Debra Kovacs of CENTURY 21 Award. Top agent Worldwide. I started in Real Estate in Coto De Caza and from great demand I grew to its surrounding areas and now cover all areas of Orange County. I have been able to work with wonderful clients over and over throughout my career. Many of my Clients I have had for over 20 Years of my Career. It is my pleasure to be affiliated with Century 21 Award, a Premier, locally operated Orange County Real Estate Firm. I have been in the Real Estate Industry for over 30 Years and through those years I have learned that there are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent Realtor. In my opinion, the most important is the ability to discover and address the diverse needs, wants, expectations and concerns of different home sellers and buyers. This ability can only come through really caring about people, together with a whole lot of practical experience and education.

I have been a licensed broker since 1993 and since that have completed 1800+ transactions. I work with both buyers and sellers as well as investors and builders. I believe the most important job a real estate broker can do is to listen first and then guide the client accordingly. Teamwork makes the dream work and I have an amazing support staff to deliver incredible client care at each step of the transaction. The buying or selling of a home is one of the most important decisions that we make and we treat the process with the importance it deserves. I look forward to helping you open the next door in your life. At your service - Derek

Devin was born into a hard working family in the midwest where he learned his work ethic, explored his natural gifts in discovery, and created the rhythms in life that have led to his success. From an early age, Devin excelled in the tech industry. While still in high school, he worked for IBM through a student program, where he got to attend an executive management summer boot camp, and became one of the first IBM PC system engineers in 1980. He started working for Computerland and then became connected to Apple computer, eventually helping with the launch of the Macintosh in 1984. His focus turned to real estate in the early 1990’s by way of his wife, whose family was deeply involved in the industry. He obtained his license in 1991 and while working with the family he was taught how to flip, hold, and manage properties. In 1996, Devin and his family pulled the first permits to build custom homes in southwest Los Angeles, after the Rodney King Riots. In 2001, Devin’s extensive involvement with building and flipping many custom homes compelled him to obtain his general contractor license. In 2008, Devin started working with bank owned properties, but found that representing banks was not as fulfilling as representing the owners who were trying to salvage their lives. He switched his focus to short sales and wanted to properly represent distressed sellers with a smooth transition. In July 2009, after interviewing every major real estate company, Devin was impressed with the training platform that Keller Williams offered and happily joined the team. He quickly became one of the top agents in the company and was invited into Gary Keller’s personal mastermind group in 2010. He went on to build a top team with a vision for delivering the highest level of service through efficient use of technology. In Gary’s mastermind, Devin became close to his now partners, Seth, Reed, and Jeff, and solidified his passion for helping people reach their goals of creating generational wealth through real estate. Devin currently resides in Mission Viejo, California and enjoys time with his wife and three wonderful children. Devin has been very blessed, and gives all the glory to God and realizes that his journey was one that was ordained by Him and looks forward to the future that His plans have laid out for his life.
