Derek was very patient and helpful throughout the home buying process. He guided me without being “pushy” and answered all my questions. I will be recommending Derek to any family and friends who need a realtor.

He was amazing and very responsive. I used him to buy two houses and would recommend him to anybody looking to but a house. I felt like i was working with family
I will post Derek's name on all my social media. Derek is loyal to Redfin, very knowledgeable, informative, attentive, very patient, worked with us for almost two years to find the right house for us with all the specific requirements we had for a house. Derek will remain as our genuine, honest, hard working real estate agent the rest of our lives.
Always, answer his calls, and texts. Very professional.

We met Derek at an open house more than a year before we got truly serious about buying our first home. We kept in touch and when it came time to buy, we knew Derek was the agent for us! Throughout the process, Derek was attentive and patient, had great insights, and took time to answer all our questions. The home buying process is overwhelming—especially in a competitive market like L.A.—but we always felt we were in good hands with an agent we trusted. The Redfin experience was great, as well—easy to book viewings that fit our schedules and follow homes and area trends on the app. Thank you, Derek and Redfin for helping us buy our first home!

Derek always answered my texts and phone calls. Derek was always available. "Great agent " Thanks Derek!!!
Derek was matched by Redfin for one of the first houses we toured. There was an instant connection and we decided to work with him for our house search. He was extremely patient with us and never questioned our decision but always tried to find why we passed on our house. He would use all that info and pre-evaluate the next one. Derek was super responsive always. We have exchanged hundreds of texts thruout the day before and after a showing. He got an early appointment to the showing and advised on an offer that helped us get our dream home. He was able to get the inspection done as soon as possible, so we would have time to evaluate the report before removing contingencies. He ensured the escrow process was very smooth. Derek is the best!
Derek was absolutely amazing and I wouldn't have ended up with my ideal home without him! He was extremely patient with me as my specs changed significantly throughout the process. We saw 30+ properties over 7 months and not once did he press or check out, but instead became more involved and engaged with finding what I was looking for. I've worked with agents before and no one has been as responsive and on top of things. When I wanted to know something from the seller's agent, he got an answer right away or continued to follow up until he did. It really felt like touring houses with a friend who would give you honest and direct feedback, and at no point did I ever feel like I was being "sold" a property. He recognized my "must haves" quickly, weeded out properties that didn't fit my... Show More

Derek was a fantastic agent from the start until the very end of our house purchase experience! We met Derek at one of the first open house visits that were posted on Redfin. He was so easy to work with and walked us through the complicated process with ease. From the start he listened to our needs and after each viewing got better at finding us the right house. Ultimately, he was contacted by one of the selling agents about a house that was going up for sale and she was so impressed with Derek that we were able to make an offer on the house without it being listed publicly. That was a blessing since every other house we've bid on ended up selling way over our budget and this house was exactly what we were looking for! After we made the offer, Derek made some great recommendations about... Show More

Where to begin... First, this was my first home buying experience via RedFin. After my first home tour, I met Derek who was kind, knowledgeable, and communicative. We got along well as we initially connected based on our Midwestern roots. He made sure to keep me updated about when deadlines or any paperwork that needed to be completed/signed. During escrow, I had a horrible experience with my mortgage lender and my loan situation was unique, so not everyone may go through the trouble that I did, but Derek was able to coordinate with all of the varying parties and guided me through the arduous loan process. He remained patient, professional, and most of all transparent throughout the entire home buying experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better agent. I would highly recommend... Show More
