Beck-Reit is proud to be involved with UCREW, mentoring women interested in Commercial Real Estate careers. CREW Austin is offering $5,500 in scholarships and five (5) student memberships to women attending local universities.

2020 & 2021 = Epic, Challenging, Chaotic, Booming Market & Money to Spend

2022 is a New Year, but the writing on the wall shows we are in for more of the same, particularly if you are in the Commercial Real Estate industry. There is more liquid money in the market than ever before. People are eager to Make Money and Invest Money to Protect Wealth. At Beck-Reit we could work 24/7 but to perform and be at “Top Of Our Game” we need to “Slow Down to Speed Up”.

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”.

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.
