Derek was very professional and insightful. His expertise with the housing market and knowledge helped us feel at ease throughout the entire process.
Very professional, kind, helpful!
You won't be disappointed as you work with Derek! He's a very easy-going guy, who has a very good eye for detail and what needs to be done to get top-dollar. You'll quickly feel like you've known him for a long time as you work with him!

This is our second time working with Derek. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.
My fiancé and I just bought our first house with Derek and it was a great experience! We were looking for a house with good bones and potential to build equity. We looked at a bunch of houses and Derek was always so helpful during our showings to point out potential issues we may not have noticed. When we found a house we liked, he had great contacts to help us get an inspection done ASAP. He helped us write the strongest offer we could given some specific constraints we had, and although we missed out on the first 2 houses (not surprising given the current market with multiple offers and escalations more than $100k over asking), the 3rd time was the charm and we got a great house for a great price. I would highly recommend working with Derek if you are looking for a house, or looking... Show More

Derek Catherall is an Excellent real estate agent. Always professional and always looking out for the best interest of his clients. I highly recommend Derek in all of your real estate needs.
Unbelievable how much time he spent explaining things to me on the phone truly knows his profession and had great wisdom that he shared with me I would rate him over 10 but you have no room for that

He's awesome
Derek worked diligently for 6 months to find us the best house. He never gave up or showed frustration through all the offers and houses we looked at. In this difficult time for buyers I felt blessed to have him. After finally landing a contract he went over every detail with me to ensure I was comfortable and never pressured me to move forward. Overall it was a great experience.
Derek was exceptional to work with. Flexible, knowledgeable, and eager to help us buy the right house. We trusted him to talk us through the potential downsides of every home we thought we could love, and in the end we found something better than we imagined. We are thankful, and happy to recommend Derek to anyone looking for a home.

Derek was wonderful to work with! He went above and beyond throughout our entire home buying process. Had some frustrations with the lender, and he was always there to stay on top of things. Also noticed things about the home that we never would have, and called the seller out on them to our advantage. I can't say enough great things about him. If we have friends or family in the market to buy, I will definitely recommend him!

Derek helped me buy a home in 2014 and then again with the selling and buying process in 2020. Derek is fantastic to work with as he is knowledgeable, personable, and dedicated to his clients. His extensive tenure as a realtor coupled with his excellent customer service make buying or selling with him an awesome experience. If you are in the market to buy or sell your home, I highly recommend Derek as your realtor!

He's very professional and knowledgeable on the steps it takes to buy a home. The whole process was easy having him there to take care of the little things that come up during buying and selling a home. This is our third time using him and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.
Derek was the best. He really takes the time to make sure all your questions and needs are taken care of. I would absolutely hire him again.

Working with Derek was a great experience. He is friendly, easy to talk to, listens to your concerns and genuinely cares. He went above and beyond to advocate for our best instrest in purchasing a home. It was great to have some one willing to do the tough negotiating. You can see very clearly that Derek has experience, while going to many listings he asked questions I didn’t even think of. Pointed out wording that was a little shady and dug to get us the answers to our questions about the listing. I highly recommend Derek if you want someone to stand for your best interest with wisdom in the field.
Derek was an absolute pleasure to work with, he truly cared about me finding my perfect home. He was so responsive to any communication I had and was adaptable when I found places I just had to see right then.

We couldn’t have beat out five other offers on such a perfect home in this super competitive market if it wasn’t for Derek’s dedication, knowledge, and strategy. Derek is detailed, professional, and was quick to respond to any questions or requests we had during the buying process. We have already recommended Derek to friends and family who are looking to buy or sell.

Derek was tremendous throughout this process. I bought this condo months before the economic collapse of '08 and got divorced in '12. My only option was short sale. It was an awful situation and I received minimal support from the lawyer that was handling this. The process drug out for 3 years with seldom any light at the end of the tunnel. Derek never gave up and eventually got this huge burden off my shoulders. It's going to be a while before I'm in the position to buy another house, but there is no question that I'll be calling Derek as soon as I'm ready.

Finally finding our family's new home was a challenge in this market, but Derek was truly a partner throughout the process, answering our questions and helping us through every step. On one rehab property we had under contract, Derek went out of his way to come out to the house multiple times in a week in order to facilitate multiple contractor estimates. While it ultimately did not work out with that property, Derek easily earned my business. Our family is now very happy in our new home, and Derek really made the process simple and streamline. We would definitely use him again!
Derek is the realtor you want to work with! I am so greatful for his connections in this venture of buying a home. I believe him and my husband spoke at the very least a couple times a week. He was great at touch in in reguards to homes that he knew we were intersted in. He is knowledgable, he is kind, he is happy and he is willing to be patient as you search for that perfect home.
It was a pleasure to work wth Derek. he was very involved

Derek was great. He was patient and understanding in our search for homes. I would recommend him to others and would use his services in the future.
Derek was available when I contacted him and he helped with issues that came up in order to make sure the sale went through and all the paperwork that he put together was done correctly and efficiently.

In this challenging Puget Sound housing market, I was very fortunate to have Derek as my Agent. It took four months and three contracts but I was finally able to close on a home that was affordable and met my specific needs. Derek was patient and tenacious throughout this process, always looking out for what would work best for me. He was able to employ strategies that maximized my ability to get the home I wanted and he was available seven days a week. He truly loves what he does and it shows in his thoughtfulness and perseverance in helping me find the right home. I would highly recommend Derek to all my friends and family.
Derek was great. As a first-time homebuyer he answered all are stupid questions. He was always there and in this market we had to make 7-8 offers before one was accepted and was always willing to work weird hours to either write up an offer or answer a question or follow up. He is great at communicating through the whole process.
Derek got the job done and was very accommodating when we needed him!

Derek is the absolute best agent I could recommend to anyone. As a first time home buyer, he was able to guide me through the entire process and made me feel comfortable the entire time. He is accessible anytime of day via calls, txt, emails, and even at midnight was able to answer my questions, comments, and concerns. An absolute professional and overall great person to do business with. He was an anchor when we lost out on previous offers, and continued to run comps and send updates on new listings so we remained on top of new opportunities. At closing he kept in contact numerous times during the day, and nights, to assure I was comfortable and made the best decision possible, for myself and the property I was pursuing.

I personally think Derek was a great Realtor, he would go above and beyond to make sure he had all the information I requested about any listing. He would show me a house whenever requested with no argument. I think at times he knew I wouldn’t like a place but he would still show me just so I could see what was out there. When I sell or buy another place, Derek will be the guy I call.

Amazing experience. Answered every question I had and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy.
I am a repeat client of Derek's. In 2012, after much searching, Derek helped me buy the property I live in now. When it came time to find another property, Derek was the agent I turned to. I used to be in the real estate business and know Derek provides thoughtful and thorough service to buyers and sellers both.
Derek is great to work with. It all went smoothly.
Derek was knowledgeable and responded quickly every time we had a need.
Derek was awesome to work with, from the very first house we looked at. I always felt he was on my side even when it looked like I wasn't going to be able to afford a new place. Very supportive and encouraging ... I highly recommend him. It's hard to find a good real estate agent and he's the best!

I have used his services several times on multi homes. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact me in the future
Thanks for the opportunity letting me recommend his services
Derek is the best agent I've ever dealt with. He is extremely responsive to emails and texts, and does whatever it takes to get things done. We were writing up an offer on a purchase at midnight last time. I have used his services for 3 transactions now in the past 4 years and will certainly go back to him again next time. With so many agents that feel like used car salesmen out there it's nice to know there are people like Derek who will take the time to explain things to you, and don't make you feel like they're just trying to do whatever it takes to get paid.
Derek is an awesome agent to work with. He is always available to answer questions, knows what he is talking about, and is very personable. I have used him twice now to purchase a home and would completely recommend him.

Derek helped my wife and I buy our first home. He spent the time, and answered all of our questions. Later he helped us sell the same home, and again he did an excellent job. Since then he has also helped several friends and members of our family buy or sell their homes, and everyone has been very satisfied. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone!
