I have been working with Derek for over a decade now. Some of my very first investment purchases were with Derek, and I continue to work with him to this day. With thousands of realtors to choose from, I've never given a second thought to working with anyone but Derek and his team. His real estate knowledge is off the charts. You won't find many agents as well versed as him. I started my business at zero and have grown to hero with this guy and his team.

Kay Stephens

Derek’s plan for the sale of our house was very well thought out and detailed. When we first met with him it was a two way conversation. He really listened to us and answered all our questions. He constructed a good marketing plan. Derek was great about communicating with us. He dropped the personal things he had going on to field the offers for our house. If we had it to do over again we would chose Derek.
