Less time in PDFs. More time on deals.
Leases, offering memorandums, comps and market reports are long documents with a few numbers that matter. Claude reads them, pulls out what matters and drafts the client-ready version.
Sound familiar?
These are the jobs commercial real estate professionals tell us take the most time before they work with a coach, and the ones Claude helps with first.
Lease abstraction is slow
Pulling term, rent steps, options and clauses out of a 60-page lease takes hours per document.
Market updates take days
Turning comps and research into a client-ready report is copy, paste and reformat.
Every pitch is custom
Proposals, BOVs and tour books get rebuilt for each client and property.
Six ways to start.
Lease abstracts
Upload a lease PDF and get a structured abstract: parties, term, rent schedule, options, CAM, assignment and unusual clauses, with page references to check.
Comps and market tables
Clean up comp exports and market data in Excel, flag outliers and draft the commentary that goes with them.
Offering memos and BOV drafts
Draft property narratives, location overviews and investment highlights from your data and photos, ready for your edit.
Tenant requirement summaries
Turn discovery calls and emails into a clean requirements brief for a tenant rep search.
Client updates and tour books
Weekly status emails and tour summaries drafted from your notes and listings.
Portfolio questions
Ask questions across a folder of leases, like which expire in the next 18 months, and get a table back to verify.

Quick answers.
How do commercial real estate professionals use Claude?
Brokers, tenant reps and asset managers use Claude to abstract leases, clean up comps and market data, draft offering memo and BOV narratives, summarize tenant requirements, and write client updates. Each output is a draft that a professional checks before it's shared.
Can Claude abstract a commercial lease?
Yes. Claude can read a lease PDF and produce a structured abstract covering parties, term, rent steps, options, operating expenses and unusual clauses. We teach teams to ask for page references and verify every number, because abstracts are only useful when they're right.
Is it safe to put client and property data into Claude?
Use a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, whose terms say your data isn't used to train models, and set clear rules for what each NDA or listing agreement allows. A coach can help you write those rules before the team starts.
Does Claude work with Excel for comps?
Yes. Claude can create and edit spreadsheets, clean up comp exports, flag outliers and draft commentary, and the Claude in Excel add-in brings it into the workbook itself on supported plans.
