SAVE BIG ON CO-TENANCY RIGHTS.
LEVEL UP YOUR LEASE ADMIN.
WHO I AM + WHAT I DO
Based in Bend, Oregon and partnering with national retailers.
After more than a decade managing real estate around the world for Nike and its brands, I started Delker Real Estate in 2021 to advise national retailers with their lease portfolios. Since then, I’ve worked with 10+ national clients in auto, food & beverage, footwear, apparel, and vet care.
I am an expert lease portfolio manager and work with all kinds of lease admin teams for national clients.
We stand up goals and systems to focus team resources, save money, and drive revenue.
Together, we will implement best practices in lease admin operations, portfolio management, and saving money. In my work, you will see persistence, professional deliverables, a balance between big picture and details, and actionable recommendations for your team.

WHY WE SHOULD PARTNER
CO-TENANCY AUDITING
Most co-tenancy violations aren't found during bankruptcies or mass store closings. They're found in the nitty-gritty tracking of small shop and mom-and-pop closures. In fact, more than half of the violations I find are "small shop" violations, tied to overall mall occupancy levels rather than anchor closures. The malls quietly hovering on the brink of failure hold the most opportunity, and they're the hardest to track.
If you're only auditing when you hear something's wrong, or only tracking bankruptcies, you're leaving money on the table.
My experience and tools find the opportunities your team doesn't have the bandwidth to chase down.
LEASE ADMIN OPERATIONS
I've been there. I've led lease admin teams myself, and I know what it's like to be asked to do more with less. It's possible. I've done it.
I stay connected to the industry through ICSC, the National Retail Tenants Association, and my own network, so I know what the best teams are doing and can tailor it for yours.
That includes technology. I've worked hands-on with lease abstraction databases and AI tools that catch what a person might miss. But systems alone don't run a team well; people do, and I build for both.
I'm ready to be your thought partner for the next chapter.
