Bentonville firm Focus Commercial Real Estate has promoted Oksana DeMaris and Lindy Janes to principal.

Both have worked for the company since its launch in early 2021.

Patrick Byrd and Butch Gurganus co-founded the company. Ramsay Ball is also a principal and executive broker.

Janes manages the largest office park in Northwest Arkansas, the 79-acre Beau Terre development. The 35-building, 383,000-square-foot  office park is off Interstate 49 in Bentonville, intersected by Arkansas Highway 72.

DeMaris, previously a brokerage associate, is a Northwest Arkansas native and a University of Arkansas graduate with a finance degree. She received the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation in 2022.

“We are fortunate that Oksana and Lindy have been part of Focus since its formation and look forward to great accomplishments from each of them,” said Gurganus, the company’s president.
