Ron Barness is a real estate broker who has years of experience in the field of real estate in Phoenix. He has just returned into business by opening "Retail Property Management, LLC" - a new property management company for commercial retail spaces in Phoenix.

As well, Ron Barness is a former principal of the commercial real estate companies, Retail Brokers, Inc. and Barness Papas Investments. Numbers of cases were brought against Barness by investors who lost significant amounts of money when the real estate market crashed. All but one of the investor lawsuits have been dismissed in Maricopa County Superior Court.

Investors who worked with him before at RBI own the three shopping centers that Ron Barness is currently managing under his new company Retail Property Management. They have stood by his side throughout the lawsuits. Now he is focusing on picking up the pieces and re-building the business he was forced to give up.
