Ryan Brown REALTOR® · RE/MAX Premier Properties · Louisville, KY
Louisville homes, negotiated like an investor would.
Marine veteran and investor with $20M+ in Louisville real estate acquisitions. Now I bring that same deal math to everyday buyers and sellers, so you negotiate from the numbers, not the listing photos.
Kept his dream home when a no‑contingency offer showed up
“Was out of town on vacation got an accepted offer. 2 days later seller accepted another offer with no contingency. Somehow while on vacation Ryan got a contract on my existing home so I didn't lose my dream home.”
“He helped us negotiate a fair price on the home we wanted and sold ours at a solid price.”

What areas around Louisville, KY do you work in?
I work with buyers and sellers throughout the Louisville, Kentucky metro area, including Old Louisville and the surrounding residential and investment-focused neighborhoods.
Do you work with both first-time buyers and real estate investors?
Yes. I split my time between residential buyers and sellers moving through a typical home purchase or sale, and investor clients working on long-term and short-term rentals, mid-term furnished rentals, BRRRR deals, flips, and commercial acquisitions.

What is cost segregation, and do I need one?
A cost segregation study reclassifies parts of an investment property into shorter depreciation schedules, which can accelerate deductions in the early years of ownership, especially when paired with bonus depreciation. Whether it makes sense depends on your specific property and tax situation, so I always recommend confirming the strategy with a licensed CPA before acting.

How do seller disclosures work in Kentucky?
Kentucky sellers generally complete a Seller's Disclosure of Property Condition form covering known material defects in major systems like the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Sellers disclose what they know — it's not a guarantee of a defect-free home, but under-disclosing a known issue can create problems later.

About
"I want every client to understand the deal as well as I do before we sign anything."
Meet Ryan.
I'm Ryan Brown, a REALTOR® with RE/MAX Premier Properties working with buyers and sellers across Louisville, Kentucky. Before real estate, I spent four and a half years in the Marine Corps Infantry, including three deployments, then came home and used the GI Bill to attend the University of Louisville. I got my start rehabbing a $10,000 two-bedroom house, and the results hooked me on real estate ever since.
That hands-on start turned into years of steady growth — my team and I have helped close more than $20 million in real estate acquisitions and hundreds of units across Louisville, from turnkey rentals and value-add multifamily to the syndications I run through Beechmont Equities. These days most of my energy goes into everyday residential buyers and sellers. I also spent a few years owning and running Derby City CrossFit, which taught me the same lesson real estate did: show up, do the reps, and the results compound.
