Key takeaways
  • Commercial CRM links three things: people, companies and properties.
  • Lease expiry dates and asking terms drive timing.
  • Deals involve many stakeholders; track all of them.

Why CRE needs a different data model

In commercial real estate (CRE), the buyer or tenant is usually a company, the decision-makers are several people and the asset is a specific building or unit. A CRE CRM therefore needs relationships among contacts, companies and properties, not just a list of names.

What to record

  • Properties: address, type (office, retail, industrial, multifamily), size, availability, lease expiry
  • Companies: industry, size, locations, portfolio
  • Contacts: role, authority, relationship history
  • Deals: stage, value, expected close, stakeholders

A CRE pipeline

Prospect, Qualified, Tour, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed. Because cycles are long, tasks and reminders matter more than automated sequences. See lead management.

Using lease expiry as a trigger

If you know a tenant’s lease expires in 18 months, a reminder at 24 months starts the conversation before competitors do. Store key dates and set tasks from them.

Where a CRM stops

Commercial data providers, listing services and valuation tools are separate products. A CRM should connect via import and integrations, not try to replace them. Some commercial systems like RealNex bundle marketplace tools.
