Being a first time home buyer during a pandemic and an insane housing market was a bit daunting. Derek not only made the process easy for us, but also made it enjoyable. He always seemed to be one step ahead of us and knew what we were looking for in a home. I truly believe that we would not have the home we do if it weren't for Derek's forward thinking and strategic planning. He was very timely with all communications and kept us in the loop at all times. We could not be happier with our experience as Derek as our Real Estate Agent.

From our first meeting with Derek, we were confident that he understood what we were looking for and would help us find our forever home in San Diego. The pandemic made it difficult to travel to San Diego while we were searching for our home, so Derek took us on Zoom tours with so much attention to detail that we put in an offer on a house we had not even seen with our own eyes! Derek worked with a difficult seller to make the purchase as easy as possible for us. We really appreciated how informative and available he was throughout the entire process of getting us into our dream home in America’s Finest City.

As a first time homebuyer, Derek helped me navigate a terrain that nobody had ever seen before. The market was fast, but we still had fun. In the end, we found a house I hadn’t even dreamed of that fit everything I needed and more. He helped me not only navigate an insane market, but helped keep the rails on the sale even as it hit snags and delays. He’s always a phone call away, and is always available. I can’t thank him enough for giving me a truly great home buying experience.

When we were ready to start looking to purchase our first home in March of 2020, Derek was a ready and willing partner in our search. He really got to know us as people and sussed out what our true needs and wants were in a home, down to commute time, neighborhood feel, and hidden value in the house. Derek directed us to wonderful properties that we probably wouldn't have looked at on our own, and ultimately discovered our dream home in a great neighborhood well within our price limits. He fought hard for us in a challenging market and navigated new and constantly changing rules and regulations with ease, guiding us through every step. Our communications with Derek were prompt, caring, and very informative. I'm so glad we had him as our partner and guide in our home-buying journey.
