Jeffersontown KY Real Estate Agent Ryan Burkhead

Ryan Burkhead, Louisville Realtor®

Breland Group Realtors

Hi there! I’m Ryan, a lifelong Louisville and Jeffersontown resident who genuinely loves this city and the people who call it home. I’ve lived, worked, and raised my family here, which gives me a personal connection to the neighborhoods, local markets, and hidden gems that make Louisville such a special place to live.


My passion for real estate comes from helping individuals, families, and local business owners take meaningful steps toward their goals—whether that’s finding the perfect home, upsizing or downsizing, or securing the right space to grow a business. I take great pride in being a resource, a guide, and a steady hand throughout the process.


Outside of real estate, I’m a husband and dad first. My wonderful wife and our two kids inspire me every day and remind me why home truly matters. When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me trying new local restaurants or enjoying simple moments at home with my family—movie nights, good food, and time to unwind.


As your REALTOR®, I’m committed to providing clear communication, honest guidance, and exceptional service from our first conversation all the way to closing—and beyond. My goal is simple: to make your real estate journey smooth, enjoyable, and successful while offering the local expertise and personal care you deserve.

GUIDANCE FOR LOUISVILLE BUYERS AND SELLERS

Your Trusted Buyer’s Representative

As your trusted Buyer’s Representative, I’ll make your home search smoother, smarter, and far less stressful than going it alone. From connecting you with trusted lenders to helping you explore Louisville’s neighborhoods, I’ll guide you every step of the way.


Together, we’ll review your budget, clarify your must-have features, and focus only on homes that truly fit your needs — saving you valuable time and energy.


When you find a home you love, I’ll analyze comparable properties to help determine a fair and competitive offer. I’ll then handle the negotiations to help secure the best possible terms and overall value.


You can count on me to look after your best interests at every stage of the process — from the first showing to closing day.


Ready to Sell? Let’s Plan Your Next Move.

Selling a home can feel overwhelming — from pricing and marketing to showings, negotiations, and the paperwork that comes with every step. Having the right guidance makes a meaningful difference.


My approach starts with a detailed, data-driven Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) to position your home competitively based on current Louisville real estate market conditions. From there, I offer clear, practical recommendations to help present your home in a way that resonates with today’s buyers.


Your home is then marketed through a comprehensive strategy designed to attract serious, qualified buyers. This includes professional photography, prominent MLS® exposure, and well-crafted property descriptions that highlight what makes your home stand out. Backed by The Breland Group’s strong presence throughout Greater Louisville, your listing is seen by a wide network of active buyers and real estate professionals across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions


What's the current housing market like in Louisville?
The Louisville housing market varies by neighborhood and price point. Well-priced homes often attract strong interest, while others may take longer depending on condition and location. Factors such as inventory levels, interest rates, and buyer demand all influence how the market behaves at any given time.


Do I need a real estate agent to purchase a home?
You are not required to use a real estate agent when purchasing a home, but many buyers choose to work with one for guidance on pricing, negotiations, contracts, and the overall process. Having representation can help you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.


Do I need to be pre-approved before touring homes?
Pre-approval isn’t always required to tour homes, but it is strongly recommended. It helps clarify your budget, strengthens your position when making an offer, and allows you to move quickly when the right home comes along.


How do we determine the right price when selling a home?
Pricing is based on recent comparable sales, current market activity, and your home’s condition. Online estimates can be a helpful starting point, but a tailored pricing strategy gives a more accurate picture of what buyers are willing to pay.


What should buyers focus on during a home showing?
Beyond layout and style, pay attention to overall condition, major systems (such as HVAC and electrical), and how the home fits your long-term needs. Comparing what you see to the asking price and surrounding market is key.


How long does it typically take to sell a home?
Time on market depends on price, presentation, and demand. Homes that are priced correctly and well-prepared tend to attract stronger interest and sell more efficiently.


What happens after a home inspection?
After inspections, you’ll review the findings and decide what matters most. From there, repairs, credits, or other adjustments may be negotiated based on the results and the overall deal.


What’s the best first step if I’m just exploring options?
The best place to start is a conversation. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply gathering information, discussing your goals and timeline helps create a clear plan without pressure.


What areas do you serve?
I work with buyers and sellers throughout the Greater Louisville area, including Jeffersontown, St. Matthews, Fern Creek, Shelbyville, and surrounding Kentucky communities.


More than an agent — your resource for honest guidance, clear communication, and support you can count on.
