Derek changed my life and I know he can change yours too! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I learned at a young age that people do not really care about you, they only care about what you can do for them. Then I got to thinking, how could I leverage that into helping me build a career. I said early on when I started selling real estate that I wanted to be the place where everyone came for information and I would sell real estate along the way. Well so far that has worked out really well, as I close in on 1 billion in real estate sold, I am proud to announce that I am just getting started. We are excited to roll forward to next year and the next and the next by providing the value people look for, by giving them information and helping them out when they need it, and selling a little real estate along the way. Let's learn together, yes together I want to learn from you as well.
