Our Leadership
At REMS, our executives stay engaged on every project we deliver, mentoring the team members we place and keeping senior attention on your project from kickoff through closeout. Meet the leaders who set the standard for how we serve you.
Efe Halici
PRESIDENT + FOUNDER
As President and Founder of Real Estate Management Solutions (REMS), Efe provides the strategic vision and executive leadership that define how the firm serves its clients, while remaining a hands-on principal on the engagements where his technical depth and client relationships add the most value. He started REMS as a one-person firm and has grown it one project at a time into a trusted owner’s representative and construction project management partner for utility, industrial, and institutional owners.
With comprehensive experience in civil engineering and construction management, Efe brings the technical fluency to engage directly with engineers, contractors, and real estate professionals, and the deep knowledge of utility operations to turn technical findings into sound ownership decisions.

Hannah brings owner’s representative experience delivering lab, vivarium, and cGMP cleanroom projects for life science and biotechnology clients, along with corporate real estate experience managing fit-outs, moves, and relocations across East Coast and Midwest locations for a national financial services firm.

Joel Hindelang
Program Manager
As Program Manager, Joel provides program leadership and senior oversight across the REMS portfolio, with hands-on involvement in onboarding new clients and delivering the firm’s most complex projects. Based in Philadelphia, he brings cost, schedule, and scope under control on large capital programs, keeping process and reporting consistent across concurrent projects in occupied, operationally sensitive, mission-critical facilities.
Joel built that command of project controls on the contractor side, delivering ground-up and heavy-industrial projects from pre-construction through closeout. His work includes master site planning and expansion of an active, one-million-square-foot vehicle production plant, distribution centers approaching one million square feet, a LEED Silver distribution center on a remediated brownfield site, and LEED Gold biopharmaceutical lab and manufacturing facilities. He then moved to the ownership side, leading ground-up lab, office, and infrastructure development for a developer and overseeing a multi-project capital master plan as an owner’s representative.
That path from builder to developer to owner’s representative gives Joel a complete view of how projects are priced, built, and paid for, and he brings all three perspectives to every program he leads.

Dominick Dunnigan
VICE PRESIDENT OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
As Vice President of Business Development, Dominick leads REMS growth strategy, client outreach, and proposal development, building lasting relationships with owners across utility, industrial, corporate, and institutional markets. He joined REMS after a career leading business development for contractors brought in early, from feasibility and concept design, working alongside owners through programming and design to deliver successful results in the field.
That early-involvement experience is what Dominick brings to REMS clients. He has seen firsthand how decisions made during feasibility and design shape cost, schedule, and quality once construction begins, and he now applies that insight on the owner’s side of the table. His experience spans K-12, higher education, multifamily, mixed-use, and historic preservation projects, along with institutional marketing leadership in financial services.
