This is part four of a four part series exploring How Your Real Estate Lease Management Process Flows.  Click here for Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

To effectively track the flow of information:

Step 4 – Monitor compliance using tools tailored around your processes.
Develop management reports that quickly identify errors in data or changes in your portfolio. For example, in order to ensure that changes in rent are supported by the lease documents, you should produce a report that identifies changes in rent from one month to the next.  Similarly, in order to measure performance of disposition activities, create a report that compares changes in net absorption of vacant, surplus and subleased space within the portfolio.

Technology is a great tool for automation, but it is only as effective as your Real Estate Lease Information Flow is developed, documented and monitored over time.
