Are you considering a switch from Residential Real Estate Agent to Commercial Real Estate Agent? We are often asked this question, especially during an economic downturn. So our Founder DeLea Becker has compiled advice, tips, and tricks she has given out for over a decade to residential agents asking for transition advice.

Beck-Reit is no stranger to 1031 exchanges. In fact, you may call us the 1031 experts. In 2022 we closed two 1031 exchanges, and have never failed. The rigorous timeline to identify a property to purchase before Uncle Sam tries to swoop in and grab his “share” can be intimidating for most, but our meticulous process makes every one of those 45 days of the identification period count.

The Mann Report publication wrote an inspiring article geared towards to importance of bringing owners into CRE. It’s no surprise that Beck-Reit’s own DeLea Becker was top of mind on this topic, as bringing more women into Commercial Real Estate is probably her favorite passion project.

Bisnow hosted its very first Inaugural Women Leading Real Estate Awards featuring their inaugural class of Austin Trailblazers including Beck-Reit’s very own DeLea Becker. These accomplished women discussed everything from previous careers, recessions, and attempting to maintain a work-life balance.

According to research by BiggerPockets, women represent less than 2% of commercial real estate investors. This figure is surprising given that more women own and manage their own businesses today than ever before. Commercial real estate is an asset class that offers tremendous potential for growth, especially when you consider the current market conditions. However, most women are not investing in commercial real estate for one main reason: lack of knowledge about how it works and how they can get started investing. But this isn't true for Women In Commercial Real Estate. For Women in our profession, investing is squarely in our Circle of Competence.

There is potential to create $1 trillion dollars of value for women in commercial real estate by 2025 if we start investing like men. It's a $3.5 trillion dollar industry, and it's the largest one in the world.

We acquired 4403 W Commerce in December of 2020 after selling 2707 Rogge Lane. The Rogge property was an East Side shopping center near the Mueller that required a gut renovation. We had it leased up and were working through our redevelopment plans when Austin’s growth out-paced us and a bigger fish came with an offer we couldn’t refuse.

Similar to our 8808 Barker Cypress acquisition, we felt like we could sell high in the Austin market and move our gains into a safe and stable NNN investment elsewhere.

“I like money. I do, I like numbers, I like negotiating, I like the challenge of turning a no into a yes. I really do like money. I like knowing I have it, I grew up in a house where there was never enough. Raised by a single mom OnlyParent. Not going to sit here and tell you I only do what I do to take care of other people. Because it is OK to do it for ourselves. For how it makes us feel. Secure - yeah. Powerful - Absolutely. I am so glad that it is finally acceptable for women to talk about AMBITION openly. But don’t let money be a dirty word. We can like that too”
