ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. -- Leo Software, a leading provider of information systems for commercial property management, today announced RFP Commercial, Inc., a Milwaukee-based brokerage, has begun using Leo Software to manage and market its portfolio of commercial properties.

The firm's brokers recently used Leo Software to create lease abstracts and to generate unit-specific marketing materials for a 52-unit commercial property that RFP Commercial represented. Additionally, RFP uses Leo Software to manage various details of a Midwest-based portfolio of properties that it owns. RFP Commercial is a full service commercial real estate brokerage, serving a diverse clientele in the Milwaukee area and throughout the Midwest.

"We're using Leo Software to track insurance expiration dates, lease renewal dates and other milestones," said Mary Ackerman, general manager of RFP Commercial. "It's also useful for calculating scenarios for re-financing. Leo provides an easy way for our owners to check on the status of properties and changes in the portfolio, without requiring our property managers and brokers to spend time creating reports."

Ackerman said the company's brokers use Leo to allow prospective investors to preview property offerings online. "It lets us show clients only what's relevant to them," she noted.

Leo Software generates real time access to all types of documents including lease abstracts. It also populates dynamic stacking plans with current data, and flags upcoming events such as impending changes or obligations in leases or mortgages.

Users can subscribe to Leo for an affordable monthly fee with no set-up fee and no long-term commitments.
