Jessica Duncan provides a unique perspective to her clients in Sarasota and Manatee Counties by blending her local roots with an extensive background as a commercial real estate paralegal. A Sarasota native, Jessica grew up in the local agricultural community on her family’s cattle ranch, where she spent her youth riding horses, racing barrels, and raising livestock for 4-H projects.

​

Jessica transitioned to real estate sales to leverage her highly technical knowledge of commercial transactions, lending, land use, and zoning. Her professional foundation is built on years of managing complex transactions, including LIHTC affordable housing financing and the development of large master-planned communities. Her legal experience allows her to offer clients expert insights into property titles, surveys, and the nuances of municipal codes and zoning regulations.

​

Her previous role as a wildfire dispatcher also gave her an intimate geographic knowledge of the roadways and landmarks throughout the region, as well as the ability to remain composed under pressure during high-stakes situations.

​

Beyond her professional life, Jessica is an active leader in the industry, currently serving as Treasurer of Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) of Sarasota/Manatee. Outside of the office, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband, Joel, and their two children, Samantha and Luke, road cycling, mountain biking, and reading.
