The reputation of this family owned business has been built on a portfolio of transactions that result in long term relationships and referrals. In 2017, Duckworth Properties Sales Professionals had another astronomical year, having sold over $96 million in sales with a combined 533 transactions.
Through her commitment to excellence and personal service, LeAnn is known as a highly regarded Realtor in the Golden Isles. Voted Best Agent of 2014 and 2017 by Elegant Island Living, she has also held a Circle of Excellence status since 2001. Over the past 18 years, LeAnn has gained an extensive amount of knowledge through her successful sales, developments, and investments. In 2017, LeAnn personally sold over $29 million and had more than 190 transactions. With her knowledge, you are sure to have all the resources and expertise to market your home effectively and gain the most exposure. LeAnn doesn't work in the name of listings, showings, contracts, or closings; She works in the name of SERVICE for those she employs and for those that employ her.
LeAnn believes a true success of an agent isn't measured in numbers, it is measured in time and service of others. LeAnn started her own company over 12 years ago and has established her practice to be one of the most prestigious, female-owned companies in Glynn County. But don’t think that LeAnn sits in a chariot while her employees pull her around, she is the lead horse showing them the way, both ethically and dutifully. A good leader isn't defined by what they say; they are defined by what they do. As for her leadership, LeAnn will ask you to run 5 miles only if she has just finished running 10. In her spare time, LeAnn enjoys taking in refugee animals and strays at her farm. She currently has injured deer that she has nurtured back to health and they have remained her "deer" fur-babies.
Hannah was born, raised and has lived here in the Golden Isles for over 30 years. At the age of 18, Hannah acquired her Georgia real estate license and obtained her Georgia Broker’s license at the young age of 21. Upon graduating from Georgia Southern University in 2009, with a Bachelor’s in Business Management & Finance, she began her career in real estate with Duckworth Properties. Hannah’s background in finance along with her superior knowledge of the local market makes her a single point of contact for all your home buying needs. Hannah is a top producing agent within the firm maintaining a ranking within the industry and surpassing quotas. While securing her own buyers and sellers, Hannah also acts as the firm's Rental Property Manager, Bookkeeper, and Advertising Executive. In 2017, she reached over $9.6 million in sales! When Hannah is not working with buyers and sellers to find their next dream home, you can find her with family and friends enjoying the outdoors!

The Duckworth Properties mother-daughter duo
Although they are a small company, the Duckworth Properties professionals carry their weight. With 17 Sales Associates, LeAnn and her staff are dedicated to listening to your needs and to serving you with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. LeAnn reminds her sales team daily that “Success is a mixture of having a flair and passion for hard work and a sense of purpose.”
Reliability is a cornerstone of the firm’s foundation. Built on the principles of trust and honesty, Duckworth Properties emphasizes the importance of having the integrity to do the right thing, always considering the client’s needs to be paramount. LeAnn firmly believes that Duckworth Properties’ success is ultimately determined by the legacy they leave with each client they serve. She says, “We pledge to always give clients our best effort. Our goal is to make every real estate transaction a rewarding experience for our clients.”
The Longs can attest that LeAnn herself meets that goal, saying, “Without question, LeAnn is the most capable and professional realtor we’ve ever worked with. No wonder her sales records are off the charts! She will get back to you immediately, handles your sale or purchase as if it were her own, and covers all the bases. Working with LeAnn, you'll get a realistic appraisal of your property, and you'll receive timely communications on the activity associated with the property. In addition, she's extremely pleasant, a delight to be with, and makes you feel like a friend as well as a client. LOVED this opportunity to work with her and Duckworth Properties.”
And Hannah’s rave review from the Jordans is no less impressive:
“We just recently moved to St. Simons Island from Columbia, SC and had the pleasure (and I sincerely mean pleasure) of working with Hannah Melton as our agent. I honestly believe we couldn't have been luckier to have stumbled upon her (well, we didn't actually just STUMBLE upon her - we chose her based on her outstanding track record and experience). Coming from someone who is maybe just a little OCD and type A, my saying that Hannah was so ridiculously impressive is an understatement. She seriously made me feel like I was her only client, and paid such acute attention to my every question and concern throughout the entire process (which face it, can be daunting when purchasing a new property) that she took so much of the anxiety out of the process as a whole. I've never had texts returned to me so quickly in my life (and at all hours)! She has such a vast knowledge of the area (she grew up here!), home layouts, potential pitfalls, and even "do's and don'ts" during the inspection process, not to mention she had a recommendation for EVERY kind of professional required during the buying process (and each one of them was excellent too - which even further reflects positively on her!). Hannah seriously is a master of her craft, and to say I would HIGHLY recommend her without reservation to any and every person looking to purchase a new home in her network is, again, an incredible understatement.”
Whether your move is across the street, the state, or the country, Duckworth Properties Sales Agents are ready and willing to help you unlock your dreams and the doors to your new home.
