When considering a real estate professional to help me with my recent home purchase I was looking for someone that would be more than an agent who would show me houses, I wanted someone who was more like a trusted advisor. Derek came highly recommended and was exactly what I was looking for. His knowledge of the market conditions was invaluable and he helped get me a price that was lower than I expected. His assistance didn’t end there. Even after closing he promptly helped with any issues with my new purchase. I highly recommend Derek for your next home purchase or sale, he truly is a trusted advisor

Derek and his colleague Scott Morton represented me in the sale of a condo and the subsequent purchase of a single-family home, both in San Francisco. I was extremely satisfied with the services they provided on both transactions. Derek and Scott are great communicators, always responding rapidly to emails and texts, and diligent in reaching out every few days to provide updates. They are adept at leveraging technology to bring in potential buyers and provide easy access to listings, and have an extensive network of professionals such as bankers, escrow officers, and other agents to provide comprehensive services throughout the transaction, where you really feel like a part of the family. Our sale was particularly difficult due to market conditions in the area, and Scott and Derek maintained focus, never gave up, and consistently worked to bring new tactics to bear, resulting in a successful sale. Being long-time San Francisco residents, they have a depth of local knowledge and neighborhood awareness that were invaluable on both the buying and selling ends. And to top it all off, they are both really amazing guys! Highly recommended.

Derek was amazing to work with! He kept on top of everything and had a great attention to detail. Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t have been happier with the service he provided. He really took the time to understand what we were looking for and was super proactive in helping us find an amazing property.

Derek is a proactive, highly knowledgeable agent who successfully represented my husband and I in navigating the complexities of buying our first house in San Francisco. With Derek’s guidance, we went from having zero knowledge of how property purchases in SF worked, to buying a property in a very short closing window. He was also incredibly helpful to adapt to our very specific needs as non-US citizens in this market. I would gladly recommend Derek to anyone looking to buy and sell property in SF.

After we had nearly given up our search, we started working with Derek. He found us an off-market listing, and negotiated a sale price substantially under market! A perfect unicorn for San Francisco real estate. I cannot say enough good things about him.

As first time buyers, San Francisco market can be pretty daunting. With Derek’s guidance, my husband and I always felt very educated and confident in our search. Derek has in-depth knowledge of the San Francisco market which helped us tremendously. Not only did we go for multiple twilight and weekend tours, but Derek was always very flexible with our schedule. He made sure that we always had multiple properties to consider and compare when we made offers. Also, Derek is very analytical and practical – whenever we got too excited about a property, he always reminded us to look at all factors at hand. As we moved into our new house, Derek remained a person we always turned to for any guidance or recommendations. We are extremely happy with our purchase and highly recommend Derek!

We had serendipitously met Derek at an open house he was showing and quickly developed a good rapport. We explained what were we’re looking for and Derek followed up with us the following day providing us with listings that fit our criteria. Over the next month or so Derek and his colleague Scott Morton helped us find the perfect property for us. He is honest, hard working, professional, and took his time to answer all of our questions. He was truly there every step of the way and made sure we were comfortable with our decisions. I highly recommend Derek to anyone looking to purchase a property in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Derek is a great realtor! From the start we could tell he was different. His energetic, passionate and hard working approach helped us find and close on a place quickly. As first time home buyers, we felt in good hands with someone who truly cared to find us the right fit and ‘fight’ for what we wanted. In this competitive SF market you need someone who knows the landscape, provides guidance, digs deep, and acts quickly. With another realtor we probably would still be looking!

We could not have been more pleased! Derek’s knowledge of the Bay Area real estate market and San Francisco in particular, optimized the property’s value and it’s financial yield to us. The process from listing to closing was less than 3 months. Through it all, Derek and his partner Scott Morton aggressively pursued every aspect to insure our best interests. Derek kept us timely informed; was always honest and straight forward in his recommendations for showing the property; was energetic and enthusiastic in his every aspect of the sale process; and most of delivered as promised. The very best we could have had

From the moment I met Derek, I instantly felt comfortable working with him. He was always prepared, professional, honest and did exactly what he said he was going to do. Because of his passion, expertise and knowledge of the San Francisco market he sold my condo in 2 short weeks while maximizing the value and meeting all my needs. I have bought and sold 4 homes over the past 20 years and Derek is by far the best agent I have ever worked with and would highly recommend him!

I really enjoyed working with Derek and his partner Scott who are both highly experienced and plugged in realtors. I recently worked with Derek for the sale of my condo and the purchase of a new condo. He did an excellent job walking me through the selling and buying process, was highly professional at all times, and was always willing to go the extra mile for me. He is highly knowledgable about the San Francisco market and helped me successfully sell my condo and upgrade to a bigger and better home at a reasonable price (quite a feat in San Francisco!), which I love. I highly recommend working with him!

I have bought and sold property in different areas of the United States and Derek Jackson was the best realtor I ever had hands down. Dealing with a major renovation during COVID is hard enough, but to handle it all with me on the east coast takes a special kind of person… and Derek is that person.
The man went above and beyond in pulling together a great team of construction crews and designers and a stager extraordinaire to make my condo a work of art. It sold for top dollar.
He was always on top of the work and kept me completely informed of the progress.. his advice was very considerate and spot on. I couldn’t be happier with how he looked out for my best interests…. wish I had another piece of property for him to sell..
You will not go wrong using Derek as your realtor!

Derek handled the sale of my home, while I was away starting on a non profit in the Caribbean. Despite me having horrible reception and having to move all my possessions by phone, Derek was smart, competent and PATIENT with me. I highly recommend using Derek if you want someone that takes in your needs, and still strives to get you the very best price when selling.
