Derek Kelly

Derek Kelly brings the reality of how emotional and life-changing selling and buying a home is. He is able to match this emotional intelligence with uptmost professionalism and precision. His experience and knowledge of the market comes directly from his committment to, and involvement in the community in which he works and lives. Derek is so present in the community and has obvious care and relationship within it. I trusted him from the beginning and felt safe to follow his advice and I am so glad I did. My house was sold within the first week of it being on the market!! I knew he wanted the best possible result for both myself and the buyer and I feel confident that we both got it. Give me more than five stars to rate Derek please!

We would highly recommend Derek and his team. They were very knowledgeable about the current market. Their communication was excellent, giving us feedback on the day of the open homes and then a weekly report showing all the statistics relating to our home via the different websites it was listed on. Derek or one of his team were always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. We were very pleased with our sale outcome. Thank you again to Derek and his team at Kelly & Co in Otaki.

Derek and the team were consistently available, helpful, and supportive when we needed it. Fantastic outcome thanks to his work on our behalf! Thanks Derek (and team), we really appreciate it.

Throughout the sale of our subdivision property, Derek demonstrated exceptional market knowledge and professionalism. From the outset, he kept us informed at every stage offering clear guidance and proactive communication. His strategic approach to negotiations ensured we achieved the best possible outcome. We are extremely satisfied with both the process and outcome. Derek went above and beyond by making himself available even while on holiday overseas, ensuring we never felt out of the loop.

Dealing with Derek from start to finish as a buyer was easy, stress free and a positive experience. Unlike dealing with agents in the past and especially coming in as a buyer, Derek worked with myself and the vendor to ensure a smooth sale and an outcome that we were both happy with. I would not hesitate to recommend Derek to others.

We found Derek to be very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He gave us feedback regularly and kept us right up to date with how things were going. It made the process of selling our house much less stressful than it could have been and we felt that he was doing all he could to get the best result for us. He has a really relaxed, casual style a great sense of humour and we now consider him a friend too.
