Desmond Martin

With over eight years of experience in commercial real estate, I specialize in investment sales, acquisitions, commercial leasing, and strategic repositioning of assets across a wide range of property types including multifamily, office, retail, and industrial. I bring a hyper-local market expertise and deep community insight that gives my clients a competitive advantage when investing or expanding in the Louisville Metro area.

I take pride in guiding investors, developers, and business owners through complex real estate transactions, from site selection and acquisition to leasing strategy and eventual disposition. My approach is rooted in a combination of market data, creative deal structuring, and a commitment to building long-term value for my clients.
