"I would highly recommend Derek! He has been extremely patient throughout the home-buying process. If you're looking for a genuine realtor, Derek is the one! He's super knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and shows compassion, never once did I feel as though Derek was pushing me to buy a home, but rather offered support as a mentor. You will not regret working with Derek : -)" - Silvia G.

"If we could give Derek a million stars we would. My husband and I are recent Reno transplants by way of the East Coast. We had no idea how competitive the market was in Reno. Thankfully, Derek was there for us every step of the way. We started with another realtor, but our personal needs weren't met. Derek really listened to us and heard what we were looking for in a home and zeroed in on that. Not only is he incredibly patient (we haven't owned a home in 6 years), but is very knowledgeable about the current market trends in northwest Nevada. More than anything, we know that Derek always had our best interest in mind. After spending months watching houses disappear from the market for way over asking, Derek negotiated an incredible deal for us. He didn't stop there, he was with us every step of the way through the home inspections - even getting into a crawl space. Our entire experience was personalized and professional and we found that Derek was always easy to reach and easy to talk to. We truly appreciate Derek helping us find our home in Reno." - Lynore & Chris

"We found Derek through a mutual friend. We are new to Reno and were moving from Atlanta with a pretty tight timeline. We were very nervous about moving to a new place without much time to spend looking. Like any home buyer (but particularly in this market), we were scared and filled with questions. Derek took our concerns seriously and took the time to introduce us to the area. In addition, he was able to help us house hunt virtually, which helped us save money. He was professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and probably best of all KIND. He consistently surpassed our expectations at every step. We would not hesitate to recommend Derek to anyone in need of a real estate agent and we will always be grateful for his help throughout a stressful time. Thank you, Derek." - Caryn & Ryan

"Over the last 6 months, my wife and I were searching for a new home. To say the least, the real estate market is in a new dimension. New homes come on the market and are sold in days at prices well above the asking price. Finally, we purchased a home and sold our existing home of 45 years. Helping us throughout this difficult process, Derek provided expert guidance, knowledge and over the top personal attention throughout our search and negotiating the mortgage and title process." - Jim & Mary

"Derek provided high quality and professional service and demonstrated perseverance during this challenging housing market. Derek was readily responsive and offered on-going perspective for us to keep up with the quickly changing market situation. We felt we were competitive in the market with Derek’s precision timing on submitting offers. Derek provided support and kept us focused for success which we finally found with our new home! We appreciate Derek’s professional view of the market and willingness to visit a variety of neighborhoods and houses. Derek did an outstanding job of keeping us informed to support the quick decision making required of this current market. Finally, Derek continued to provide help when we had some small plumbing issues after moving into the house. Derek truly cares about his clients and provides one-on-one attention for the best possible outcome. We highly recommend Derek for any real estate endeavor. Thank you Derek!" - Quinn & Kendal

"I’m so glad we had Derek Partridge as our Realtor to sell our Hidden Valley home. He is the BEST, from strategizing list price, to details of marketing, to reviewing all offers with us. Derek is a smart negotiator and he made sure the offer we accepted was strong, fair and best for us. Throughout the process he provided effective, timely communication which made the process seem effortless. Derek is a thoughtful, thorough professional. Also he is fun! I look forward to his help on our next Real Estate transaction." - Ingrid & Mitch

"I highly recommend Derek to help meet your unique needs. He was a fantastic teammate and partner from start to finish with the sale of my home and the purchase of a new one. Derek's communication, style, know-how and experience really shone through this whirl-wind of a process. From the moment I called him, he was ALL IN: strategizing, showing me properties, listening carefully, responding quickly, and with so much enthusiasm and attention to detail. On the sale side, Derek helped me prepare the property including handling repairs, staging, marketing, and timing for offers, all in two week's time. Derek also kept me informed and took the time to discuss every next step once all offers had been accepted. When we got to the inspections, Derek even went out of his way to get a variety of quotes for both houses to help with negotiations and with my own expectations of what to expect after closing. Even after the sale, he still had advice and recommendations for various contractors. Thank you Derek!!" - Tori
