First African American appointed chairman of board for Society of Commercial Realtors

Timothy L. Williams, a longtime resident of Fort Worth and president of Trojan Commercial Real Estate, LLC, has been appointed Chairman of the Board of Governors for the Society of Commercial Realtors (SCR). He is the first African American to serve in that position in the organization’s 35-year history.
A native of Evansville, IN., Williams moved to Fort Worth in 1979 to attend Tarrant County
College, majoring in communications. Prior to joining Trojan CRE, he was an agent with Austin Company Commercial Real Estate for 17 years, during which time he developed skills and qualifications in sales and leasing, contract negotiations, buyers and tenant representation, land assemblages, property management, real estate consulting and city zoning.
The SCR is the commercial realtor organization that operates independently under the auspices of the Greater Fort Worth Association of Realtors. It offers networking, education and deal-making opportunities for the commercial real estate practitioner.
Williams, who is also a member of the Greater Fort Worth Association of Realtors, said the
greater Fort Worth area is growing rapidly with incredible economic opportunities, and SCR is positioned to be the voice of commercial real estate in the area.
“I’m honored to have been chosen to help lead the organization at this time,” said Williams.
“It’s a great organization that was established in 1987 as the commercial real estate division of the Greater Fort Worth Association of Realtors.”
He added, “I’m deeply gracious to become the first Black American to be named Chairman. It’s an accomplishment that I do not take for granted. I know my parents are smiling down from heaven with joy. To be named the ‘first’ in anything is an achievement, and for these things to happen now in 2023 — and after the celebration of the MLK Holiday — lets me know that his dream/our dream is still being fulfilled.
With over 40 years of experience in management, marketing and sales, Williams is a past
committee member of the Fort Worth Citizen Advisory Board and the Fort Worth ISD Human Relations Committee.
He and his wife of over 30 years have one daughter.
