John Duke

Earning his real estate license in 2006, John Duke has “been there and done that.” Born in Austin and raised in Liberty Hill, he earned a B.A. in Environmental Science from Concordia University at Austin, where he met his wife of 27 years, Meredith. With a varied background of digging ditches as a teen to lifeguarding as a college student, owning a landscaping company, and building his own home, Johnny has done a little bit of everything, which gives him a well-rounded experience when working with his clients.

You might even say that Johnny had an interesting introduction to buying and selling at an early age. Although not common at all these days, Johnny and his family were trappers when he was still a young boy. He learned the art of negotiation when selling the furs and that skill stayed with him (and has been honed) over the years.

Johnny earned his broker’s license in 2020 and launched Duke Realty in January 2021, right in the middle of the pandemic.

In a nutshell, Johnny’s passions are God, family, hunting, and specifically hog hunting. He also is a thermal scope dealer with Bering Optics, hog hunts regularly, often taking his clients on hunts.
