Derek was GREAT to work with, he took great care into helping us put together the home to really showcase all that was special. The result was that we had an offer in less than 48 hours! I would highly recommend Derek to any of my clients, I am a mortgage loan officer and I have access to a very large realtor data base from my past closings.

Without Derek, I could have NEVER bought a 7 figure house unseen during one of the most unprecedented times in our American history! I was literally in the center of the Manhattan COVID 19 which soon was inundated with protesters and looting after George Floyd's death.  My home, business, and existence would never be the same and I wanted to relocate to Austin.  I had never lived in Austin, I visited briefly over 20 years ago, and I needed a top notch real estate agent that I could build a trusting relationship over the phone and that would dedicate the time to help me find the right property remotely. It was a blessing that I found Derek online to help!  Under the circumstances, I could not participate as one typically would but I knew what I wanted and did not want in a property.  The rest was left to Derek to find a home and a place for my business. Derek sent a selection of properties, of which I did not know any of the neighborhoods. Of course, the most expensive one was the one I loved!  Derek immediately went to the house to record a video.  I did not get through 30 seconds of the video and I texted Derek to make an offer! From acceptance, Derek took care of 100% of EVERYTHING for me.  He provided exceptional resources that completed everything including mortgage broker, inspector, Title Company, and other resources. Derek was trustworthy, accurate, honest, forthright, protective, and ALWAYS did the right thing when representing me.  He participated in the extensive inspection and completed my walk through FOR ME!  The immense level of trust was crucial in an arm-length real estate traction of this nature and Derek made it incredibly easy!  He was always available and focused on accomplishing the tasks to complete the deal. We closed remotely and I jumped a plane to Austin to pick up the keys and start my life in a city, a neighborhood, and a house I did not know.  The house and neighborhood were far more magnificent than the pictures, his descriptions were incredibly accurate, and most importantly he did everything with the highest level of professionalism.  I love the home and I simply could have NEVER done this without Derek!

With almost a decade in real estate investing I have worked with many agents, and Derek is one of the best I've seen. The results speak for themselves. Derek's skill enabled me to beat over a dozen other offers to purchase my first choice property below market value in one of the hottest markets in the country. When we encountered issues with the property during the inspection period, Derek's skill as a negotiator enabled us to get full credit for those repairs. Most importantly, Derek is a great human being. I do not believe there is any greater evidence of a person's character than what they do for you when they have nothing to gain. After we had already closed on the property, Derek continued to work with us and the seller to resolve an issue with the property that was preventing us from getting the gas turned on just because he cared. For all the aforementioned reasons, Derek is and will continue to be my go-to agent in the Austin Area market.
