From the beginning when we met Derek, he has been detailed in sharing with us on the real estate market trends and advising on how we can achieve the best price for our Multi-Gen flat. What truly impressed us is that he is able to put his plans for us into action, selling off our unit in just 3 weeks and with a COV of $20k despite the restrictions on our flat. If you are looking for a knowledgeable agent who can deliver results for your property, I would strongly recommend Derek.

Derek's expertise as our property agent was beyond impressive! He managed to close the sale during the first weekend of viewings, achieving a record-high price per square foot for our development. His strategic marketing and negotiation skills were outstanding, attracting the right buyer at the right price. Throughout the process, Derek's professionalism and excellent communication kept us informed and confident. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome, and we highly recommend Derek to anyone seeking exceptional results. Five stars for his remarkable work!

We had initially anticipated that it will take some time to sell my flat as it is already 60 years old and on level 2. Derek took time to explain to us on his marketing approach which alleviated many of our concerns. We were pleasantly surprised that he was able to sell our flat in just 2 viewings and at a much higher price than that of a higher floor neighbour transacted a month before. Thanks Derek!

We engaged Derek for the sale of our landed property and are extremely satisfied with the level of professionalism and service provided by him. Derek has been incredibly helpful in the sale of our property and his advice has been invaluable. We were initially uncertain about the value of our landed property, however Derek has helped us understand the true value of our property through his extensive knowledge in the landed segment. Not only did he share his marketing approach in achieving record prices for his clients, he was able to sell our inter-terrace in just a span of 8 days, at a price even higher than our expectations and $1,000,000 above the previous transaction. We will definitely recommend Derek to our family and friends.

Engaging Derek for the sale of my elderly parent's property was the best decision our family has made. Not only was Derek able to sell our unit in just a single viewing, he was able to do so at a record price that is above our price expectations. Derek is knowledgeable in the entire process and took care to explain every little detail and procedures so that every one in the family knew what to expect. Derek's exemplary service did not just stop there. Knowing our family's limitations with our elderly parent and challenges with the clutter situation in our unit, Derek has gone above and beyond our expectations in volunteering to assist us in clearing out our unit. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

It's probably uncontroversial to say that many people are wary of real estate agents due to (sometimes justified) beliefs surrounding conflicts of interest and having had negative experiences in the past. In an industry where the stereotypical agent cares more about closing deals than working in the interests of their clients, Derek is refreshingly unique in that he cares deeply about and actively works for the interests of his clients. He worked tirelessly to ensure that we met (and exceeded) our expectations, so that we can reach the goals we set for ourselves. He is also meticulous in his planning, giving sagely advice for the planning of our transition to our new place. Overall, Derek is trustworthy and a delight to work with. CEA will do well to showcase him as an ethical model agent, in an industry where it can sometimes seem like it is devoid of ethicality and trust.

Being meticulous and having an eye for details made the purchasing process a breeze for us as he guided us step by step throughout the entire process.
