What clients say about this agent....
Derek was amazing from start to finish. He was always on top of things and made sure everything was smooth throughout. We were incredibly lucky to have found him as we were moving to another state and had to leave everything in his hands. He absolutely went above and beyond with his insightful knowledge of the local market to help present our home in the best way possible and took care of things in our absence. He will always be my recommendation for an agent in the Kansas City area!
I highly recommend you work with Derek! I was a first-time home buyer with LOTS of questions and Derek graciously helped me every step of the process to find my home. I felt very supported with his knowledge, guidance, and friendly demeanor. I can truly tell he enjoys what he does and I'm so grateful to have him in my corner.
Derek was all around excellent to work with. He was very attentive and knowledgeable, which was especially helpful for us as first time home buyers. Derek was always quick to answer questions, big and small; we learned so much so quickly that the whole process felt more manageable and less overwhelming. Because Derek helped to relieve those extra nerves, we felt much more confident when making offers and then moving throughout the buying process. When it came to making offers and scheduling visits, Derek was always quick to act. He really cared to help us find the right home; every day he went above and beyond. He has so much knowledge on homes and could quickly spot flaws we would not have found ourselves. Derek would always help us keep the right perspective and tell it like it is, (versus saying what we want to hear). Home buying is an emotional process, so we really appreciate his honesty. We certainly do not plan to move from our beautiful home anytime soon, but when our family grows and we need more space, Derek will be our first call. We look forward to working with Derek again and highly recommend him!
Derek was absolutely amazing to work with!Not only did he help us sell our home in 4 days but also helped find a new home a few weeks later with short turnaround. A true professional and pleasure to work with!!
Great experience with Derek and its my 2nd time using him as my realtor. He is very knowledgeable and works diligently finding solutions to possible problems to get the deal completed.
Derek did a wonderful job with my matters both buying and selling. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He goes the extra mile in all his endeavors. I highly recommend Derek for all your real estate matters.
Derek is a great realtor and highly recommended! We are moving out of state and had to do everything over the phone/text/FaceTime. He has excellent communication and consistency. He was incredibly patient as we waited for relocation timelines to work out. He thoroughly answered any (and I mean MANY) questions that we had regarding properties on our house hunt. When it was time to put in an offer, he wasnt shy about negotiating and advocating for us. We are incredibly happy with the price we got on our home. He had great attention to detail during our final walkthrough. We are entirely trusting of Derek and his ability to be professional, friendly and the best realtor weve ever worked with!
Derek is phenomenal! He cared a great deal and paid attention to the things we were looking for in our new home. He was diligent and consistent the entire process. He was there to answer any questions or concerns with promptness. He was very knowledgeable about houses and their surrounding areas. In the end he made sure we were completely satisfied with our purchase. I HIGHLY recommend him.
Derek was on point from start to finish and continues!!! Had our interests at heart and our backs through the entire process. Always available to answer questions about property and area to live. Great communicator and knowledgeable about the process in the area, highly recommend. Found a friend in the process, thank you Derek!! Mike and Maureen Brown Bates City, Mo
Derek is THE absolute best! We didnt have much time to buy and Derek took all of the stress out of the process. He knew what we were looking for and executed it beautifully. Derek was extremely flexible with our family (we have young kids), was patient with us during the process and was always looking out for our best interest. Derek has exceptional communication skills, both written and spoken, is thorough and prepared for every showing bringing hard copies of the listing and sending property details beforehand as well. When it came time to place an offer, Derek made sure that we were happy with what was being put forward and ensured we were confident the intricacies with that offer. His advice and knowledge was greatly appreciated as we are newer to the area. He made sure we knew about the area, the schools, distance and commutes for work, and so much more. In addition to his knowledge of the market and home buying process, Derek was kind and helpful. We knew that at any moment we could send a text or pick up the phone and call him to ask any number of questions. He never made us feel like we were an inconvenience or a burden. We are very thankful we found Derek and one day when we are ready to buy/sell again, we WILL be using him again. Thank you for everything Derek!
