Desmond Dunn
Sales & Business Development Manager • Sales Strategy Manager • Customer Success Manager • Raleigh, NC, US
Emerging Affordable Housing Developer | Delivering Sustainable Communities| Human-Centered Approach| Project Management & Community Engagement| Excellent at translating Ideas into Community focus Developments
I started my career in high-volume sales and business development, where I mastered the art of negotiation, relationship management, and market analysis. Through years of strategic prospecting, contract negotiation, and stakeholder engagement, I built a strong foundation in client acquisition, deal structuring, and financial planning—skills that seamlessly translated into my passion for real estate development.
My transition into real estate and affordable housing development was fueled by a deep interest in community-driven projects, innovative construction methods, and strategic problem-solving. I’ve successfully led site acquisitions, feasibility studies, entitlements, and pre-development activities for multifamily, student housing, and affordable housing projects. I thrive at the intersection of Creative community design, urban planning, and construction, leveraging my background to navigate complex deals, optimize project efficiency, and drive sustainable development.
Today, my focus is on affordable and attainable housing solutions, with an emphasis on public-private partnerships, modular construction, and strategic land use. I am passionate about reshaping the real estate landscape by integrating financially viable, socially impactful, and design-forward solutions into housing development.
Let’s connect if you’re passionate about affordable housing, real estate finance, modular construction, or urban development—I’d love to exchange insights and collaborate on impactful projects!
