Top real estate agents in Lake Forest, CA

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
