Built for commercial leases.
You've evaluated CLMs, AI legal tools, and document-automation engines. They're all built for a different problem. LeasePilot is built for one — drafting commercial leases on your forms, your clauses, your deal logic.
We're not trying to be everything.
The market is full of platforms that touch commercial leases somewhere in their lifecycle. Almost none of them draft the lease. Here's the line we draw.
| What you might consider | Where it stops |
|---|---|
| Document automation | Generic engine. You'd build the CRE logic. |
| AI legal copilots | Probabilistic. CRE math has to be exact. |
| CLM platforms | Procurement workflow. Not 80-page lease drafting. |
| Lease administration | Begins after signing. We end at signing. |
| Leasing CRM | Tracks the pipeline. Hands off the doc. |
| Property management | Runs the building. Receives the lease. |
We do exactly one thing: draft commercial leases. When that's the work, the tool that does only that beats the tool that does ten things adjacent to it.
Pick the tool you're weighing — read the verdict.

Five things only CRE-native software actually does.
01 Built only for CRE leasing
Every line of the engine assumes a commercial lease. Not adapted from contract software, not bolted onto something else.
Built-in concepts
- Percentage rent
- CAM reconciliation
- TI allowances
- Rent escalations
- Pro-rata share
- Estoppel & SNDA
02 Deterministic calculation engine
Rent schedules, percentage breakpoints, pro-rata shares — calculated once, the same way, every time.
Year 3, retail anchor
base_rent =$24.50 /sf
escalator =3% annual
premises =8,200 sf
→ year_3_rent =$219,640.42
03 Custom-built per customer
Your forms. Your clause library. Your per-building defaults. Encoded once, applied across every lease the team drafts.
Customer clause · §6.2 percentage rent
Tenant shall pay percentage rent equal to [BREAKPOINT_PCT] of Gross Sales in excess of the Natural Breakpoint, calculated [QUARTERLY|ANNUALLY] per the methodology in Schedule C.
04 One deal, every document
Lease, amendments, SNDAs, estoppels, commencement letters, guaranties — generated from the same deal record. No re-keying.
From one deal record
- Lease
- Amendment
- SNDA
- Estoppel
- Commencement letter
- Guaranty
05 Fits the stack you already run
Tenant data flows in from your PM and CRM systems. Signed lease data flows back. We don't ask you to rip anything out.

Objections, addressed.
01 Why not just keep using Word?
02 We already have a CLM. Why do we need LeasePilot?
03 How does LeasePilot compare to HotDocs or Contract Express?
04 We use Yardi or MRI. Does LeasePilot replace that?
05 What about our existing templates?
06 How long does implementation take?
One tool, one job —done well.
