"Our experience working with Derek was a pleasurable one. Derek was very responsive and respectful; Went over and above our expectations; Provide good advice when needed; Gave us some good professional contacts; Stuck with the program. Derek is truly knowledgeable in the market area which helped and extremely knowledgeable in the entire process from listing to sale. He worked closely with everyone involved." - K.S.

★★★★★
"Derek did far more than I thought was even in line with his role. Really I was surprised at the level of detailed help I received from Derek from day one until after the sale. 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.

★★★★★
"Arguably the best broker in the Chicagoland area. He's knowledgeable on city and suburban areas, familiar with build/construction costs, and ALWAYS reachable! Highly recommend." - A. & K.I.

★★★★★
"As a first-time home buyer I needed all the advice and help I could get and Derek went above and beyond what anyone could expect. He was able to breakdown any potential roadblocks we might encounter and had contingency plans in place. I would recommend Derek to anyone!" - W.H.

★★★★★
"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."

About Derek
Derek is a lifelong Chicagoan who grew up in the Western Suburbs but has called the city home for the past 27 years. He attended Elmhurst College graduating with a degree in Marketing and began his professional life as a Project Manager for a Commercial Real Estate Firm.

He currently resides in Old Irving Park with his wife and daughter where he serves on the Board for the Friends of Schurz High School and has also served on the Board at St. Viator where he is active in the community. Derek treasures time spent with his family and friends discussing all things cars, photography, local Brewpubs, and his favorite classic comedies.

It was his passion for Architecture and how homes influence all aspects of our life that inspired Derek to launch his Real Estate career 21 years ago. He is a Top Producer as named by the Chicago Association of Realtors and has remained in the top 2% of all Realtors in sales volume for the last 15 years.

He quickly understood the value of investing in Real Estate and used his experience and passion to begin his own portfolio while also developing and selling many homes throughout the city and suburbs.

Derek brings a wealth of experience to aid his clients in achieving their goals when it comes to their home. He has a defined process of how he works with his clients to learn what they need and want for their next move. His secret weapon--Derek is a great listener who asks the right questions to make sure he and his clients are moving in the same direction together.

Derek is your partner along way whether that means helping you pick out your kitchen backsplash or giving access to one of his Airbnb's while you are in between homes. He is a strong advocate and negotiator who works tirelessly on your behalf.

His biggest strength is customizing his proven plan of success to maximize his client's results while offering the best consumer experience. He can see the potential in every home as well as articulate how well a home lives to buyers and sellers ensuring long term happiness as well as an ever-growing repeat and referral business model.

Whether going from suburb to city or the reverse, Derek brings a strong work ethic, veteran knowledge, a proven process, along with an unparalleled joy and passion for helping people achieve their dreams.

His goal is to make the journey to your next move one that you will enjoy retelling the story to your friends and family repeatedly…until you all start the next one.
