“Multifamily remains the anchor of commercial real estate lending and for 2026 we are seeing that continue with both the volume and sizes of loans growing. That tells us that larger, more complex deals are coming back and that is exactly where manual and traditional document preparation tools let lenders down,” said Adam Craig, CEO, GoDocs. “The banks and credit unions positioned to take advantage of the lending recovery will be the ones that prioritize modernizing the entire commercial lending workflow so that the complexity of loans doesn’t slow them down.”
