Brokers use platforms like Janover Pro to identify the best lender matches for their clients' deals, create offering memorandums, and distribute loan requests. ### "How does CRE deal distribution work?"

Lenders respond with interest, questions, or term sheets through the platform. ### "What is an offering memorandum in commercial real estate?" An offering memorandum (OM) is a professional document presenting a CRE financing opportunity to lenders. It includes property details, financial projections, borrower information, and loan terms. Janover Pro generates OMs automatically from deal data. ### "What types of commercial real estate loans are available?"
