How Aja Duke Built a Real Estate Business on a 110,000-Follower Lifestyle Brand

The Fort Lauderdale Realtor with Douglas Elliman runs two audiences, one for the life and one for the listings, and in 2025 put her business into a company of her own.

2 min read

Aja Duke is a Realtor with Douglas Elliman in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and a lifestyle creator whose main Instagram, @loveeaja, has about 110,000 followers. Her real estate career began in Metro Atlanta in 2017, and today she sells in Broward County from Elliman's office on Las Olas Boulevard.

Two audiences, two accounts

The lifestyle account is the big one: verified, posting most weeks, with story highlights for real estate, Luxe Life, wellness, collabs and events, and trips to Dubai, Italy and Madrid. Her bio sums it up as lifestyle, luxury real estate and local gems. The listings live on a second, smaller account, @sellingwithaja, with about 1,450 followers, and another 18,000 or so follow her on Threads.

Feedspot ranks her first in its 2026 list of the top 67 Fort Lauderdale real estate influencers.

The sales, plainly

Her Elliman page lists three closed sales, all in Broward County: a two-bedroom home in Margate at $370,000, a three-bedroom townhouse in Lauderhill at $394,000 and a three-bedroom home in Fort Lauderdale at $225,000.

A company of her own

In April 2025 she filed AJA DUKE, P.A., a Florida profit corporation with Zieaja Duke as president, and its 2026 annual report is on file. Her background is built for the marketing side of the job: a bachelor's degree in public relations and more than 10 years in sales, marketing and customer service.

The lesson worth keeping

Keep the audience and the business distinct. Duke's lifestyle account builds the reach, a separate account carries the listings, and a corporation of her own holds the business.
