About Derek J Kats

Derek has been ranked in the Wall Street Journal as a TOP-100 REALTOR in the USA, ranked as the #1 Keller Williams Agent in the Heartland Region, and is a paid real estate mentor to many Realtors and Investors nationwide.

The entire team of Kats and Associates are wonderful! I worked specifically with Derek Kats when purchasing my townhome and he made the experience a breeze! Derek was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and was always very good about answering all my questions. He always made himself readily available for anything I needed... questions, advice, documents, showings, etc. He even provided me with helpful recommendations of people and companies when I was wondering about the best options for insurance companies, mortgage loan officers, insurance agents, etc. Purchasing a home can be a very daunting, overwhelming experience, but Kats and Associates: Real Estate Group made it easy and made all the difference!

Best reality company to deal with hands down. Always quick to get to a showing and does it on your time. Very professional with the best negotiating skills I've seen. Sold my house fast and found another just as fast.
