Derek is FANTASTIC and helped us quickly buy a home when moving from out of state. He was very communicative via call and text, and even went to see a few places on our behalf where he walked us through via FaceTime. It was a competitive market, and he was very knowledgeable with great advice to help get our offer accepted. Derek has continued to be a wonderful resource with advice for the area months later. Highly recommend!!!! We would work with him again in heartbeat!

We had pretty specific requirements and he worked hard to understand and meet them. He also stuck with us through a very difficult market. Ultimately, he negotiated a great price and contractual terms on a a non-traditional home. Not only that, he helped us rent out the home we left. Knowledgable, friendly, tireless, full service, and results. We could not have been happier.
