Kelley Commercial Partners Adds New Shareholder Partner

Posted on 02/04/22

Kelley Commercial Partners is pleased to announce the appointment of our newest shareholder partner, Kaley Tucker. She will be joining existing partners Hank Kelley, Daryl Peeples, Maggie Hogan, Nick Kelley, Brooke Miller, Jessi Miller, Kevin Pledger, Gary Smith, Eric Varner, and Cheryl White.

“I knew Kaley was coming to the firm with a solid education and strong work ethic, but she has exceeded every expectation. Her professionalism makes her a joy to work with for team members, clients, and customers. I am excited to see what the future holds for Kaley at Kelley Commercial Partners and honored to be her partner,” said Daryl Peeples, president.

Tucker began her career at the firm nearly 7 years ago, just weeks after graduating from Ouachita Baptist University. She started as an assistant property manager and was promoted to a manager role in 2019. Tucker manages some of Little Rock’s largest Class A properties, including Simmons Tower, and several high-rise Property Owner’s Associations. She coordinates overall management, leasing activities, construction management, and financial oversight for more than 1.3 million square feet of property across central Arkansas.

“I had never considered a career in real estate and was certain I was headed down the CPA path after graduation, but I have grown to love what I do and the people I get to work with every day,” said Tucker.

In October 2021, Tucker completed her RPA® (Real Property Administrator) designation through BOMI. Only property managers with a minimum of three years of experience are eligible for the program. Tucker completed the coursework in less than two years and says she gained a more in-depth knowledge of every aspect of managing a commercial property successfully.

Tucker attributes her success in the company to the close-knit team. “I truly could not do what I do each day without my associates, Alex [Graham] and Abby [Turner], and the mentorship I have in Eric [Varner], Maggie [Hogan], Hank [Kelley] and Daryl [Peeples] as well as the support from my husband, Curt. Any property manager will tell you that not every day is sunshine and rainbows. There are some really hard days, but those are the days that I learn the most,” said Tucker.

Tucker is a member of BOMA GLR and is involved in her church, Immanuel Baptist Church. She and her husband have a feisty little red-headed toddler named Tessa.

Landlord representation is just one aspect of the full range of brokerage services provided by our agents at Kelley Commercial Partners. Landlords, property owners, and investors in the know utilize our services to gain a better understanding of the market and, armed with the expertise and knowledge our agents provide, optimize the return on their investments. “We help property owners make informed decisions by strategically positioning their property in the market to achieve the best results,” said Daryl Peeples, president and partner at KCP.

“We help property owners make informed decisions by strategically positioning their property in the market to achieve the best results,” said Daryl Peeples, president and partner at KCP.

The first step in our process is evaluating your property and understanding your unique goals. After a tour of the property, agents will perform a thorough market analysis, make recommendations for any improvements or repairs, discuss competitive lease rates, current occupancy rates, and identify all possible tenants. This knowledge builds the foundation of our next step: an effective marketing plan.

Marketing your property through Kelley Commercial Partners includes high-quality photography, prominent signage, a property brochure, and exposure on our website and the nation’s leading commercial real estate search engines including Costar and Crexi. For retail property owners, we have a direct connection to a large network of retail partners across the country through our exclusive membership in ChainLinks Retail Advisors. Additional digital marketing includes regularly scheduled email campaigns sent to targeted lists of prospects as well as social media posts to our growing number of followers. Throughout the marketing process, agents keep you informed with open lines of communication and they are available at any time to address questions or concerns.

With a marketing plan in place, the real work for you and your property begins. Agents begin prospecting the most viable leads, conduct showings, screen prospects, negotiate rates, draft lease agreements, and perform all due diligence involved in the leasing process.

Even for the experienced landlord, leasing a property can be a time-consuming process and finding the ideal tenant can be a challenge. With our agents on your side, you can rest assured that we are committed to our fiduciary responsibility to you and we will work to serve your best interests.

Kelley Commercial Partners rebrands and looks forward

Posted on 07/23/20

We recently sat down the Daily Record to talk about Kelley Commercial Partners’ recent rebranding efforts and how excited we are about the future of the firm. CEO and executive broker of KCP, Hank Kelley, emphasized that while our name has changed, the company will continue to operate much in the same way it has for the better part of three decades. Most of the firm’s current partners have been in place for several years, and in order to underscore the value of their knowledge, experience, and hard work, Kelley wanted to include the word “partners” in our new name.

And before the ink could dry on our new business cards, an unexpected global pandemic hit and we knew our clients and tenants needed our support more than ever. Property managers and brokers worked closely with tenants to help them understand the process and red tape involved in obtaining state and federal assistance, while our facilities team helped to ensure the health and safety of the occupants in more than 7.4 million square feet of property managed by our firm. Kelley Commercial Partners has also been involved in negotiations that will bring Costco and Amazon to Little Rock.

All in all, it’s been a challenging year for everyone, but Kelley Commercial Partners still sees a bright future for Arkansas and we will continue to serve our community for decades to come.
