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.

His team also have the same traits , Your in very good hands with Kelly & Co . We would not hesitate to recommend .

Dereks knowledge of the ever-changing real estate market in Te Horo and Otaki gave us a great insight into the possible sale price for our home. He is a very good communicator and took time to listen to what we had to say. In addition we were very pleased with the regular updates he provided, especially following Open Homes. When he found potential buyers he was very professional in all his discussions, both with them and us, and helped us to reach decisions on offers that had been made. We would have no hesitation in recommending Derek to anyone who wishes to sell their home.

Appraisal, sales advice and communication sound from day one.

I had total confidence in Derek and his team, that they would met expectations on sale of property. From the moment I approached Derek, he explained the process, options for type of sale, suggestions with presentation of property, staging of house, realistic expectations for best outcome. I took his advice and left the property in Derek and his teams professional hands. Amazing outcome for me and the new owners. I highly recommend Derek Real Estate to both sellers and purchasers.

Derek is such a man of integrity - he faithfully persisted with our sake even when open home attendance was low. He is spot with his market value. Derek was transparent with the whole process, communicating throughout.
