Who We Are? Optimal Choice. Optimal Results.

OPTL Realty is a modern real estate brokerage built on a streamlined 1% listing model, designed to deliver full-service representation with enhanced marketing exposure and operational efficiency.

 

The firm is led by Principal Broker Keith Ferriell, whose background is unlike most in real estate: 13 years in law enforcement, including service as a Special Agent with the U.S. Department of Justice, a SWAT operator, and a Senior Trooper with the Kentucky State Police. That experience shaped a structured, analytical approach to negotiation, risk assessment, and decision-making under pressure. It is the foundation OPTL is built on.

 

Keith leads the brokerage alongside his son, Realtor Jon Ferriell, serving Louisville and the surrounding communities.
