I asked Derek Kirk to appraise our home for sale, about 4 hours later he gave us a current selling price and said he could have an Open House that same weekend. He did just that. Sunday evening we had 2 written offers. Derek then took the ball and started running through all the Bank Process. His knowledge in negotiating with the Bank's representative and his persistence brought this sale to the finish in a short time. We are very thankful.

Derek Kirk has been a godsend for my husband and myself. We were faced with the difficult task of short selling our home. Derek was right there with us every step of the way. From talking with our lender to keeping us informed of how the process worked, Derek made sure we were informed and that we understood every part of the process.
The entire process went smoothly and quickly. We had heard many nightmares about short sales, but with Derek’s support we made it through a painful time almost painlessly.

Dear Derek,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help with the short sale of my home. When I was considering the possibility of a short sale, I felt apprehension and concern. After meeting with you and learning about the process, I got a better feel for how things will proceed. During the transaction, I was delighted that you took total control and handled all negotiations with my lender and always kept me updated on the status. I felt that you always worked on my behalf with a high degree of knowledge, professionalism, and integrity. I have and continue to refer people to you with the confidence you will serve them well.
Thanks again and take care!

Derek did nothing short of a
phenomenal job in facilitating the sale of our home! His knowledge of our
specific area, and of the broader real estate industry is quite extensive and
afforded us the best positioning possible in a competitive market. Derek's
recommendations were spot-on, and his communication and follow-up were exactly
what we would expect from a top-notch agent. When the rubber met the road, Derek
shined through and we appreciate his service on behalf of Century 21. We would
definitely do business with Derek again!

Derek,
Thank you for all of your help in finding a home in Sacramento, on such short notice. I had been looking at all the home listings available on the internet. I contacted several agents for showings, however you were the only one to e-mail me back, and offer to show me homes and also to become an agent for me.
The level of professionalism you showed was top notch, I was not looking at spending a lot of money, this I told you up front, and you treated me like I was spending a million dollars. The commission on a $11k dollar sale is not very good, and you still went out of your way to get me into exactly what I wanted. For this I thank you, and will be seeking your assistance again.
You also offered your suggestions in the area of home inspections, termite and home infestation of pests. Your suggestions of improvements to the home are appreciated, and you went above the normal call of duty to help get me into this home.
Thank you

Derek, I just wanted to provide you with a sincere thank-you for the professional job you have done throughout our home marketing and sale process. From the time that we first interviewed prospective realtor's (four in total) and chose you to represent us, everything has gone as planned from the beginning of the process. You have consistently kept both my wife and myself “in-the-loop”. Your extensive knowledge of the real-estate industry and your experience and track record of success has been refreshing, to say the least. You have responded to every request in a prompt manner and have made the entire process enjoyable. Derek, Angela and I wish you the very best of continued success in your real estate endeavors and we will call on you if we ever have real estate needs in California again.
Sincerely yours,
Dale and Angela Turner |
Dear Derek, It wasn't to long ago that you helped us find and purchase our first home. It was an overwhelming yet exciting experience. Your knowledge and experience in the market reassured us. You made us feel as if we were your most important clients. For all of these reasons, we entrusted you with the sell of that same home. You once again demonstrated to us your knowledge, experience and professionalism. You weren’t joking when you said our home should sell quickly. Only two days listed and we excepted an offer. Wow, you are awesome! We have spoke highly about you to our friends and family and wouldn’t recommend anyone else but you. Best wishes and thanks for all your help.

A month ago we were in Elk Grove looking for a new home and there is where we met Derek Kirk, who took us under his wing, so to speak, and showed us around the house and area where we found a house that we eventually purchased. We have only the highest regard for Derek for the manner in which he conducted himself in arranging all of the items required for the sale of a house. His mannerism, dedication to the work, his humor and general personality were terrific and he made us feel so much at home. He is a delightful representative and we commend him as an outstanding young man with a great future in his present line of work.
Our sincerest respects
Fred and Gertrude Mohl |
In choosing Derek Kirk to represent us, we received nothing less then true professionalism from him in all aspects of both selling our home, and purchasing a new one. We were made to feel like a priority, and that our needs and wants mattered. Derek displayed a tremendous knowledge and efficiency, and a willingness to make our experience as easy as possible. We were highly pleased with his results, and would recommend him to anyone.
Sincerely,
Lars, Tiffany, Stephen and Shelby Jotten |
Derek Kirk handled the short sale of our home. When we decided to sell we were aware a short sale involves much more processing than a normal home sale does. This type of sale is at the option of our lending company, as well as the office of Veterans Affairs, since our loan was a VA loan. Derek handled all the notifications and kept us well informed all the way through the entire process. We were never left in the dark wondering what was happening. Derek is a professional and we are pleased we selected him as our realtor, and we would recommend his services to anyone.
Michael & Diana Mojonnier |
Upon the recommendation of my neighbor, I contacted Derek Kirk about the sale of my home. I really have to thank her because Derek did an excellent job for me. He went through all of the myriad details of the sale of a home with me. Everything seemed to go very smooth throughout the time we worked together. I am very happy with the results and am glad to recommend Derek to anyone for the sale of their home.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Boyer |
Derek Kirk of Century 21, Haley and Associates, gave our property time, attention and exposure. He was always very prompt and professional and helped to bring a quick closing to the sale of our property by mediating some last minute details effectively. I can recommend Derek Kirk to help you with the sale of your property.
Jane Tate |
Please accept this note as an indication of our appreciation for the great work that you did in selling our property. We were truly amazed at how easy and quick the sale of our home was. This I am sure was a direct result of your professionalism, knowledge of Elk Grove/Laguna market area, and talented marketing skills/techniques. We will definitely recommend you to all our friends. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas.
Thank you,

When my husband and I decided to sell our home, we went with Derek because of his persistence and we felt he would work well with us. We had an offer on our home in three days and an accepted offer in six. Derek was very personable and responsive to our needs. He was also very sympathetic because he knew this was a very emotional decision for us. When I’m ready to buy another home, I will certainly call Derek and I will recommend Derek to my friends and family.
Thank you,
Annette Marshall |
It was the first property we sold, and we were expecting it to be more difficult than it was. We are sure that Derek Kirk's professionalism and attention to detail were what made the experience so pain-free. Not only did we receive 2 offers within 3 days but the offer we accepted brought us a profit we were not expecting. We can’t thank Derek enough for that. Derek provided service above and beyond the selling of our home. We look forward to referring Derek to friends and we will certainly be contacting him should we find ourselves in the market again. It was indeed a pleasure to work with him!
Sincerely,
Ken Mederios |
Derek Kirk was very professional in handling the sale of my property. He always kept me updated throughout the escrow. Customer Service is definitely one of his strong qualities! Never once did I feel that I didn't know what was going on. I would be happy to recommend Derek Kirk in the future to family or friends whenever I have the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Jake Neidhardt |
I used Derek Kirk for the sale of my house, and he put the house on the Internet on Virtual Tours. The house sold within 3 days, and we closed escrow and moved out within a month. He did a great job in making sure that everything was completed when it was supposed to be. I was very pleased, we had a very quick and easy closing.
Sincerely
