Lease administration is one of those industries that often goes unnoticed, until you need it. Like many, I stumbled into this career, and after nearly a decade in the field, one thing is clear: explaining lease administration to those outside the industry is no easy task. It’s complex, frequently overlooked, yet absolutely essential for businesses managing real estate portfolios.
My journey in lease administration started with manually tracking lease data for a $500 million private equity portfolio. I then went to a service provider to oversee a lease administration team for a multibillion-dollar firm. Today, I help small to mid-sized companies move beyond spreadsheets and paper files to fully integrated lease administration solutions.
One of the biggest challenges in this industry is the lack of accessible information. Because lease administration is such a niche field, resources are scarce, whether for professionals exploring career opportunities or companies searching for the right lease management solution.
That’s why this blog exists: to demystify lease administration. Whether you’re an aspiring lease administrator or a business in need of better lease management, you’ll find insights, industry updates, and practical guidance to help you make informed decisions.
My mission is simple: to share knowledge, close the information gap, and make lease administration more accessible to those who need it most.
Sincerely,
