ABOUT US
Williams Real Estate Management, Inc (WREM) was founded in September 1997 by Audrey B. Williams, CSM, CPM®, as a full service, independent real estate property management company. WREM separates itself from other management companies by focusing on assisting property owners with enhancing the value of their properties. This shift in focus from traditional care-taking by property managers emphasizes the importance and impact of professional management to the over-all investment team.
The depth of experience of WREM's team focuses in commercial properties. With personal involvement in well over 4 million square feet of industrial, office building, neighborhood, community and power shopping centers, there are very few leasing, positioning, maintenance, administrative or tenant relation situations that have not been previously resolved.
The corporate objective is to provide exceptional quality real estate management services to owners of Southern California commercial properties in the 3,000 - 500,000 square foot range.
Today's complex leases require accurate accounting and pass-through to tenants. WREM's accounting software, licensed by Sage/Timberline, Inc., has complete flexibility to be customized to a client's needs. All property management and lease administration functions are computerized and integrated with the accounting system, which assures the proper calculation of rent increases and tracking of lease options and expirations.
