About Us
No other CRE brokerage firm has had such a profound impact on the transformation of Los Angeles into a world-renowned metropolis. W.H. Daum founded Los Angeles’ first commercial real estate brokerage firm in 1904, a venture that was instrumental in bringing more than 6,500 companies into the fledgling Los Angeles market and helping the city grow into one of the most commercially and culturally relevant marketplaces in the world.
More than a century later DAUM continues to serve as a visionary partner for its real estate clients, helping them to better position their businesses and take full advantage of developing local, regional and global opportunities. DAUM runs eleven (11) strategically located offices throughout Southern California and Arizona and provides a full array of commercial real estate services, including brokerage, national tenant representation, consulting, leasing, sales and property management.

In the early 1900’s, the City of Los Angeles was an emerging metropolis, teaming with entrepreneurial spirit. It was here where William H. Daum first came to the city as an agent for the Santa Fe Railway. Recognizing that the best way to build commerce was to attract new businesses, Daum founded Los Angeles’ first commercial real estate brokerage firm in 1904, a venture that was instrumental in bringing more than 6,500 companies into the fledgling Los Angeles market and helping the city grow into one of the most commercially and culturally relevant marketplaces in the world.
More than a century later, as Los Angeles’ strategic position in the global economy continues to place greater demands on its real estate, DAUM’s vision is more alive than ever. Remaining true to its core values, DAUM continues to serve as a visionary partner for its real estate clients, helping them to better position their businesses and take full advantage of developing local, regional and global opportunities. DAUM continues its legacy of providing best-of-class services in office, industrial, corporate, retail and investment properties.
