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.

“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”

See Below for an Overview of the last 6-months at Beck-Reit Commercial Real Estate, and Scroll to the Bottom for DeLea’s Notes and Takeaways from Rednews' Recent AUSTIN RETAIL FORECAST PANEL

DeLea attended her first CREi Summit last year and was blown away by the people, synergy, and abundance of shared ‘secrets’ to building a social media brand. She took tons of notes and applied much of what she learned throughout the year. How’d she do? Well, DeLea made the list just as she planned. Not only did she make the list but she ranked 26 out of 150… a nice baseline when she’s set on reaching #1. The list is packed with 150 Power House Commercial Experts across the USA - they are at the top of their game.

This is not DeLea’s first rodeo, she has sat on the Red News Forecast Retail panel before. This is her 3-peat performance and the 1st time was the day before the pandemic shut down the world and she recalls an uncommon prediction that was in line with the outcome. Read about it in her blog below. You won’t want to miss DeLea talk about retail numbers, strategies, adaptive reuse, e-commerce impact, and trend analysis predictions.

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”.
