by Sarah Daniels October 26, 2023

Today’s accelerating technology transformation is altering how the commercial real estate industry executes transactions and manages assets. “The amount of information that a multifamily borrower needs to submit and disclose has become more demanding over time,” says William (Bill) Hyman, a Lument senior managing director who oversees the firm’s strategic business technology transformation and conventional loan production. “That has made due diligence more complex and data intensive, and we wanted to create a more secure and expedient way to tackle that process.” Seeing this need, Lument responded by creating a suite of proprietary technology tools.
