Fort Wayne Rising Real Estate Star Duane Miller
I hate to say it but it’s true: Real estate offices (with a few outstanding exceptions) are just pretty darned impersonal, functional places. Heck, let’s just say it: They’re BORING! But NOT Duane Miller’s out at the Coventry office of Coldwell Banker Roth Wehrly Graber!
DIFFERENT IS GOOD – Just ask Duane. He’s taken the Fort Wayne real estate market by storm, finding himself in the top 10% of Indiana Realtors within his first 12 months in business – a task absolutely unheard of in such a short period of time.
“That’ll never work here!” was a favorite refrain from the ”old timers” back in my real estate days at Charleston Better Homes & Gardens. It seemed back then that the majority of Realtors would fight every single attempt at differentiation. It was as though they didn’t have the energy or boldness to try something new 
themselves, and therefore, rather than encouraging me they would let me know ‘That’ll never work here.” I didn’t let that dissuade me from become the “South Side Specialist.” It didn’t dissuade me from running a fun, tongue-in-cheek TV campaign where I ran for “Fort Wayne’s Favorite Realtor” during the political campaigns.
I’d bet there was a whole lot of grumbling when Duane began bringing in modern Scandinavian furniture and dramatic lighting. And when he brought in 3 monitors and painted the walls (***gasp***) mustard, I would bet my rental houses that the words “That’ll never work here!” were expelled by at least a few die-hard old-timers! LOL.
To that I say “Congratulations, Duane! It can work. It will work. And it DID work.” See you at the top.
