Drake leads 1440’s Tulsa expansion after building one of the most efficient, agent-first real estate media operations in Northwest Arkansas — all while operating remotely from New York City, where he most recently worked as a licensed agent at one of the fastest-growing brokerages in the country.

A Rogers native and University of Arkansas finance graduate, Drake closed 315+ residential transactions and over $85M in volume in Arkansas before launching 1440, ranking Top 20 nationally at eXp Realty. His background spans high-volume sales, CPG supply-chain supporting Walmart, real estate development, and operational leadership. That range gives him a rare, ground-level understanding of what actually moves a listing — and what’s just noise.

Drake’s philosophy is simple: the industry is evolving, but the fundamentals still matter. While most media companies chase trends, he focuses on the essentials — clean, consistent photography; accurate storytelling; fast delivery; and pricing that respects an agent’s margins. Every agent deserves a professional, dependable base package that works, with add-ons that truly add value instead of simply padding an order.

A 2025 Boston Marathon finisher, Drake brings the same discipline and long-term consistency to 1440: no shortcuts, no excuses, just relentless execution.

Above all, he’s the person who picks up the phone when an agent calls. Real estate is a relationship business — he treats it that way.

In Tulsa, Drake brings that same standard: media that commands attention, elevates agent brands, and helps listings sell faster without unnecessary cost or complexity — agent-aligned, data-driven, and built for the modern market.

Preston is a key partner at 1440 Real Estate Media and leads our Northwest Arkansas market with a level of consistency and care that has become core to our brand. What separates Preston is his relentless work ethic, his “get it done” mentality, and the genuine warmth he brings to every client relationship. He’s the guy agents trust — the one who shows up, solves problems, and makes the entire experience seamless.

Raised in Northwest Arkansas and deeply connected to the community, Preston is a graduate of Har-Ber High School, where he was a multi-sport athlete, and later attended Arkansas Tech University to study marketing and business. His background gives him a grounded understanding of the culture, people, and pace of NWA — and his long-term family ties make him fully invested in the growth of the region.

Before stepping into his leadership role at 1440, Preston gained valuable experience growing a regional whiskey brand, where he learned brand building, sales strategy, and relationship-driven marketing. That experience sharpened the customer-first approach he’s known for today.

Preston’s sharp attention to detail and product obsession push our team forward, helping 1440 iterate, innovate, and continually raise the bar on quality. He ensures every NWA project not only meets our standards, but feels personal, intentional, and aligned with the high expectations of the agents we serve.

Julie oversees all operations at 1440 Real Estate Media, ensuring the company can scale efficiently across multiple markets without ever losing speed, consistency, or customer experience. She builds and manages the systems that keep the entire business running — scheduling workflows, editor coordination, client communication, delivery pipelines, contractor management, SOP creation, software implementation, and the day-to-day operational discipline that allows 1440 to grow while staying seamless for agents.

Before joining 1440, Julie worked in real estate transaction management, giving her firsthand experience in the timelines, documents, pressures, and expectations agents face behind the scenes. She also brings a strong foundation in real estate finance, helping her understand exactly how media ties into pricing strategy, listing performance, and a brokerage’s marketing ROI.

Her career began in digital marketing for a major hotel brand, where she developed an eye for brand consistency, customer experience, and polished presentation skills she now applies to every piece of media 1440 delivers. Originally from the Dallas area, Julie brings a warm, service-oriented leadership style paired with meticulous organization and system-building instincts.

Julie is the reason 1440 runs like a true company rather than a collection of creatives — and her work ensures every agent gets a smooth, reliable, professional experience from booking to final delivery.
