Derek helped my parents sell their house and the reason it sold so quickly was in a large part due to him. I say this because we had listed a few months earlier with another agent but pulled the house off the market due to a lackluster few weeks. We didn't do any research or vetting the first time, so the second time around, I came up with a list of questions to ask and talked to multiple agents. Derek stood out from the other agents in his communication skills, his marketing process, and his ability to see the selling point of my parents' property. Throughout the process of selling the home, Derek kept us updated, was quick in responding and was reassuring with my parents. After two weekends of open houses, we had multiple bids and the property sold above listing price. His dedication, knowledge, and professionalism made a world of difference in selling the house and there was never a moment of doubt from me that he was doing the best job possible. Derek deserves all the 5 star ratings he's gotten. I am so glad we had him help us with the process.

Derek has been such a pleasure to work with. Selling your house is just a challenging as buying, yet Derek made it seemingly painless to sell our first home. From start to finish, he showed full transparency in the process, and more importantly, he will make sure to keep you updated as soon as new details arise - no time wasted. He is professional, respectful and punctual in all the work that he does. He is a master of his craft and knows how to navigate in any situation of the process. If you're looking for someone who can help you in the buying/selling process, and put their best foot forward in representing you, do not hesitate to reach out to Derek!

Derek is truly exceptional. My husband Jim and I met Derek 2 years ago at an open house in El Cerrito. We chose Derek as our buyer agent because he is a great communicator and has a warm demeanor. He was excellent throughout the entire buying process. Not only did Derek find our dream house, but he also found contractors for remodeling. Derek is always available for home tours. His responsiveness is incredible. If Derek doesnt pick up the phone immediately, he always gets back to us within a reasonable time frame. Derek worked with us patiently reviewing documents including some confusing ones. This saved us a lot of time. Derek made sure to find homes that matched our desired attributes. After visits, he took the time to debrief with us on the houses we were interested in, and provided valuable feedback to us. He is also very well-versed at engaging with other real estate agents. Derek has great energy. He called to congratulate us when we got the house we gave an offer on after long hours of waiting from the seller, and it already was past midnight! Dereks professional knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, and upbeat energy gave us a smooth and happy buying experience. It was really nice to work with him. We definitely would recommend Derek to our friends.

Derek Han is by far a very knowledgeable, caring, and efficient realtor. He really connects with his customers. I really appreciate how he explains each step of the process and ensures that the customer has buy-in to what's going on. He helped me sell my father's house which was in probate during a very sensitive time in my life. He has become a great friend. If anyone needs property bought or sold....DEREK HAN is your man!!

I just sold a home in Richmond using Derek as seller agent, and couldn't been happier. From our first meeting till closing, I felt i was working with a highly experienced professional who had my interest as his priority. He helped me navigate the many intricate CA seller's documentation and provided excellent guidance in sifting through the offers. His team did a fabulous job in creating the marketing buzz, which includes a well-made and engaging video. I can go on and on, but the take away for you is I'd highly recommend Derek and do plan to re-engage his services for future transactions.
