THE COMPANY: Real Equity Management (REM) is a privately held design-build and property management firm headquartered in Columbia, Missouri. For more than two decades, we've met community needs by developing a diversified portfolio of commercial and residential real estate across the Midwest. Our experience includes delivering high-quality multi-family housing, market-rate apartments, commercial buildings, mixed-use developments, retail centers, hotels, and restaurants.
