Derek Listed and Sold our home
"What an amazing experience working with Derek instead of another agent who completely failed to bring the market. Derek did it super fast and completely efficiently modernized the look of our home. But what really impressed my husband and I was that this cool as a cucumber agent became a friend for life. He destressed us daily because he was experienced at his job—he covered all the bases for us. We are in our new condo and wish Derek was part of our world here! He is simply the best!"

"Let us start by thanking Derek for assisting and finding our our dream home! Considering we were moving across the country from Los Angeles, this was not an easy task and required lots of trust and FaceTime viewings. He went above and beyond to get the job done. Derek was overly honest and placed himself in our shoes while not only helping us select a home but was very tactful with the negotiation process and with post inspection. Words could not express how satisfied we felt working with Derek and we will refer all of my friends and family his way."

"Derek was beyond fantastic to work with. We are first time home buyers who went into this process somewhat clueless. We just closed on our house, and the entire experience was seamless thanks to Derek's patience, expertise, and knowledge of the community and buying process. Even after our offer was accepted Derek went out of his way to ensure that we were able to arrange an inspection, secure a mortgage, and have all of our paperwork done in time for the closing date. An extremely daunting process was made simple and fun because of Derek's guidance and confidence. Every step along the way Derek was immediately available and super responsive to our needs. We couldn't recommend Derek with more enthusiasm."

"Working with Derek made the process of buying our first home so much easier. He had a great deal of knowledge about the area, went the extra mile to help us find exactly what we were looking for and excellently negotiated on our behalf to get us the best deal. He was great to work with and always promptly answered our questions/comments. We’d absolutely recommend Derek and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again."

"Derek visited our condo and suggested minor fixes that would enhance the value of our property. We were wise enough to follow his advice. In a building where the typical unit sits for weeks, we sold our unit in less than a week for full price. Derek went above and beyond our expectations, being readily available whenever we needed him and making sure all transactions were smooth. I would highly recommend Derek to any friend or family member without hesitation. He's the best!"

"I called Derek to see if he could find me a rental but he ended up finding me a house to buy and now I'm a homeowner! He was there with me throughout. He is a wonderful guy. If you want to rent or buy a house, call Derek and you will never regret calling him!" Asmau Fumar

"Derek is amazing! He helped us find our first home last summer and we couldn't be happier. He knew the market like the back of his hand and guided us through the crazy ins and outs of purchasing a home in a market that has become increasingly competitive. He knew exactly what we needed to do in order to secure our home without having us stretch our budget. In fact, he saved us a lot of money with his vision of what we could do with the place once we were in it since I couldn't see the forest through the trees, so to speak. Derek will be our agent for life, buying or selling, and I highly highly highly recommend him!!!"
