Richard Lukstat, former Executive Vice President at Ogilvy Washington from 2008 to 2017, has become a Licensed Realtor at Lake Homes Realty. On LinkedIn, Lukstat wrote that “after an amazing career in the PR and advertising industry in DC, I made the move out of the fast lane to a ‘farmette’ in Central VA where I spent the past four years fixing it up and kicking off my next career in real estate.
