He made sure he was available to take us around to see a ton of houses when we arrived in Calgary for a few days to look for a house, answered all our questions and went way above and beyond to help us get a beautiful house. Derek even arranged a fantastic home inspector on a rush request and helped us navigate the rest of the process from a distance. We highly recommend Derek as a realtor! read less

We met a couple of realtors, and ultimately chose Derek for a couple of reasons. He is knowledgeable on the market, was direct in his communication and our personalities seemed to mesh well. Derek was able to solidify an offer on our home even before it hit the market - his reach to other realtors and his work ethic was valued and deeply appreciated. We actually have footage of Derek running down our street in full sprint, distributing door hangers advising of our upcoming listing - the guy works hard and is a straight shooter! I would highly recommend Derek to friends, family and the like and will continue to trust him with my future business. read less

Buying a house is a daunting task and even more daunting when you live out of town and you don't know the area. We found Derek online based on his high positive reviews and we couldn't have been happier to have selected him as our realtor. First of all, he is very responsible, attentive, and dedicated to his job. He guided us every step of the way and during each milestone, he was more than happy to answer any questions we had. Additionally, the biggest advantage Derek has over other realtors is his construction background. When looking at houses, Derek could tell which materials were high quality or not and he would give us quick and valuable feedback for us to decide if a particular house would a good potential. We were most impressed when Derek went to inspect something in a house we really liked but forgot to check before leaving out of town. Even though it was -27C outside! he was kind enough to send us a video for us to review and decide. Finally, not only he is a great realtor but he also has a great source of contacts for any additional tasks we needed, including lawyers and contractors. If you are looking for a realtor in the Calgary area who you can trust, it would have to be Derek. I will be recommending him to all our friends and family. read less

Derek brought potential buyers to view my place. The listing expired and I took it off the market.I wanted to relist and Derek had struck me as really knowing his business and he recognized the quality of my home. I decided to wait a few months before relisting. Derek had come over and given a presentation about how he markets a home. He is enthusiastic, he listens very well and wants to help the seller succeed! While waiting to relist the he would send new, comparable listings so I could keep an eye on the market. The market began to heat up.A realtor who had shown the home when it was listed dropped by to see if I still wanted to sell. Well Derek's market updates and the sending of new listings helped me to know the market.Derek helped me through the process without having the listing! He made sure the paperwork was in order and that the process was all correct! He even gave me some negotiating tips! Derek is a professional. He helped me out without any expectation. You know, when some does a good job - well you expect that because they are getting paid. But when someone pitches in and helps you to succeed without getting paid - then you see what kind of person they are. Thank you Derek for all your help in getting this deal closed.You build good karma and good will follow you! I look forward to our next opportunity! read less

Sold my house fast and was always available to answer any questions I had. Would highly recommend Derek for all your real estate needs.

All of those realtors were well-rated but NONE had responded or followed-up to my inquiries. It was a very frustrating experience considering we were looking to make a move on a tight deadline. So when I came across Derek’s realtor information and the 5-star ratings he had, I figured I’d give it a try. He picked up my call immediately, chatted with me for a while, and actually got me excited about moving out to Alberta. He followed-up right after our phone call and started a search portal for us based on the criteria we had talked about. I immediately knew I was in the right hands - a dedicated professional who was genuinely excited to help his clients find their perfect home. Our situation was unique in that I was still in Ontario while my husband and Derek searched for the right home for us. I struggled with this a lot but Derek was extremely patient, and was always available to calm my nerves. His previous experience in construction helped too - he would point out items (good and bad) about a home that we otherwise would have missed. He has a list of professional connections that also (Inspectors, contractors, lawyers etc) made the process feel so easy. I am so excited about our move and Derek was a big part of that. Thank you Derek! read less

He is one of the most responsive and motivated professionals I've seen. He has construction experience and gives you tradesman consultation if you want to do some reno or mods in the house.(Who doesn’t)We looked at tens of houses all over the city, with my son and my newborn daughter easily because he is making it easier. He is committed to his goal which is getting us the best house suited to our family. Always on time. His dedication keeps you on track to see flaws in a house or the potential you couldn't see before. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to buy/sell a house and have fun instead of heart attack. read less

We liked his background not only in real estate but also in construction. When we first met him, he did not disappoint. Derek is accessible, leading edge in technology and very familiar with all communities in the Calgary area. Derek listens and meets all your needs, develops a portal of available houses and shares his knowledge and expertise. Derek helped us find the house of our dreams that meets the needs of our entire family including our son with physical disabilities. We are building a new home and will enjoy our continued support from Derek through the inspection processes right to completion. We have developed a great friendship with Derek. We have already recommended Derek to friends. read less
