Duane Desilets

A Steady Hand in an Ever-Changing Market

Since 2006, local real estate agent Duane Desilets has been a trusted name in home buying and selling. In a market that’s always evolving, Duane has remained a consistent force—thanks to his experience, calmness under pressure, and a genuine commitment to helping people.

Prior to real estate, Duane served from 1999 to 2005 as an Airman right here at the 104th Fighter Wing. As part of the base's fire and crash rescue team, he learned how to stay focused in high-stress situations, assess complex challenges quickly, and act decisively when it matters most. Those same skills serve him well today—whether he’s navigating negotiations, solving last-minute issues, or guiding clients through tough decisions, Duane brings clarity and calm to every transaction.

When asked what drives him in real estate, Duane said:
“Helping people find the right home is about more than square footage and property lines, it’s about helping them step into the next chapter of their lives. My 'why' is simple: I love being part of that moment when everything clicks. Whether it’s a first-time buyer or a family upsizing to make room for new memories, it’s incredibly rewarding to guide people through one of the biggest decisions of their lives.”

Duane specializes in residential real estate, working with everyone from first-time buyers to growing families and empty nesters. He also partners with investors, understanding the need for a results-driven approach when it comes to multi-family and income-producing properties. No matter the goal, Duane stays focused on what matters most—his clients.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, or exploring real estate as an investment, Duane Desilets of eXp Realty is someone you’ll want on your side.
