From public relations to Las Olas
Duke came to real estate with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations and more than 10 years in sales, marketing and customer service. She started selling homes in Metro Atlanta in 2017, and has built her business since on creativity, negotiation and close attention to each client.
She brings an eye for beauty, design and art to every property, helping clients picture what a space could become, and she leans on constant communication and strategies shaped around each client's goals.
The neighborhood is the product
Much of her approach happens outside the front door. She makes a point of sharing her picks among the neighborhoods, the "hidden gems" and the particular vibe of each community, so that buyers can feel at home well before moving day.
Whether a client is buying, selling or investing, the goal she names is the same: to "move with confidence" and land somewhere that reflects who they are.
