"I see the opportunity to take the editorial scope of Real Estate Southern California to yet another level as a new and exciting challenge," notes Williams, who assumes the reins of a magazine that boasts a circulation of more than 20,000. "As the only glossy monthly magazine to cover commercial and multifamily real estate throughout the area's four major markets--Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and the Inland Empire--Real Estate Southern California has carved a unique position in the industry as the venue for real estate decision makers to read about the latest industry buzz as well as share their thoughts on important market trends. We intend to build upon that reputation."
