This is one of the favorite parts of my web site. It is very gratifying to have so many happy satisfied clients who are willing to share their stories and photos with you. No two real estate transactions are alike. They all have their own twists and turns. Some go smoothly and some have a lot of drama. 

If you are considering hiring me to help you buy or sell a Westside property, this section will give you a good idea on what to expect. Feel free to call me toll free at (888) 276-0656 or locally or email me if you have any questions. Thank you.

Dear Derrick, Thanks for the opportunity to express my appreciation for the outstanding job you did of selling my Santa Monica Units . Being a real estate broker myself (in Orange County), I knew this sale would be no cakewalk! I am very impressed and appreciative of the expedient, top dollar sale you brought in and most especially of the professional manner in which the whole process (including the tenants) was handled. You really did make This Sale a Cakewalk! I look forward to working with you in the near future.

Hey Derrick, You know it's kind of funny how I found you, I contacted the agent that I had been working with and asked her to give me a marketing analysis for my apartment buildings. The information that was provided was way off and made me a little nervous about her experience in this market. So I started checking out the For Sale signs that I saw most often on apartment buildings (in hopes of finding someone with the best track record in selling income property). After about the 10th sign, I realized that Digital Realtor was the leader in this area. I contacted you, and the rest as they say is now history. You sold my 2 apartment buildings (both deals were very smooth, none of the anxiety that I have experienced in the past when selling property). You then helped me find the perfect properties to exchange into, and again you made the entire purchase process a very plesant one. Thank you for your expertise and your professionalism.

“When we came across Derrick's web site and started reading his “How to Buy” section, we knew he was the Realtor we had been looking for all along. We were so tired of old-school agents who would just drive us around and not even show us property sheets or provide listing information for other properties on the market. “It was such a refreshing change to work with Derrick. We were very impressed with how professional and well organized he was and his eagerness to understand what it was that we were looking for. His technological savvy also benefited us. As a producer on hectic schedule, Kiyoshi was constantly traveling to various locations from Japan to Europe during the four months we worked with Derrick. Despite this major obstacle, we were able to keep in touch with him literally around the clock utilizing email and other means of communication.  “We owe tremendously to Derrick's expertise as a real estate agent and versatile experience in the industry in getting through our first time home buying experience. This was especially so when the seller dropped us a bomb during the escrow saying she changed her mind about selling the condo. Not only was Derrick able to convince the seller to proceed with the escrow, but he also managed to close the escrow on time despite working with the seller who was now completely uncooperative. “We may well have given up on home buying without Derrick's encouragement and ingenuity. We praise his work and highly recommend him to everyone.” Kiyoshi Kodama Kayo Matsushita

"We're so glad we had Derrick working with us. He found us a good selection of houses to show us in the Venice area. What we liked about Derrick was his ability to look at a home and point out its potential, which was a big help for us as first time home buyers. "Derrick was always available when we called. He answered his phone and came out to meet us as soon as we saw something we liked. He also always got back to us quickly whenever I left a message or sent an email. Houses move so fast in today's market that this may be the most important quality for a real estate agent to have. Once we found the house we wanted he put everything in motion very quickly, interfacing smoothly with a seller who initially didn't want an agent involved. During escrow we found Derrick to be efficient and well organized. All the little details that occur during the escrow process were handled quickly and fully explained to us. All of our questions and concerns were always answered." “He is a pleasure to work with and we recommend him to our friends." Rodney and Linda
