KREM Crew
Let me pull back the curtain a little bit. I’m mostly comfortable allowing myself to be vulnerable. I’m going to take an opportunity here to humble brag for a minute. 2019 was an incredible year for KREM. Our team (the #KREMcrew) worked their butts off to ensure all of our rental clients were taken care of. This means having no exclusive rental inventory left behind post-9/1.
