Every lease, read line by line.

I built this because I kept seeing the same mistakes.

Ten years in commercial real estate teaches you one thing clearly: tenants are consistently the least-informed party in any lease transaction. Landlords have agents. Agents have lawyers. Tenants have Google and hope.

I've watched businesses lose their right to renew because nobody set a calendar reminder. I've seen rent review determinations go unchallenged because the tenant had no comparable evidence. I've watched tenants walk into make-good obligations worth more than six months' rent because no one read clause 42.

Obsessed Lease exists to fix the information gap — not as a law firm billing by the hour, and not as a property agent with a landlord on the other line. As a fixed-fee advisory practice that is structurally, commercially, and professionally on your side for the entire life of your lease.

Why advisory, not a law firm? I hold a law degree and chose to run an advisory practice because the retainer model lets me be more useful to more commercial tenants at a fraction of what a lawyer costs — without the compliance overhead that raises your fees. When you need a lawyer to execute, I hand off a fully briefed file so they're not billing to read your lease for the first time.
How it works

Up and running in one week.

Day 0 — Brief Day 7 — Reporting live
01 — Brief Day 0
Service brief
We start by taking a brief on the services you need, so the engagement is scoped to your situation — not a one-size-fits-all package.
02 — Sign Day 1
Engagement letter
We send a letter of engagement, or an agreement of scope of works, setting out exactly what's covered. Sign it and send your lease documents — abstraction begins within one business day.
03 — Abstract Day 1–2
Into LeaseEagle
Every lease is abstracted into LeaseEagle and each critical date — options, rent reviews, make-good — is set with 90/60/30-day alerts.
04 — Screen Day 3–4
Risk & comparables
CreditorWatch and TICA sweeps run on all parties, and Arealytic rent comparables are pulled to benchmark exactly where you stand.
05 — Report Day 5–7
90-Day Risk Report
Your plain-English report lands — every risk, red flag, and upcoming date — and your first strategy call is booked.

By the end of week one, you'll know more about your lease than most tenants learn in a decade — every critical date tracked, every risk named.
