Derek made the often times frightening experience of purchasing a new home very easy and enjoyable. He was always there for us and he helped us through all of the hard decisions. His knowledge of the market was exceptional. And, we always felt that he had our best interests at heart. We highly recommend Derek. Jay & Janice Hawaii Kai

Derek went above and beyond in helping me with the purchase of my condo in Mililani. He really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for from day one, and was there for me until the very day we closed. Not only did he help me to find exactly what I was looking for, but he helped me to understand the market, the entire buying process, and ultimately got me a great price. He didn't skip a beat and made the entire buying process a piece of cake. The whole transaction was actually "fun"! I’ve worked with other agents in the past, but Derek’s extensive knowledge, attention to detail and commitment to my goals have made me his client for life. I’ve recommended Derek to both friends and family with confidence because I know from experience that he treats every client like family and always has their best interest at heart.

Personable yet professional service. Hard work, determination and strategizing was evident. Derek came on a couple of occasions to help us clean up for Sunday open houses, and helped us clean out our house while in escrow. Derek was always looking out for us by checking the wording of our contracts to be sure nothing was overlooked. Derek was very timely and watched our back to be sure we didn't miss anything through the whole process. Dyron & Lori Ota Royal Kunia

Selling our house took careful planning and coordinating. Derek explained all our options, kept us on the right path, and did the leg work to help us achieve our goals. My husband and I did not always share the same opinion about issues concerning the preparation of the house and the negotiation of the sale. Derek was very patient, supplied us with the information from his research and shared his professional opinion and ultimately, left the decisions up to us. In the end, we were very happy with the results and felt victorious about the sale. Billy & Linda Venenciano Waikele
