Desmond Eaddy is a New York City real estate broker, team leader, and founder of a high-producing residential real estate organization focused on Manhattan’s most competitive rental and sales markets. With more than 16 years in NYC real estate, he’s known for building lean teams that move fast, price accurately, and execute without excuses.

Raised between Northern California and New York City, Desmond developed an early, hands-on understanding of neighborhoods, inventory, and market cycles. His family’s ownership of multiple Williamsburg properties before the neighborhood’s boom exposed him early to the consequences of bad pricing, poor timing, and sloppy operations — lessons that still shape how he runs his business today.

Before real estate, Desmond worked in television and music marketing across nationally syndicated programming and major entertainment brands. That background sharpened his instincts around consumer behavior, positioning, and storytelling — skills he later translated into residential brokerage with ruthless effectiveness.

Over the course of his career, Desmond has held leadership roles at several major New York brokerages, including Bond New York, Oxford Property Group, City Habitats, Compass, and eXp Realty. Across rentals and sales, his teams have consistently averaged more than 200 transactions per year. He intentionally keeps teams small — accountability, speed, and systems come first. Scale earns its way in.

Desmond’s practice is hyper-focused on Manhattan, specializing in high-density, fast-moving markets where pricing accuracy, landlord relationships, and execution speed decide outcomes. He has overseen millions in gross commission while maintaining a reputation for market fluency, disciplined operations, and data-driven decision-making.

Known for leveraging technology, structured SOPs, and virtual support teams, Desmond prioritizes streamlined client experiences, radical transparency, and measurable performance. His organization places particular emphasis on educating first-time NYC renters and buyers navigating the city’s complexity for the first time.

Beyond transactions, Desmond is deeply invested in community-building within real estate. He regularly hosts networking events, panels, and industry gatherings designed to connect agents, clients, landlords, and partners in ways that actually move business forward.

He remains actively involved in deals, strategy, and mentorship — focused on building leaders, not passengers, and infrastructure designed for long-term, sustainable growth.
