Duke Warner Realty Celebrates 55 Years

Duke Warner Realty was established in 1967 by Duke and Kitty Warner. Their philosophy was to establish a first-rate real estate company sensitive to their customer’s needs. Because of this, they worked very hard to be upstanding community members with an upstanding business. They believed if they treated their customers fair, they would keep coming back and bring new customers with them.

That is exactly what happened!

A little history

Initially, Duke Warner was a small family-owned operation that was located on Third Street. However, in 1992, they acquired the property on Newport Avenue and built the office they currently work out of. Additionally, the Duke Warner staff has grown considerably since building the new property adding new realtors and more.

Originally, when early Central Oregon was less developed, they specialized in bare land, farms, and ranches.  However, as the population increased, the business included more and more residential properties. Today, Duke Warner Realty represents a good mix of nearly every property type on the market.

Duke Warner Realty Family

Over the years, Kitty and Duke contributed considerable time and energy to the Central Oregon Association of Realtors. In fact, this is a tradition the younger crowd is carrying on today! Many Duke Warner brokers are involved in various charitable organizations in the community. In addition, Duke Warner Realty is still an independent brokerage, and not associated with a franchise.

The next 55 years!

Today, the firm is widely-known for its personalized service and reliability. Actually, unlike many real estate firms, Duke Warner Realty has little turnover in personnel. In fact, years after a transaction is complete, a client, their relative or friend can return knowing that he or she will find the same personal care – and most likely, the same Bend broker.

With this kind of reputation, Duke Warner Realty’s success has endured through good times and bad. The company is here to stay, and its Bend brokers are interested and actively involved in our wonderful community!

In conclusion, thank you for celebrating 55 years with us!
