Going into the search of our future home, we didn't know what to expect or what to be prepared for. Fortunately for us we worked with Derek, someone who has over 16yrs of experience! He was very understanding and respectful to our needs and wants. Derek made sure we were always ready for the next steps, with his experience and expertise the process seemed soo effortless and in the end he made sure we found our home. If you are looking for someone to be honest and go above and beyond to meet the needs of your family's future home, Derek is the realtor you are looking for!

My wife and I were referred to Derek by a family member when my wife and I decided to look into buying a house. This was going to be our first time looking into it and we had no clue what we were doing. We reached out to Derek, and from day one, he guided us and helped us with every single step up until we got our keys to our new home. Without the help of Derek, we definitely would not have been able to find a home as easy as we did. Since then, I have and will keep on recommending Derek to my family and friends for any questions regarding buying or selling. Thank You Derek for all that you did for us!

We have worked with Derek to purchase our first starter home. He listened to our concerns and guided us through the hottest market. We were very happy with Derek and went back to him to upgrade! We were able to sell and move during the beginning of the pandemic. Derek is a great agent and looking forward to working with him again in the future!

Derek was incredibly helpful in navigating me through the buying process for the first time. He was also very patient, as I was extremely indecisive for a while. I never felt pressured and we ultimately landed on the perfect home for me. I look forward to working with Derek again on my next purchase and would highly recommend!

Derek was amazing from the very first time we spoke. He was extremely thorough about what the home buying process would be. He helped us purchase our new home and was organized, professional and on top of everyone and every part of the home buying process. He helped others including our bank, selling party, and hired contractors stay on a strict timeline to ensure there were no delays with our closing. We were flying in from out of state to purchase a home and Derek cleared his schedule that weekend to be sure we saw as many home as possible during our tight schedule. When it came to negotiating a price he researched what our property was worth and made sure we got not only a fair deal, but a good one too! He was present during the inspection, final walkthrough, and everything in between. If you hire Derek you will get 100% of him and trust me, he has got to be the best realtor in San Diego!! The day we flew into town to move into our new home, Derek was so sweet he had a welcome home basket waiting for us in our new home which included snacks, beverages, and even a few new home essentials! I would definitely use him for all your home buying, or selling needs!! I promise you won't be disappointed.

Derek's knowledge of the real estate market in San Diego helped us find the perfect home. His willingness to go above and beyond in negotiations and ensuring we were completely happy made our purchase a great experience. Will use Derek for future home buying and would definitely recommend his experience!

Derek was incredibly helpful with my first home buying experience. We must have looked at 20+ properties when finally he called me one night and told me he had found the house for me. He was right. We saw it first thing the next morning, and had an offer in later that day. His timely, efficient and effective finding of the house, and his strategic offering for the house ensured that I got the house in a very competitive bidding market.

I went to 3 different real estate agents before I found Derek. He worked tirelessly to find me the right Condo at the right price, I could afford. He is friendly, very knowledgeable about San Diego, and made the entire process very easy to understand for a first time buyer. The move from renter, to owner, was flawless and easy. I highly recommend Derek.

Derek has helped us purchase and sell multiple homes over the years, and we would highly recommend him. He is always on top of the transactions and is great at keeping us up to date on everything. He touches base regularly with all parties so we aren't left in the dark. He is very professional and detail oriented when it comes to the contracts and process in general. Derek personally works with you and for you to ensure your home purchase or sale goes as smoothly as possible. His expertise in real estate has helped us navigate some challenging transactions, and we were glad to have Derek handling things for us. Like us, you will be glad you decided to work with Derek on any real estate transaction.

Derek helped find a home for myself and partner. We were looking for a month before we connected with Derek. Within 2 and 1/2 months we were able to find a house and close the deal. He showed us many homes as we were ambitious to find the perfect home. He also provided guidance when it came to financing. With his knowledge of homes we were able to find a home and make it our own. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the San Diego area!

Derek has successfully represented my family and I in a real estate transaction. Derek is both professional and personable at the same time. He provided amazing and reliable service, creative ideas and comprehensive implementation. He is punctual, detailed and thorough in all his dealings. I highly recommend Derek to anyone who desires a wonderful new home or investment property!

Derek is the consummate professional! The home I purchased with Derek's help was the fourth home I've owned but the first one I purchased on my own. It seemed daunting to do this alone... but I never felt alone. Derek was on top of things from day one & never let up. He returned my calls promptly. He answered my hundreds of inane questions with straightforwardness & good humor. He had names & numbers for every professional I needed to connect with in order to close on my house (in the fastest 30 days of my life) from start to finish. After my closing, upon discovering my dryer didn't dry & heater didn't heat, Derek made himself as available as he had been previously while talking me through the process of activating my warranty & continuously following through! Five stars just don't seem like enough. If it were up to me I would give him 10.
