CLAIRE FARR

Based in Bend, Oregon - Advising national clients

After more than a decade managing real estate around the world for Nike and its brands, I started Delker Real Estate as a consultative practice advising national retailers with their lease portfolios. I am an expert lease portfolio manager and work with all kinds of national clients to save money on their existing leases and stand up goals and systems to focus their energy, save money, and drive revenue.

I am gifted in retail real estate operations, portfolio management, and saving you money. In my work, you will see persistence, professional deliverables, a balance between big picture and details, and recommendations to uplevel your game.

Outside working hours, you’ll find me on the ski slopes, the mountain biking trail, or coaching t-ball.

BRANDS I’VE WORKED WITH

Shh! Some national retailers prefer my work be covert. You or someone you know is probably shopping with my other clients.

Words of Recommendation

“Claire is one of the most talented business managers I have ever worked with. She has the unique ability to read complex systems, organize critical information, and drive creative solutions that address the most important business needs. I have also seen her mentor and develop other managerial talent. Her impact on Nike North America's Direct-to-Consumer strategy and operations will be indelible...if any real estate portfolio manager, strategist, or owner could see what Claire has done at Nike, there would be no hesitation to have her on any team. To say she brings immense acumen and fire-power in the business of real estate is an understatement.”
