Listed and sold a home • Orenda Rochester, NY • 2024
Derek sold our home in Irondequoit in spring 2024. Our house sold for more than we expected thanks to his skills with how/when to list it. He couldn’t have made the process any easier for us. We handed him the keys and he did the rest. He was quick to respond to our questions at any time, day or night. We were very happy with our experience working with Derek!

Derek is a wonderful realtor. I have used him 3 or 4 times now and he has not only delivered on all of them, but exceeded my expectations. He is responsive, extremely knowledgeable and knows the market well! Highly recommend him - you won't regret it!

Helped me buy and sell homes • hill Avon, NY • 2024
Derek has helped us immensely over the past few years. Between our first house, The selling of that house into a bigger house and everything in between he has been nothing but professional and willing to fight for the best interest of us. We had special circumstances that he worked around without issue, complaint or unprofessionalism. I hope to never have to call upon his services again but if I do ever need a realtor he is the one I will seek out.

Derek made the process of selling moms house seamless.He explained the process to my sisters and I, so we knew exactly what we needed to do. He also spent extra time with mom, to make sure she understood everything, knowing how emotional it was for to sell her house. Derek always returned our calls and was always available if we needed anything. My sister has known Derek for many years and knew he would sell the house quickly. Derek sold the house in 4 days with multiple offers.

I've never bought a house before so I can't compare Derek to other realtors. HOWEVER, I do know excellent service and that is what Derek is! He's was always available to my wife and I throughout the process of buying our first home. He showed us probably 10 houses + and we never had ANY issues with Derek. If you're looking to buy your first or even tenth home I challenge you to try Derek Heerkens over any other realtor in town. He knows exactly what he is doing! I can't speak highly enough of Derek and his professionalism

I’m gonna go a little fan boy right now on Derek Heerkens because he’s an absolute rockstar of a Real Estate Agent and before I begin, you should immediately contact him if you’re in the market to buy and/or sell your home. My house was only on the market for 5 days!!! The listing went live on Wednesday 8/24. A mind blowing 70 showings were scheduled over the next 4 days between Thursday 8/25 and Sunday 8/28. 27 offers (yes you read that right, TWENTY SEVEN) rolled in yesterday 8/29. Derek said that was the most offers he’s ever had come in on a property before. He narrowed them down to the 5 best ones of the bunch and helped us decide on the most absolute slam dunk offer that came in of those remaining 5. The winning offer came with a substantial down payment. A conventional mortgage through a solid bank. No home inspection and offered over $40k above listing price! My wife and I couldn’t be happier!!!This is the second home that I have enlisted Derek’s help with. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the housing market. What steps are necessary to take in order to put a good product to market. He works RIDICULOUSLY fast. Extremely responsive to calls/texts. Remembered my house from when he helped me buy it 5 years ago. Completely takes charge of all documentation and communications with all parties involved. (Buyers agents, attorneys etc etc…). Uses an app to schedule the showings that gives full transparency and visibility into the scheduled showings and feedback being left after the showing. Uses an electronic signing service so all documentation can be read and signed right from my phone. The only responsibilities my wife and I had through this whole process was to literally pack up our stuff and stage it based on Derek’s recommendations and give access to the property for a few days while the showings were rolling in. He makes it as smooth as humanly possible. His clients are his first priority and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and satisfied without being burdened by the entire process. Derek is my go to realtor for as long as he remains in this business and I can’t recommend him enough to anyone buying or selling!

Derek is a long time friend and spent every weekend for almost 2 months helping us find the perfect home, create proposals that worked for us and even helped us with ideas of staging and prepping our home for sale. He sold our home in one weekend, it was seamless and perfect!

He is great at what he does!! He was very supportive through the let downs and my emotions as finding the right home during this hard economy was challenging. He is very knowledgeable, and will go above and beyond. I refer him to everyone. :)

Derek was extremely responsive, respectful, and diligent to work with. He had a level of patience and professionalism when answering all our questions. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the buying & selling process and we would have been lost without Derek. I recommend him to all my friends & family!
