Date management is all about organizing and remembering important meetings, deadlines and holidays on both your personal and professional calendars. When it comes to commercial real estate, date management is one of the most critical aspects of the job.
In fact, missing any timelines or critical dates can be unforgiving for a CRE professional. Fortunately, Quarem’s CRE software presents robust solutions for critical date management. Let’s explore some of the most common types of dates CRE pros track and how Quarem can help.
Types of Dates CRE Professional Need to Manage
While the outside world may think commercial real estate professionals only need to worry about when a lease starts and ends, the reality is that there are several different types of critical dates CRE professionals need to track. Here are some of them:
- Rent dates: From annual increases or changes in rent to audit windows and default time periods for rental payments, there are several dates associated with tenant rent that you have to handle.
- Lease commencements/terminations: Your portfolio is full of different leases with different terms and different dates for commencement and termination. Keeping track of all of them is crucial for portfolio organization and managing negotiation opportunities.
- Option/right dates: When are your tenants allowed to negotiate a renewal? When do they have to notify you about vacating? Can they buy out of the remainder of a lease by a certain dates? By knowing all of these dates, you’ll have the upper hand.
- Other dates: Finally there are less-common dates, such as security deposit refund dates, relocation date restrictions, days of parking availability and more. And did we mention special dates for things like the new FASB leasing standards?
Fortunately, the right CRE software can help you manage all of these dates and more.
