BUYER'S GUIDE
Best CRE Loan Origination, Servicing and Monitoring Software for the Maturity Wall
Updated October 2026 · 14 min read
TL;DR
For banks, nCino puts CRE origination and analysis on the same platform as the rest of the commercial book, and Moody's Lending Suite for CRE adds covenant compliance, early warning and refinance risk tools. Servicers should look at McCracken STRATEGY for dedicated commercial servicing and Backshop for one system from origination through special servicing, including modifications and extensions. For market-wide surveillance, Trepp is the institutional standard and CRED iQ publishes its prices. Lev and Pereview monitor covenants on a loan book without a full servicing system, and Land Gorilla, Built and Rabbet handle construction loans, with Rabbet publishing per-draw pricing.
A maturity wall lands on lenders as volume: more loans to re-underwrite, extend, modify or work out, more covenant tests to run and more borrowers asking for time, all through the same origination and servicing systems. This guide ranks the software lenders, servicers and debt funds use for that work, grouped by job: origination and credit, servicing, portfolio monitoring and construction loan administration.
Owners and borrowers facing the same maturities should read the companion guide to CRE debt management software.
What the Numbers Say About the 2027 Maturity Wall
"The 2027 maturity wall" took hold after S&P Global Market Intelligence projected in September 2024 that US commercial real estate mortgage maturities would peak at $1.26 trillion in 2027 [3]. That projection was built from property records, with many missing maturity dates filled in by a statistical model. Two years on, the primary sources describe a wall that is wider and earlier than one peak year:
- The Mortgage Bankers Association counts $875 billion of commercial and multifamily mortgages held by lenders and investors (17% of $5.0 trillion outstanding) scheduled to mature in 2026, and $652 billion in 2027. These are unpaid balances as of December 31, 2025, so the amounts actually due will be lower [1].
- S&P's updated model says loan extensions moved the jump it had expected into 2026, an 18.8% increase on 2025. Its updated 2027 figure sits in a gated report, so the $1.26 trillion still quoted in 2026 articles is the 2024 projection [4].
- MBA says high rates pushed many loans into extensions or modifications, so more debt rolled into 2025 and 2026 than expected [2]. Trepp adds that many near-term bank and CMBS loans carry extension options or have already been modified, so stated schedules likely overstate what must refinance in any single year [5].
- Trepp counts $76.6 billion of private-label CMBS loans reaching hard maturity in 2026, meaning no contractual extension options are left, with 39% of that falling in the fourth quarter [6].
MBA's 2026 split shows where the work sits: depositories hold $396 billion of the loans scheduled to mature in 2026, CMBS, CLO and other ABS $200 billion, credit companies and other lenders $163 billion, life insurers $76 billion and the GSEs and FHA $39 billion [1]. Trepp estimates $239.7 billion of bank income-producing loans due in 2026, about 12.5% of bank balances [5]. For lenders and servicers that means more maturities, extensions, modifications and covenant reviews running through origination and servicing systems at once. We do not forecast interest rates in this guide.
Things to Know Before the List
- Origination systems and servicing systems are different purchases. nCino and Moody's cover origination, credit and monitoring for banks; McCracken STRATEGY is a servicing and loan accounting system. Backshop is one of the few that spans both.
- Extensions and modifications need to live in the loan record. Ask how a tool models a modified loan: new maturity, paydown, rate change and added reserves, with history kept. Backshop names modifications and extensions in its debt modeling; most others do not say.
- Monitoring is only as current as the borrower's financials. Covenant tracking depends on rent rolls and operating statements arriving on time. Tools that request, read and spread them (McCracken, Lev, Clik.ai) save the most time.
- Market data and your own book are separate. Trepp and CRED iQ watch the securitized market and help benchmark refinance risk; they do not replace a system of record for your own loans.

The 11 Best Tools for Lenders and Servicers Facing the Maturity Wall
1. nCino CRE Lending
Best for: Banks and credit unions that want CRE lending on the same platform as the rest of the commercial book
nCino sells cloud banking software, and its Commercial Real Estate Lending solution covers origination, analysis and portfolio tracking for CRE loans. Lenders capture loan and collateral details in one system, build net operating income statements, run single and multi-variable sensitivity analysis to stress vacancy and interest rate assumptions, and keep a property list of tenants, lease terms, concentrations and rollovers. Credit analysis and automated spreading come from nCino's wider commercial lending products.
For a bank re-underwriting a wave of maturing loans, the appeal is one platform and one data model for CRE and the rest of the book. nCino is listed on Nasdaq, which lowers vendor risk. It is not a servicing or payment system, its CRE page does not describe covenant tracking, and it is sold to institutions through sales.
What's good
- CRE origination and credit on the platform many banks already run
- Vacancy and rate sensitivity analysis
- Tenant, rollover and concentration views
- Public, established vendor
What's not
- No published pricing
- Not a servicing system
- Covenant tracking not described on its CRE page
Pricing: Pricing on request.
2. Moody's Lending Suite for CRE
Best for: Banks that want underwriting, covenant monitoring and early warning from one credit vendor
Moody's Lending Suite for Commercial Real Estate covers borrower engagement, cash flow analysis, underwriting and scoring, decisioning and credit memos, loan operations and loan monitoring. On the monitoring side it tracks covenant compliance, runs early warning models and signals, and watches risk at loan and portfolio level, while refinance risk tools and stress testing sit in the underwriting workflow. That combination maps closely to what a maturity review needs.
Moody's previously sold this capability through its CreditLens platform, which added a CRE module in 2019, so confirm exactly which modules a proposal includes. It is built for banks and institutional lenders, pricing is by quote, and the depth of each module is hard to judge from public pages.
What's good
- Covenant compliance and early warning signals
- Refinance risk and stress testing in underwriting
- Moody's credit models and market data behind it
- Covers origination through monitoring
What's not
- No published pricing
- Product naming has shifted over the years
- Built for banks, not small private lenders
Pricing: Pricing on request.
3. Backshop
Best for: CRE lenders and servicers that want one system from pipeline to payoff
Backshop, from CMBS.com, manages a CRE loan from pipeline and workflow through valuation, asset management and exit. It values commercial, multifamily and hotel properties by direct capitalization and discounted cash flow, models debt structures including additional fundings, floating rates, modifications and extensions, calculates LTV, DSCR and debt yield, and produces deal reports in PDF and industry standard XML. An integrated CMBS library supports comparable loan searches and loss projections.
CMBS.com also sells special servicing tools for default management and loss scenario analysis and a borrower portal, and names large third-party servicers including SitusAMC, Trimont and Newmark as users. In 2024 SitusAMC took a minority stake and moved its CLOSER origination system to the company. The website is thin on detail, enterprise pricing is by quote, and expect a configuration-heavy implementation.
What's good
- Models modifications and extensions explicitly
- Origination, asset management and special servicing tools
- Integrated CMBS library for comps and loss projections
- Named large servicers as users
What's not
- Enterprise pricing not published
- Limited product detail on the website
- Implementation effort for an enterprise system
Pricing: BACKSHOP enterprise licence on request; CMBS PRO for smaller owners and borrowers $20/month or $200/year.
4. McCracken STRATEGY
Best for: Commercial and multifamily loan servicers that need servicing, accounting and compliance rules in one system
STRATEGY is McCracken Financial Solutions' system for servicing commercial and multifamily loans. It covers payment terms, interest calculations, escrow analysis, covenant compliance and investor reporting, with GAAP, statutory and tax loan accounting and an asset management portal that requests and spreads financial statements, rent rolls and inspections. A rules engine triggers actions when, for example, a debt service coverage ratio falls below a set level or periodic financials are missing, and a process manager assigns and timestamps the resulting tasks.
McCracken, based in Billerica, Massachusetts, also sells an insurance compliance tool and BUILDRITE for construction loans, and names housing finance agencies and CDFIs among its users. It is a long-established servicing vendor rather than a new AI product, the site says little about modification and extension workflows, and pricing is by quote.
What's good
- Purpose-built commercial and multifamily servicing
- Rules engine for DSCR breaches and missing financials
- Loan accounting on GAAP, statutory and tax bases
- Insurance compliance and construction loan add-ons
What's not
- No published pricing
- Modification and extension workflows not described
- Website gives little detail on integrations
Pricing: Pricing on request.
5. Trepp
Best for: CMBS investors, bank lenders and servicers that need market-wide loan surveillance and risk models
Trepp is the long-standing reference for CMBS and CRE loan data. For lenders it offers loan and property performance alerts, tools to spot refinance transition opportunities, a default model, CECL and stress testing tools and a bank peer navigator, alongside property-level data in TreppCRE. Its research is also where much of the public maturity analysis comes from, including the hard maturity counts cited above.
Fitch Group announced an agreement in April 2026 to acquire Trepp, subject to regulatory clearance. Trepp is priced for institutions and sold by demo, though the site offers a free trial on request, and it watches the market rather than serving as the system of record for your own loans.
What's good
- Deep CMBS loan and property performance data
- Default, CECL and stress testing tools
- Refinance transition analysis for lenders
- Trial on request
What's not
- No published pricing
- Institutional scope and cost
- Not a servicing system for your own book
Pricing: Pricing on request; free trial on request.
6. CRED iQ
Best for: Credit and surveillance teams that want securitized loan data at a published price
CRED iQ covers CMBS, SASB, CRE CLO and agency loans joined to public records, with a maturity pipeline, watchlists, portfolio uploads, distress alerts and valuation and refinance models. Lenders use it to monitor exposure, benchmark refinance risk and find borrowers whose loans are coming due.
Its pricing is published: Solo $625 a month, Starter $1,250 a month and Professional $3,850 a month, billed annually, with API access from Professional and an MCP server and bulk feeds on Enterprise. Coverage is strongest for securitized and agency debt, and it is younger than Trepp.
What's good
- Published pricing
- Maturity pipeline and distress alerts
- Portfolio uploads and watchlists
- API and bulk feeds for data teams
What's not
- Securitized and agency loans only for loan performance
- Younger vendor than Trepp
- Trial is a view-only demo
Pricing: Solo $625/month, Starter $1,250/month, Professional $3,850/month (billed annually); Enterprise custom.
7. Lev
Best for: Lenders and capital markets teams that want a searchable loan book and covenant surveillance without a full servicing system
Lev for Enterprise adds two tools to Lev's financing platform. Loan servicing gives a searchable loan book with terms such as maturity and minimum DSCR pulled out of loan documents. Portfolio surveillance keeps watchlists of loans, properties, markets, lenders and sponsors, compares current operating metrics with covenant minimums, keeps each figure tied to its source file, and surfaces early warnings next to recent market terms and lender activity.
It is not a payment-processing servicing system, pricing is not published, and the product is changing quickly, so confirm which modules a plan includes.
What's good
- Covenant minimums checked against current metrics
- Every figure tied to its source document
- Market terms and lender activity in the same view
- Also runs origination and lender matching
What's not
- No published pricing
- Not a payment-processing servicing system
- Fast-changing product
Pricing: Pricing on request.
8. Pereview
Best for: Debt funds and institutional lenders that hold loans as investments
Pereview is asset management software that treats debt as an asset. For debt portfolios it monitors covenant compliance and breaches on DSCR, LTV and LTC, lets you drill down by maturity, and keeps amortization schedules, alongside equity holdings in the same system. AI-assisted aggregation of rent rolls, financial statements and budgets feeds the monitoring.
It suits a fund or insurer that reports on loans to investors more than a bank servicing desk. Pricing is by request, and it is built for institutional portfolios.
What's good
- DSCR, LTV and LTC breach monitoring
- Drill-down by maturity
- Debt and equity in one system
- Investor reporting built in
What's not
- No published pricing
- Institutional scope
- Not a loan servicing or accounting system
Pricing: Pricing on request.
9. Land Gorilla
Best for: Banks and credit unions administering construction loans
Land Gorilla manages construction loans from close to completion: draw processing, budget reviews, on-site, remote and self-service inspections, and servicing tasks such as interest calculations and payoffs. Risk scoring, real-time alerts, lien monitoring and AI document processing for invoices and lien waivers help protect lien position, and a branded portal keeps borrowers and builders updated.
Construction loans that convert or refinance at completion are part of the maturity wave, and this is where their risk shows up first. Pricing is by request.
What's good
- Draw, inspection and lien workflows in one place
- Risk scoring and alerts
- Consumer and commercial construction programs
- Borrower and builder portal
What's not
- No published pricing
- Construction loans only
- Integration with core systems needed for full value
Pricing: Pricing on request.
10. Built Technologies
Best for: Larger construction lenders that want draw automation and portfolio reporting
Built covers construction loan administration for lenders: draws, budgets, inspections and risk mitigation, with an AI Draw Agent that automates draw processing. Deal management tools add an origination pipeline, offering memorandum extraction, underwriting and portfolio reporting, and the platform connects to systems such as Sage, Yardi and Procore.
It is enterprise software sold through sales, and smaller lenders may find more than they need.
What's good
- AI draw processing
- Origination pipeline and portfolio reporting
- Serves lenders, developers and contractors
- Integrations with Sage, Yardi and Procore
What's not
- No published pricing
- Enterprise scope
- Value depends on integrations
Pricing: Pricing on request.
11. Rabbet
Best for: Construction lenders that want published, per-draw pricing
Rabbet Construction Lending routes draw approvals by loan type and threshold, checks covenant and policy rules on every draw, monitors interest reserves and reports portfolio exposure and schedule deviations. Document parsing reduces manual entry on draw packages.
Pricing is published per draw: Lite $120, Standard $170 and Premium $215, with custom pricing for homebuilder facilities and contract minimums for SSO, API and integrations.
What's good
- Published per-draw pricing
- Covenant and policy checks on each draw
- Interest reserve monitoring
- Serves developers as well as lenders
What's not
- Contract minimums for SSO and API
- Construction finance only
- Per-draw costs add up on draw-heavy books
Pricing: Lite $120, Standard $170, Premium $215 per draw; Homebuilder custom.

How to Choose
Decide which system of record you are replacing or adding to, then narrow by lender type.
- Banks re-underwriting a book: nCino if you want CRE on the same platform as your commercial lending, Moody's if covenant monitoring, early warning and refinance risk are the priority.
- Servicers and non-bank lenders: McCracken STRATEGY for a dedicated servicing and loan accounting system, Backshop if you want one system from origination through special servicing.
- Credit and surveillance teams: Trepp for depth on CMBS and bank risk models, CRED iQ for published pricing and a maturity pipeline, Lev for covenant surveillance tied to source documents.
- Debt funds: Pereview to monitor loans as investments and report on them.
- Construction lenders: Land Gorilla or Built for full construction loan administration, Rabbet if you want per-draw pricing.

How We Researched This Guide
We worked from each vendor's own website, pricing pages and product pages, checked in October 2026, and only included tools listed in this directory (nCino CRE Lending, Moody's Lending Suite for CRE, Backshop and McCracken STRATEGY were added for this guide after checking independent coverage of each company). We did not run these products on live loan books ourselves. Prices are the vendor's published rates; where a vendor does not publish prices we say so. Vendor claims about users and coverage are labeled as claims. Market figures come from the Mortgage Bankers Association, S&P Global Market Intelligence and Trepp pages listed under Sources, read at the source. Rankings reflect fit for lenders and servicers, and no vendor paid for placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much CRE debt matures in 2026 and 2027?
The Mortgage Bankers Association counts $875 billion of commercial and multifamily mortgages held by lenders and investors scheduled to mature in 2026 and $652 billion in 2027, based on balances at the end of 2025. S&P Global Market Intelligence projected a $1.26 trillion peak in 2027 back in 2024, but its later update says extensions moved the jump into 2026.
What software do CRE lenders use to track loan maturities and covenants?
Banks often use an origination and credit platform such as nCino or Moody's Lending Suite for CRE, with covenant monitoring and early warning tools. Servicers use loan servicing systems such as McCracken STRATEGY or Backshop. Debt funds track loans as investments in tools such as Pereview.
What is the difference between loan origination and loan servicing software?
Origination software covers the pipeline, underwriting, credit approval and closing. Servicing software takes over after closing: payments, escrows, loan accounting, covenant compliance, investor reporting, modifications and payoffs. A few systems, such as Backshop, span both.
How do lenders monitor CMBS refinance risk?
Through market data platforms such as Trepp and CRED iQ, which track securitized loan performance, maturities and distress, and through their own monitoring of debt yield, DSCR and extension terms on each loan.
Which construction loan software publishes pricing?
Rabbet publishes per-draw pricing for lenders: $120, $170 or $215 per draw depending on the plan. Land Gorilla and Built Technologies quote on request.
