Looking to buy commercial property in Louisville, Kentucky or nearby areas? Hi, I’m Raphael Collazo. As a CCIM-certified commercial broker, I help investors and business owners find commercial properties that make real financial sense.
When you buy a building, you should never have to guess if the price is fair. I help you uncover off-market properties, check the real income and expenses, and handle every inspection step from your first offer to the closing table.
Tell us your target building type, ideal square footage, or location in Greater Louisville.
Most buyers start online by looking at the same public commercial listings for sale that everyone else sees.
Here is the truth about the Louisville commercial real estate market: the best buildings rarely hit public websites. By the time a building shows up on a big listing portal, top local investors have already passed on it, or the asking price is way too high.
I call building owners directly and tap into my local CCIM network to find commercial property available before it ever goes public.
Sellers often show you "projected" rent numbers that look great on paper. I check actual tax bills, utility costs, and rent rolls so you know the real profit.
If an inspection shows a bad roof, zoning problem, or soil issue, my contract clauses let you walk away safely with your deposit money intact.
Whether you want to buy a building for your own company or an investment property that pays you monthly rent, we help you buy across five main asset types in Louisville, Kentucky and nearby communities:
Looking for retail commercial property for sale? We help you buy neighborhood shopping plazas, single-tenant net-lease shops, restaurants, and storefronts along busy Louisville roads like Bardstown Road, Hurstbourne Parkway, and Shelbyville Road.
Inquire about retail assetsLouisville is a major shipping hub with UPS Worldport and three main highways (I-64, I-65, and I-71). I help buyers find distribution warehouses, light manufacturing plants, contractor yards, and flex buildings with high ceilings and loading docks.
Inquire about industrial assetsNeed a professional or medical building? We help doctors, dentists, law firms, and investors evaluate commercial space for purchase in top areas like St. Matthews, Downtown Louisville, and Eastpoint Business Park.
Inquire about office assetsTired of paying rent to a landlord every month? Many local business owners ask me where to find small commercial space for sale. I help you buy a 1,500 to 5,000 SF building using an SBA 504 or 7(a) bank loan with as little as 10% down, so your monthly payment builds your own wealth.
Inquire about owner-user spaceWant to invest in apartments or mixed-use properties (retail shops on the first floor and apartments upstairs)? We help investors analyze and buy 5+ unit apartment complexes and mixed-use buildings with strong rental demand across Louisville's urban corridors.
Inquire about multifamily assetsBuying a commercial building has more moving parts than buying a house. I break the whole journey down into five clear, simple steps:
You do not need 100% cash to buy commercial space. Most buyers in Louisville, KY and nearby areas use one of these four paths:
If your company will use at least 51% of the building, you can often buy with just 10% to 15% down and a low, fixed interest rate for up to 25 years.
Local commercial banks typically ask for 20% to 25% down based on the building’s rental income (Debt Service Coverage Ratio).
Selling another investment property? We help you move your sale proceeds into a new building within the strict 45-day IRS identification window so you pay zero capital gains tax right now.
In some deals, the current building owner acts as the bank, letting you buy with flexible terms, lower closing fees, and tailored repayment schedules.
Here is a look at how we protect buyers, negotiate price discounts, and solve technical hurdles across Louisville deals:
A growing truck and diesel repair company needed industrial land and shop space. When environmental challenges came up during inspections, we worked through every hurdle to help our buyer safely close on 5.7 acres.
Discuss industrial acquisition
When we first approached the owner a year earlier, the asking price was too high for the building’s income. By staying patient and tracking the numbers, we acquired this 17,794 SF multi-tenant office building when the price finally made financial sense.
Discuss value-add office
When their landlord announced a steep rent hike, we helped two local attorneys stop paying rent and purchase their own law office building in Louisville.
