Aaims was formed in 1984 by Tom Wills to provide professional services to landlords. Having worked many years in Fayetteville for a nationally franchised company, Tom noticed that almost all real estate companies seemed to manage property only as a sideline. A majority of the company resources were focused on real estate sales and property management was only a secondary business used to help generate those sales. Tom saw the need for a company that specialized in property management. A company whose only focus was on managing property and taking care of the details for owners of investment property.
