Duke Brothers

Hello and welcome to the first Duke Brothers post! My name is Lisa Duke and I am married to Steve, Vice President of the company. His Dad, Tom, is the president and here's a little bit about us:

Tom Duke

Born and raised in the Nashville area, Tom Duke has had many adventures in his life.

He has been in the air force, sold Electrolux vacuums, and been a banker. From Tennessee to Texas to California, Mr. Duke would eventually find himself in Atlanta before the move to High Point where he has lived for more than 30 years.

Mr. Duke made the decision to begin building on the land around 1988. Starting a construction company focused on new homes, he would subcontract most of the work until Steve came to work for him in the early 90s. He continues to live in the lovely, early 20^th century farm house on the top of the hill, but is now surrounded by several dozen single-family homes, most of which his company constructed.

In his spare time, Tom enjoys music including dancing and playing the sax.

Steve Duke

With a light Southern drawl, Steve still jokes he is from California, having been born in Los Angeles County. His early childhood spent in Atlanta, he has lived most of his life in High Point on the 70 original acres Tom purchased off Gordon Road.

After high school, Steve learned the trades of a home builder including framing, brick masonry, landscape grading, and drafting. Joining his dad in the early 1990s, they would soon be managing all the construction on Quail Run Farm.

Steve enjoys playing drums, riding horses, home-winemaking, and traveling to his mother’s native England every few years to visit extended family.

Lisa Duke

A Jersey girl at heart, Lisa has lived in the Triad since 1990. After working in the advertising and marketing field for nearly eight years, she attended graduate school to study geography. When the aerial photography firm with whom she was working decided to close their North Carolina office in 2004, Mrs. Duke found herself at a career crossroads.

Since Duke Brothers would need help with their growth, Lisa obtained her real estate license in 2005 and is a new home sales specialist. She started her own company under the name Point of Beginning.

Lisa met Steve in 2001 when she had trouble with the crown molding in her dining room. They married in 2003. Mrs. Duke enjoys salsa dancing, learning about wine, and writing.
