Previously abstracted commercial/retail/office/industrial leases and supporting lease documents into various databases by strictly adhering to prescribed guidelines. My expertise included recognizing and accurately abstracting critical lease elements, such as dates, lease option types, rent and other charges (CPI, Sales Tax, Percentage Rent), repairs and maintenance obligations, and lease clauses (Co-Tenancy, Exclusive Use, Radius Restrictions, and Surrender). I effectively summarized lease data without compromising legal intent or meaning, and performed audits of key financial terms and dates as well as identifying lease discrepancies.
