The amount of time Derek spend with me in person, on the phone, through text and email was incredible. Derek's knowledge is superior. You'd be foolish not to use Derek." - N.G.

"Derek is the best choice to sell your home. Derek sold my condo and several friends' homes in Northwest Chicago. He is truthful, honest, and knows his business. Derek suggested that I have my condo professionally staged. I went back and forth with this decision and decided to go with Derek's advice. The condo looked beautiful and we had an offer within three days. Picking Derek as my realtor was one of the best decisions I have made in the last ten years. Thanks Derek!" - E.

"Hire this guy! Look no further! Derek is the real deal! Derek was recommended by a trusted friend who had listed his home. He helped him to identify needed repairs and updates to help sell his home. He did the same for us. His guidance through a complicated transaction not only saved us money, we got a great price and a very quick sale. He was compassionate with our situation and is passionate about his business. Derek was patient with me and answered all my questions. He went above and beyond the call to meet with contractors and the building association when I was not able to be in town for appointments. I put my trust in him and will never regret it. He truly cared."
