I am the kind of person that enjoys watching people that are phenomenal at what they do. It can be any field. One of the first experts I saw and studied was the Valley View Elementary principal, Jennifer Dusek. Another was actually Crockett's orthodontist, Kunik. Watching these people operate at incredibly high levels was mesmerizing for me, the fly on the wall. And I knew when Dodge announced his retirement that I had one season to watch the man in action

Big welcome to Kelly Cloud and Kate Rhodes. This is more than adding Brokers to our Company Roster - this is DeLea putting her money where her mouth is. …..

Carrie Bobb is my HERO :

#1 - I love this person. She is my Hero.

#2 - What the What? What kind of man goes to all this crazy PREMEDIATED EFFORT to do this? And then to the company doesn’t quickly Do The Right Thing?

#3 - This is Horse Shit and I am pissed.

#4 - I’ve got to go create a place that is safe for Women in Commercial Real Estate Brokerage. Not only in my Company Policy & Employee/Contractor Agreements but boots on the ground. I need to hire women, seek them out, give them a safe place at Beck-Reit. Safe from that horse shit. Women have enough to deal with keeping themselves safe from harm, they shouldn’t have to worry about it coming from their bosses. I can’t save all the women, but I can take it one “Woman Hire At a Time”.

Advertising Sales Executive

We are looking for a successful, motivated, self-starting sales executive to join our team.

The ideal candidate must be a quick learner, computer savvy, with superb verbal and written communication skills & have a minimum of 2 years of outside sales experience.

It started when DeLea and Mark met for the 1st time for breakfast at Chumikals in 2017 (a favorite East Austin Joint for both) and the breakfast stretched into lunch. A couple of days later the property was toured and under contract - the rest is Award-Winning History!

The inspiring architects at Dick Clark & Associates have been rightfully recognized for their incredible office design at 2120 E 7th St - winning the Austin Business Journal’s 2021 CRE award for Best Office Rehab.

Originally an 80s pawnshop, 2120 E 7th was built like a concrete bunker with just one window and no insulation or even air conditioning for most of the space. DCA’s ground up design and construction has transformed the site into an eye-catching functional space perfect for creative office and retail needs.

Beck-Reit’s Previous Office Will Be Razed for Mixed-Use Development

Beck-Reit & Sons Construction performed a gut renovation at 2131 Theo between 2014-2016, an adaptive reuse project that turned the aging auto repair shop into a 5-unit creative office space with shared conference room, kitchen, and lobby. The finished project was managed by Beck-Reit Asset Management and leased by Beck-Reit Commercial Real Estate until 2020, when the developers came knocking with an offer we couldn’t refuse.

East Austin:

In many ways, development has displaced the cultural arts traditions of East Austin, long the home of the city’s Black community. Now, its champions — Black artists, creatives and community leaders — are working to restore that soul.

Capitol View Arts and the Austin Justice Coalition, with support from local artists and dozens of volunteers from the Austin area, painted a ‘Black Artists Matter’ mural on East 11th Street the morning of Thursday, June 18 2021. #BlackArtistMatter

REDNews has been the first word in Texas Commercial Real Estate for over 25 years now. Their Summits brings together dozens of experts to speak on the “State of the Market” in their view. This year’s Summit will take place on June 23rd in Austin!

Her panel starts at 10:25AM. The Retail Market Panel will also include the following market experts:

Beck-Reit is Always Proud to Sponsor the REDNews Annual Summit! DeLea is joined by other panelist from

• Endeavor Real Estate Group

Ann Richards is my idol + 45th Governor of Texas. Shortly before I moved to the Capitol of Texas in 1993 Ann Richards had become the Governor of Texas. It is a big deal when any Woman reaches a Position Of Power, it is an enormously BIG DEAL when a Woman takes the most Powerful Seat in a Red State that has long been run by men.

We are so proud of all 12 participants in the 2021 Austin UCREW Women in Commercial Real Estate Challenge Winners!

Every year Austin’s CREW puts on this educational event to help expose female students at local universities to the possibilities of a career in Commercial Real Estate. This past year, Beck-Reit Commercial took part in the event as a committee member, wearing one of the 5 hats for “anatomy of the deal” from a developer’s perspective, & mentoring one of the competitors.

Jim Rourke

Jim joined Beck-Reit at the early onset of Pandemic in 2020, and quickly put together a prominent assemblage play of 4 properties on South Lamar.

6 years ago, Beck-Reit sold one of our mixed-use propertys in East Austin and did a 1031 exchange into 2 properties. 1 was a Ferrari Repair Shop on Theo Dr. off Airport Blvd near The Mueller Development. Our full redevelopment transformed the space into 5 unique creative office spaces with a shared kitchen common area and conference room. Now, just 6 years later, the property has been picked up by Cumby Development as the last piece of a new multi-family development getting ready to break ground.

The Face of Commercial Real Estate
DeLea Becker, Owner + Broker

East Austin is forever the heart and soul of Austin. The history, community, and culture of the area have forever impacted Austin for the better. This creative culture is what draws people in today: to live, work, play, and stay.
