What Quarem does

Quarem is a privately held, Houston, TX-based software company founded in 2001 by John Rice (a former tenant-rep CRE broker with 12 years of brokerage experience at a major Dallas/Fort Worth firm). It builds and operates a cloud-based commercial real estate (CRE) lease management platform that centralizes lease documents, abstracts over 400 structured data points per lease, and surfaces automated critical-date alerts for expirations, renewals, rent escalations, and insurance events. Around this core, the platform layers modules for ASC 842 and IFRS 16 lease-accounting compliance (ROU calculations, amortization tables, journal entries), customizable reporting with scheduled PDF/spreadsheet export, task/project management, furniture, fixtures & equipment (FF&E) asset tracking, and a property-management module with rent rolls and tenant visualization.

The product is tightly coupled with a human services layer that differentiates Quarem from purely software competitors: an in-house, US-based lease abstracting team delivers three packaged plans (Lite, Standard, Forensic), and the company also provides data migration, custom integration, and onsite/online training services. Pricing is quote-based and structured as a subscription with both month-to-month and annual contract flexibility, calibrated to portfolio size (typically 10 to 500+ leases) and the scope of services bundled. SOC 1 Type I certification underwrites enterprise and audit-bound buyers, and Microsoft Entra SSO integration targets IT-managed enterprise deployments.

Quarem goes to market via a sales-led motion with personalized demos, custom quotes, and dedicated account management — supplemented by a content engine (a 32+ page CRE blog, free downloadable guides, and presence at industry conferences such as SIOR, BOMA, CREW Network, CoreNet Global, and CRE Tech). The platform serves organizations managing CRE lease portfolios — both tenants and landlords — across healthcare, media, manufacturing, education, franchise networks, and private equity, with leases under management across 71 countries. The company operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees, leadership consisting of John Rice (President), Guy Gray (COO), Devin Dudley (VP, Operations & Accounting), and Rebekah Cornelius (Director, Client Services), with all central functions — technology, abstracting, client services, and leadership — co-located at the Houston headquarters.

Direct peers

• Visual Lease: Visual Lease is a CRE lease accounting and administration SaaS platform built specifically for ASC 842/IFRS 16 compliance and lease management — directly comparable to Quarem's core platform and target buyer (accounting/finance and CRE teams managing lease portfolios).
• LeaseAccelerator: LeaseAccelerator (now part of Optera) provides enterprise lease accounting and administration software, including a flagship ASC 842 compliance product — a head-to-head competitor to Quarem's Lease Accounting module for mid-market and enterprise lease portfolios.

Broad incumbents

• MRI Software: MRI Software sells a broad CRE and property management suite that includes lease administration and accounting modules. It is a well-capitalized incumbent whose bundled offering competes with Quarem at the enterprise end of the market.
• Yardi: Yardi is a dominant, broad CRE/property management software vendor whose Voyager and Elevate suites include lease management functionality. It competes with Quarem primarily in larger landlord and tenant portfolios where suite consolidation is preferred.
• RealPage: RealPage offers a wide array of real estate software, including lease administration components adjacent to its property management platform. As a large incumbent, it is the type of well-funded competitor Quarem faces when customers scale.
• Argus Software (Altus Group): Altus Group's Argus suite is widely used for CRE valuation, lease analysis, and investment management. It is a complementary/competing solution for larger investors and lenders doing CRE lease analytics, often overlapping with Quarem's reporting and due-diligence use cases.

Emerging players

• Re-Leased: Re-Leased is a cloud-based CRE lease management platform for landlords and tenants, with strong focus on smaller and mid-sized portfolios — closely overlapping Quarem's 10–500 lease sweet spot.
• LeaseCrunch: LeaseCrunch provides cloud-based lease accounting software purpose-built for ASC 842/IFRS 16 compliance, with an emerging accountant-channel go-to-market. It competes most directly with Quarem's lease accounting module.
• Occupier: Occupier is a CRE lease management and lease accounting platform aimed at occupier/tenant teams, with ASC 842 workflows. It targets the same tenant-side, mid-market buyer that Quarem serves with its accounting and critical-date modules.
• Spacewalk: Spacewalk (formerly Re-leased competitor) is a cloud lease management platform focused on mid-market tenant and landlord portfolios with automated critical date alerts and ASC 842 reporting — a younger but directly comparable alternative to Quarem.
