About John Ducey

I got my real estate license in March 2006. I got in when a lot of other people were getting in. The market was hot, and I was looking for a career change.  (And I’m proud to say I’m still in, when many now are not.) I have always had an interest in real estate, and people homes in general. Where someone lives–what tastes they have– it says so much about someone.

Prior to that I was the bell-captain at the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in Manhattan for ten years. This was a great job, and I had a lot of fun. I got to see quite a few celebrities and rub elbows with the who’s who of the Manhattan social scene in the nineties. I have some stories that would make your curl. It was never boring, and like I said it was a lot of fun.

As you can imagine, that job was very service oriented, and I learned a lot about people during that decade. These are lessons that I was not sure would help me in selling homes, but finding someone a last minute table at Le Bernardin is not all that different than finding that perfect lakefront cabin!

When it comes down to it, it is about people. Assisting buyers and sellers is really a people business. All the tasks involved in a transaction, be it marketing, negotiating, touring,  or even the paperwork, it boils down to people.  And people intrigue me. That is why I love this business so much.

I get to meet new and interesting people on a daily basis, and assist them through a sometimes happy, sometimes an uneasy, but always an interesting phase in their lives. For most people buying or selling a piece of real estate is often the largest purchase they have made up to this point. What can be more exciting but nerve wracking than that?

Even when I was at the Waldorf ( although I had a shift) it rarely felt like a job. And to me real estate is the same way. It is what I do for a living, but it is not a “job”. I bounced around a bit to a few different agencies, before deciding on Keller Williams. I have included some info on Keller Williams below. I chose to become a broker for this company for one reason. They are the best.

My main office is in Orange County, over an hour from where I live, (and sell real estate.) Therefore I am rarely at the office. I have a home office I work from, and I will meet clients at their house, or at a pre determined spot. It works well. In this day and age there really is no reason to have a “brick and mortar” office. Right now  I am a one man band. (My wife helps with clerical stuff when I get super busy.) She is much more organized than me. I wish I could hire her full time, but believe me I couldn’t afford her! However if things stay as busy as they have been. I plan on taking on some help fairly soon.

In terms of reaching me, my contact info is splashed all over this site, but I will include it again below. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

About Keller Williams

Keller Williams Realty is the largest real estate company in the United States with 700 offices, and over 90,000 agents. Founded in 1983 by Gary Keller, and Joe Williams, Keller Williams quickly grew and has now overtaken all other companies, and has become the benchmark in the real estate industry.

The first office was in Austin Texas, and was founded just as the crash of the 19080’s was looming. However Gary Keller took it on the chin, and throughout the downtime, as other offices where shuttering, he tried to figure out how to do things differently.

His answer was agents. Take care of the agents like no other company is doing. Instead of viewing agents as employees who work for the company, view the company as working for the agents. Although brand messaging is important, Keller realized that people were more important. Grow the business through people. That is the key to advertising.

And that is the simple vision that has been the catalyst behind unprecedented growth over the last thirty years. KW became a franchise in 1991, and has exploded.

KW shares the latest cutting edge technologies with its agents as well.  Whether it be marketing, recruiting or building your sphere of influence, the online tools that Keller Williams gives each of its agents, makes it so much easier to get the job done, and is head and shoulders above its nearest competition.

Each agent is equipped with their own website (Eedge),  as well as a mobile site so buyers can easily search for listings on their tablet or phone.

Below is a video from co-founder of Keller Williams, Gary Keller speaking about the history of this great company.

Fair Housing Notice
Standard Operating Procedure

I can’t recommend John enough. Selling my home couldn’t have been easier. In a market that was challenging, John found a buyer. I had my home with another broker for over a year!

Janet Yardley

I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. Someone who knew the market inside and out and was not only able to find a great new home at the best possible price, but also was able to market and sell my old home over and above the market value – and in record

Crystal Robinson

My wife and I worked with John to purchase our first country home and really can’t say enough good things about him. He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with his time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of 3 years). He answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with John made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend him.

Consantine Lambris

John is very knowledgeable, dedicated and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

Melissa Kubenik

We recently purchase a vacation home in upstate NY through John. During the duration of looking for homes and then finally closing, John was amazing. We were not from the area so John was on top of pointing us in the right direction. I firmly believe that without John we would have never found the property that we purchased. I would highly recommend John to anyone! In the next few weeks I will be working with John to sell another property that we own. From the moment you meet John you will see that he is professional, caring, and is on top of his work. I never had to wait more then a few minutes for a return phone call, email, or text message. It was nice working with John who cared more about us and that we were happy, then just making a quick sale.

Kevin Woods

It was a pleasure dealing with John Ducey. We had a home on the market for almost 2 years without any verifiable offers and that became depressing considering we were pulling two mortgages. Met with John who ran some options for us and worked diligently to resolve any issue that would show up. This was greatly appreciated as his work did ease the stress on my health issues. John is easy to talk to and most important, he quickly returns calls and messages.

Both myself and my other half highly recommend Johns real-estate knowledge to anyone.

Bill Nery

John just listed and sold my house in Callicoon. He was patient and very professional through the whole process. Highly recommended for anyone looking to sell.
