“Derek helped us find our first home in a very competitive market. He was always available to look at homes as soon as they came on the market (and we looked at a lot). He also helped us navigate our offer letters to make them as competitive as possible.”

Signing a document
“Derek is great! We moved to CO in 2016 and bought a house with Derek. Fast forward 3.5 years, we sold the same property and moved back to NC. Derek is fantastic, he knows the area and got us more than we were expecting. If you need help buying or selling, highly recommend Derek!”
