Head of Brokerage & Investment Strategies
Ron Epstein
With four decades of commercial real estate experience, Ron Epstein ensures you are making informed property decisions. Ron’s broad experience, from leasing and development to marketing and management, supports you through every stage of the real estate cycle, helping you define and achieve your own Realty Wealth.
From the Bottom Up
Clients trust Ron because he’s walked in the shoes of the very people he now advises, across leasing, development, management, and investment.
Ron began the first decade of his career in the trenches as a leasing agent at Polimeni Realty, first on the property side and eventually transitioning to tenant representation. He specialized in QSR and restaurant ground lease deals; this experience laid the foundation for his next chapter: commercial development.
Going Global
In 1998, Ron became Partner and Executive Vice President at Polimeni International, where he helped reposition a regional retail portfolio and led a development program in Poland, which was just emerging from communist rule.
After well over a million air miles, Ron and the international team built nearly two million square feet of shopping centers countrywide, with 300+ tenants from across Europe; navigating myriad legal systems, currencies, time zones, and languages, with two “Shopping Center of the Year” CEE Retail Awards to show for their efforts.
Consulting & Collaboration
After the crisis of ’08, Ron founded Baltic America Properties, aligning a team of independent contractors to support investors expanding into Poland, notably collaborating with French national pension fund AXA to co-sponsor a $190 million bid for an off-market retail portfolio held by London-based hedge fund Aerium.
Back to Basics
Back in the U.S., Ron is again using his experience locally. A standout effort includes co-sponsorship of an $80 million Public-Private Partnership proposal for a multifamily and structured parking facility in downtown Huntington, then joining Realty Connect in 2019 as Associate Broker to launch and grow its commercial division, RC Commercial Partners.
In 2025, Ron founded Realty Wealth Property Solutions, synthesizing the many decades he has devoted to brokerage, development, management, finance, and marketing. RWPS was built for the everyday property owner like you: successful, grounded investors who deserve the kind of seasoned, strategic guidance typically available only to funds and large firms.
An exasperated golfer and chess grandmaster in waiting, Ron finds relaxation at home listening to his wife Evelyn, an accomplished classical pianist and teacher, and tending to a pond full of very demanding Koi fish.
