Excellent experience

I had the opportunity to have Derek assist with the purchase and the sale of my home. Derek listened to my list of requirements and my hard no’s. He was patient and kind. He could see in my face when we walked into the house I ended up buying that I was completely in love with it. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and when the closing was scheduled I couldn’t be more pleased with his abilities! When it came time to sell he was exactly the same. He truly cares about his clients and does everything in his power to get them everything they desire. I will call on him in the future and recommend him to anyone that is looking for a realtor.

Big Thumbs Up!

Derek was friendly, helpful, and very responsive to all forms of communication. His professionalism made the documentation and purchase a pain free process. I recommend Derek for any realtor-related services and will gladly work with gun again.

Positive and energetic guy who will get it done

I first contacted Derek about something, and he was the only realtor who actually responded promptly and gave me all of the information I needed at that time. I gave up on our other family-friend realtor at that moment, and I'm glad I did. Derek has been patient and understanding with our needs for the past two or three years. He knows that buying and selling houses is often not a quick and easy process, and he sticks to the goal the whole way through. He went out of his way to do whatever he could to help us sell our house, and not just doing things the cookie-cutter assembly-line way. He's friendly, energetic, and positive. He will make all of your wildest dreams come true (as long as all of your wildest dreams are just to sell or buy a house).

I highly recommend Derek Phinney to anyone wishing to sell their home.

I've known Derek for approximately 7 years and had the privilege of working with him, although indirectly, prior to him achieving his real estate license. Knowing Derek as well as I do, I didn't hesitate a second to choose him as my agent and was not at all surprised at his command of every facet of my home sale. Derek took the time, early on, to feel me out as a prospective client, then to arrange a pre-marketing meeting to discuss with me what my goals and objectives were, the critical timing of my sale, the sale price of my home and other extenuating circumstances unique to my situation and circumstances. Months prior to putting my home on the market he devised and proposed a well thought out strategy to market and sell my home, definitely not a cookie-cutter approach and certainly nothing outside of his normal business approach for his clients. He made me feel special but I knew this was his standard M.O. He brought me in to the process and made me an intergral part of the overall strategy. We both worked on and customized a plan to implement the strategy, ultimately to success. To conclude my experience, I want to add that Derek is driven yet maintains a strong family orientation. This is very admirable and part of the reason I chose him in the first place. He is dedicated, quick-witted, intelligent, a fast learner and most critically a self-starter. I'm impressed that he truly rides for his brand at John L. Scott and his priority was always his client, me. Derek takes great pride in being the best he can be and did all that he could do to maximize my benefit, as his client. Never once did I feel like my best interests were not his top priority. Finally, having purchased and sold many homes through numerous real estate agencies across the country for the past 40 years, I have a diversity of experiences to compare sales with and have come away extremely pleased with the outcome of this one. I highly recommend Derek Phinney to anyone wishing to sell their home.
