"I want every Highlands client to understand the deal as well as I do before we sign anything."
A realtor who treats your Highlands deal like it's my own money.
I'm Ryan Brown, a REALTOR® with RE/MAX Premier Properties working with buyers and sellers across Louisville, Kentucky — including the Highlands and the surrounding urban core. 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 the Louisville metro. These days I bring that same disciplined, numbers-first approach to Highlands buyers and sellers, whether it's a first shotgun house or a Cherokee Triangle Victorian.
