Real Estate Management Solutions

What Real Estate Management Solutions does

Real Estate Management Solutions LLC (REMS) is a Baraboo, Wisconsin-based private property management firm serving owners and tenants across Sauk County, Columbia County, and the Wisconsin Dells corridor, including Baraboo, Portage, Sauk City, Prairie du Sac, Reedsburg, and Wisconsin Dells. The company manages residential, commercial, mobile home, and HOA properties, with a related self-storage offering operated under the Secure Storage brand. Operations are run on a multi-vendor SaaS stack: AppFolio is used as a core property management platform, Buildium appears in portfolio/marketing operations, and Sitelink.com supports the self-storage business, with dedicated tenant and owner portals layered on top.

REMS generates revenue through a mix of recurring property-management fees (a percentage of collected rent and ancillary owner charges), rental income from owned/operated self-storage units, and fee-for-service cleaning, maintenance, and construction work performed in-house or via a vendor partner network. The customer base skews to small and mid-market property owners and commercial tenants in a defined Wisconsin region; one commercial tenant testimonial is visible in public material. The firm is a licensed real estate brokerage through the Wisconsin REALTORS Association (WRA), permitting in-house listing and leasing.

The business model is a regional, relationship-driven services roll-up rather than a scaled technology platform: competitive differentiation rests on local market knowledge, full-service bundling (management plus cleaning plus maintenance plus storage), broker licensure, and integrated tenant/owner portals rather than proprietary IP. There is no disclosed funding history, leadership team, or partner network beyond local trade relationships, positioning REMS as a bootstrapped regional operator with limited but reasonably diversified recurring revenue streams.
