Mail Stop 4561 January 6, 2006 Chad C. Braun Chief Financial Officer Amreit 8 Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000 Houston, TX 77046 	Re:	Amreit 		Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004 		Form 10-Q for Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2005 		File No. 0-28374 Dear Mr. Braun: We have reviewed your response letter dated November 14, 2005 and have the following additional comment. In our comment, we ask you to provide us with additional information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments. Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comment or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004 Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition, page F-9 1. We have read your response to our previous comment three and continue to believe that commission revenues charged to the REIT by ASC, a consolidated subsidiary, should be eliminated in consolidation. We also note your representation that eliminating the commission revenues from transactions between the REIT and ASC and then presenting the expenses incurred by ASC as issuance costs in the REIT financial statements would not have an impact on net income. Please confirm to us that this adjustment will not impact net income. If that is the case, we believe this reclassification should be made in your future filings accordingly. Please respond to the comment included in this letter within ten business days. If you have any questions, you may contact Thomas Flinn, Staff Accountant, at (202) 551-3469 or the undersigned at (202) 551-3413 if you have questions. 			Sincerely, Cicely D.
