商業地產Commercial & International Real Estate
Lease the building.Source the next one.
Annie Liu Williams helps San Gabriel Valley owners, tenants, investors, and overseas families make commercial real estate decisions in two languages: lease up a vacancy, source a building to buy, decide whether to sell, or manage a California property decision from abroad.
Owner outcomes
Built for the commercial decisions owners actually face
For owners
Lease up a vacancy
Position the space, qualify the tenant pool, negotiate the business terms, and keep the renewal calendar visible before the next vacancy starts.
For buyers
Source the next building
Turn a vague acquisition goal into a target map, direct owner outreach, and a disciplined screen before time gets spent on the wrong opportunity.
For long-time owners
Decide hold, sell, or restructure
Show the owner what the building is worth, what it keeps producing if held, and what a sale or exchange would actually solve.
For international families
Operate from abroad
Remote walkthroughs, bilingual negotiation, escrow logistics, and advisor coordination for owners whose decisions happen outside California.
Five ways in
Representation, whichever side you’re on
業主代表
Landlord Representation
Leasing your space is a pricing problem, a marketing problem, and a credit problem — in that order. Representation that treats it as all three.
Read the approach租戶代表
Tenant Representation
The lease is one of your business's largest fixed costs, negotiated against someone with far more repetitions than you. Level the table.

Deal Sourcing
For owners and investors who want the next building, not just the next listing. Criteria, target mapping, owner outreach, and disciplined first-pass underwriting.
Read the approach投資買賣
Investment Sales
A loan matures, a partner wants out, the estate plan gets real. When the question becomes hold or sell, the answer should start with a valuation you can defend.

International Commercial Clients
Commercial representation for overseas owners, buyers, and families managing California property decisions across language, time zone, escrow, and advisor boundaries.

Four property types, one valley
Office辦公
San Gabriel Valley office is not downtown-tower office. The tenants here are professional practices, service firms, and owner-users who care about parking, signage, and being close to the clients they already have. Positioning a suite means marketing to the tenant who will actually show up — not the one in a pro forma.
Medical Office醫療辦公
Among the stickiest tenancies in commercial real estate, and often the most expensive to build. Plumbing in the walls, parking ratios, ADA access, and licensing make medical deals slower — and make the space worth more once it's leased. The corridors around Huntington Health in Pasadena and USC Arcadia Hospital anchor practitioner demand across the valley.
Industrial工業
Infill SGV industrial trades on unglamorous details: clear height, power, dock and grade-level access, usable yard. An owner-user and an investor read the same building completely differently — one is buying a home for a business, the other is buying a lease. The right answer starts with knowing which buyer the building actually fits.
Retail零售
Annie managed restaurants before she sold real estate. She reads a retail space the way an operator does — foot traffic, parking turns, hood-and-grease infrastructure, and whether the tenant mix next door helps you or hurts you. That operator's eye matters most in the food-driven corridors that define SGV retail.
中英雙語International owner desk
California commercial decisions, handled across borders
In the San Gabriel Valley, the person making the commercial decision may be in Arcadia, Taipei, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, or somewhere else entirely. Annie’s role is to keep the property, the people, and the timeline connected: Mandarin and English communication, video-first property review, and careful coordination with the licensed advisors who handle tax, legal, banking, escrow, and immigration questions.
Read the international approachBilingual first read
Annie can walk the property, narrate what matters in Mandarin or English, and separate cosmetic marketing from the physical and lease issues an owner needs to understand.
Time-zone practical
Tour windows, calls, document review, and escrow milestones are planned around where the decision-maker actually is, not only California business hours.
Advisor-led compliance
FIRPTA, entity structure, immigration questions, tax reporting, and cross-border transfer rules belong to licensed attorneys, CPAs, qualified intermediaries, and escrow. Annie raises the issues early and coordinates with them; she does not give tax, legal, or immigration advice.
Straight talk
What this practice is — and isn’t
Annie’s commercial work is built for the owners and operators of the San Gabriel Valley’s working buildings — the office suites, medical plazas, infill industrial, and neighborhood retail that local families actually own. It pairs hospitality-grade service with a simple rule carried over from the residential side of this site: no claim without the reasoning behind it.
It is not an institutional shop. If you’re trading an eight-figure portfolio with a pension fund on the other side, you’ll be better served by an institutional brokerage — and Annie will tell you that on the first call, and help you find one.
How it starts
Three steps, no paperwork to begin
01
A conversation
Thirty minutes, by phone or at the property, about the building and what's changing — not about signing anything.
02
A written read
What the space or asset can realistically achieve — rent range, positioning, or value — with the reasoning and comparables shown, not just a number.
03
A decision you own
Proceed, wait, or do nothing. If the right answer is do nothing, that's what you'll hear — and the read is yours to keep either way.
Start the conversation
Tell Annie about the building
Owner, tenant, buyer, or overseas family office — the first conversation is about the property, the opportunity, and the next decision you need to make.
