Door-to-door real estate sales is about truly listening to homeowners’ needs and helping them achieve their goals. We are thrilled to welcome Duane and his team to Real and look forward to supporting their continued growth and success,” Real President Sharran Srivatsaa said.

In addition to leading his team and coaching agents throughout the country on the door-to-door real estate sales approach, Richins sold homes valued at $24 million from repeat clients and referrals in 2023.
