“Since I was a child I have always had a passion for homes and knew since I was young that this was the career path that I wanted to follow,” Duplessie said.

“The dynamics of today’s residential real estate market are constantly changing. Participating in our Success Path program has provided Bailey with the right tools to meet those changing dynamics,” said Gary Scott, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “We welcome Bailey to Long & Foster, a company that has helped local buyers and sellers reach their homeownership goals for more than 50 years.”

Duplessie is originally from Bethesda, Maryland but moved to Richmond to attend the University of Richmond after falling in love with both the campus and the city. She graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor’s degree in communications and decided to make Richmond her forever home.
