What clients say about this agent....
Derek really has been a valuable part of our Real Estate investment journey. He's helped us find, buy and sell numerous homes. He's very quick to respond and has both answers and insight. Don't hesitate to give Derek a call.
Derek always think ahead. He always lays out the scenarios for the coming steps and reminds us the critical parts of process. He provides very precise suggestion and shares the infomation he gathers through different channel , the number we put in the offer for example, hence saved us a lot of valuable time and helpd us ge the house suits us the best. To me, that is invaluable and pivotal. He have helpd us twice in buying the house. Both have been extremely smooth and infomative throughout the whole process. I highly recommend him if you are an anxious and worried buyer!
Derek is an amazing, knowledgeable, strategic, hard working professional! It was our first home buying experience and he truly took the time to get to know us, our goals, expectations, budget and really validated our concerns and feelings. He was patient and thoroughly reviewed the contract with us so we didn't have to feel like we were going absolutely clueless. Within a month of knowing Derek, we were able to place our very bid ever, get it accepted and closed! He worked closely with our broker as well and made us feel like a priority by constantly checking in with us during escrow and offering additional advice with all the extra things such as warranties, insurance, security; we still cannot believe we were so lucky to work with him!I truly do not have one negative things to say about Derek and I'm happy to recommend him to all my friends and family. I can't wait to work with him again!
I just bought my first house and Derek was very helpful with that experience. He made it easy, explaining all the housing market terms that is sometimes difficult for a first-time home buyer to understand. He was with us every step of the way and gave us his opinion and predictions that helped us secure the home. At the end we only went 10k over asking while going up against other buyers. Derek is a very knowledgeable realtor and knows Contra Costa County very well. The entire closing process was a breeze and he managed to help us close within 21 days! Everyone on his team was very nice and professional to work with. I would recommend him to anyone who is trying to buy a home.
When we interviewed Martha Park to represent us in the sale of the House, we were very impressed. Martha covered all of our concerns to the point. From that moment to now Martha worked very hard to help us at every need; Martha went above and beyond to make sure we knew exactly what is going on at every moment. We felt completely confident and informed throughout this process.
I needed to sell my rental property and I did extensive research online to find a realtor who understood the neighborhood I was selling in and was open to selling to an international seller (I recently relocated to Europe and needed someone who was open to working on different timezones). Derek is an expert in all things real estate. Derek is incredible at communicating (even with both of us on different time zones). Derek was able to quickly sell my property, negotiate a rate I was happy to sell at, and was helpful in guiding me throughout the process. Thank you, Derek, for the support and help in getting my property sold.
After just one meeting with Detek, I was.sure that he was the right agent for our needs..He answered all of the questions that I was going to ask him (very much to my satisfaction) before I even asked them. We obviously shared a similar philosophy for what would be best moving forward to sell the property that the family had owned for roughly 50 years. We are looking forward to working with him again.
I've never sold a home before, and had no idea what it took! Derek pretty much took me by the hand and lead the way to a great sale. It was a wonderful experience every step of the way, even when obstacles appeared, and the market was changing.He helped me stay very optimistic, and productive, and my home sold yesterday, for well over asking!Derek's team, from the contractor and landscaper, property inspectors, stagers and title company, did a great job even though I was out of state in my new home. I completely trusted that Derek could oversee the whole project, and the outcome was much more than I expected.I would highly recommend Derek! Thank you so much!!
Derek was first our buyer agent. When it came to negotiation for a wining offer he was very particular and meticulous, he crafted good number to offer and made sure to send it at a strategic time so that we would win the house which we did. We then had Derek to sell our house, he brought a very good contractor to fix the house and worked with a very good stager and staged the house modern mid century and listed extremely high quality pictures. His selling package was perfect and better than 80% of the agents out there listing. So we got a good offer on our house as well.I highly recommend Derek. He is very approachable, respectful, flexible and honest and easy to work with. You cant go wrong with him.
Martha is such a great buying agent, who is super patient and responsible!She helped us with 14 offers before we won the bid. But she never had any complaints. We like her a lot and would recommend her to any friend who needs a good agent to buy a new home.
