About Desmond

Whether you're buying your very first home, relocating with the military, or investing in your next big opportunity, Desmond McClinton is the trusted partner you want by your side. Serving Central Texas and licensed in both Texas and Illinois, Desmond combines deep local knowledge, military insight, and a relentless work ethic to help clients move forward—strategically and confidently.

Raised on the west side of Chicago, Desmond learned early the value of community and perseverance. After earning associate degrees in Information Technology and Electrical Construction & Planning, he served in the U.S. military from 2012 to 2019. During his time stationed in Korea and at Fort Hood, he experienced firsthand the challenges that come with relocation—a perspective that now helps him serve military families with empathy and precision.

Desmond launched his real estate career in 2019 and quickly built a reputation for going above and beyond. He holds several professional designations, including (SFR) Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource, (PSA) Pricing Strategy Advisor and (RSPS) Resort & Second Home Property Specialist.

He has worked with leading brokerages such as Coldwell Banker and The Agency Texas, with a primary focus on the Central Texas corridor—Temple, Killeen, and the greater Austin area.
