It all begins with an idea.

Commercial Lease Management (CLM) is the brainchild of a seasoned lease administration professional who, early in their career, faced a common frustration: the lack of readily available, comprehensive online resources for navigating the intricate world of commercial lease administration.

Why CLM?

With several years of experience in lease administration, I've walked in the shoes of both tenants and landlords. My career began with on-the-job training, piecing together information from scattered sources, and often learning through trial and error. This journey sparked a realization: there had to be a better way.

For years, I worked on the tenant side, managing diverse portfolios and grappling with the challenges of multi-site lease management. Later, I transitioned to the landlord perspective, overseeing properties and gaining invaluable insights into the other side of the leasing equation. This dual experience has given me a unique, 360-degree view of the lease administration landscape.

The Birth of CLM

The idea for CLM was born out of necessity. I envisioned a centralized hub where lease administration and real estate professionals could find comprehensive, reliable, and up-to-date information. A place where the complexities of lease clauses, CAM reconciliations, and regulatory compliance could be demystified.

What started as a personal project to document my learnings and best practices has grown into a comprehensive resource.
