Whether looking to buy your first home, upsize, downsize, or sell a home, you can count on my industry expertise, exemplary service, and proven track record of success for a stress-free and exciting process. My passion for architecture and a strong desire to make a positive difference in other people’s lives inspired me daily to achieve the very best for the people I work with.

With the training and education in both real estate and lending practices, I have a unique perspective on the real estate industry and am well-equipped with excellent customer service, problem-solving, sales, and negotiation skills. I draw on my expertise to help buyers access the most suitable home financing solutions to achieve their homeownership goals and effectively market sellers’ listings for top dollar in the least turn-around time. My clients are my priority, and witnessing the overwhelming joy on their faces after a successful closing is the best moment of my life.

 

As a proud San Diegan native, I’ve grown up with a deep appreciation for the city’s amenities, ability to be outside most of the year, and gorgeous hiking trails and paths, making it a wonderful place to live. I am intimately familiar with the local market and the nuances of different communities, neighborhoods, and properties. I leverage this knowledge to guide, educate and provide my clients with valuable market insights on local conditions and trends, empowering them to make well-informed decisions. With my keen eye for architecture and design and relentless drive for home-hunting, I constantly strive to go above and beyond to uncover hidden gems, unique properties, and cherished family abodes that match my clients’ needs, budgets, and lifestyles.

 

An excellent communicator with strong people skills, I pride myself on my effortless ability to connect easily with my clients, listen keenly to understand their needs, and deliver innovative solutions tailored to their individual situations. I approach every transaction with dedication, integrity, and attention to detail while providing a positive and personalized experience for each one of my clients, ensuring that all their needs are met, and expectations exceeded. Through my client-focused approach and long-standing commitment to exceptional service, I have established solid relationships with my clients and built a broad pool of repeat and referral clientele.

 

When I am not making dreams come true for my clients, I love spending quality time with my beautiful wife, Sara, and our dogs Hank and CJ, playing disc golf, hiking, mid-century architecture, and enjoying all that San Diego has to offer. For all your home buying and selling needs, I will be your dedicated and trustworthy advocate to turn your real estate dreams into reality. Let me unlock your real estate goals!

Testimonials

What CLients Are SAying

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.

- Kim B.

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.

— Josh T.

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.

— Laura S. and Ben S.
