More than an amateur psychologist! Had a somewhat difficult property Derrick sold for us and talked me off the ledge more than once.Ultimately got close to our asking price and the closing was a breeze. We were at work when the deal went down and Derrick did everything.

Derrick did an awesome job for us! Buying from out of state is never easy but Derrick went out of his way to help us with every aspect of the buying process!

Derrick was organized, informative and focused on finding us the right home. But more importantly he was a safety net for us during and after the sale as we tried to handle things from NJ for our home in the Keys. His guidance, assistance and friendship in this process could not be matched.

This is the second home we bought with Derrick's help. Derrick helped us get into our beautiful island home in 2017.... and what's more... he helped get us back into it (literally) after Hurricane Irma. Like he was helping move debris so we could gain entry to the home we closed on just days before the hurricane hit our island chain. Not only did he walk us through the home buying process, and help us find the neighborhood that was right for us... he has continued to provide support and recommendations to us in our community. When we sell or buy again, I know who we will be counting on to walk us through it.

I JUST BOUGHT A CASTLE!!!!! Through our Veteran in Real Estate…Buying a house takes time until it’s time to buy!SO you need an agent who’ll take the time to shop with you and then will pull it together fast when the moment comes. Derrick Johnson is SUPER Agent! We recently went from a phone call to closing in 3 weeks. I was trying to buy a condo 4 years ago. The broker wouldn’t entertain offers over the phone. I searched for a rep and learned of Derrick through a military journal. I asked if he’d be willing to represent us.. Within 2 hours he’d found the owners, filmed the entire complex, confirmed they’d hold a note and emailed me the video. It’s what we wanted. They accepted. We weren’t ready to move but Derricks rental division found a tenant who’s with us still.Over the next 4YEARS Derrick discussed or showed me more than 60 properties, four or five of which we negotiated on but deals never materialized. I’d be embarrassed that he put in so much time on us without a sale. But I would still get calls or emails from him on listings close to my vision. I would pursue due diligence and Derrick would make appointments, and he’d point out pitfalls only locals know.In April I spotted a place. It had a pool, a dock. Not a fixer upper but a “dresser upper”..It just needed some finishing touches. With Parties in 4 states Derrick put it together in a few hours. He ordered the inspection, engineer, furniture estimate, a pool review. There was a round of haggling but he brought it in under market and closed in ten days. After closing Derrick took me to the Electric company, the cable company and the water company. Then for an early lunch at a great Keys hideaway(Ask derrick whichLOL) As I write pelicans strut along the dock waiting for us to bring in fish in today:??) If you’re shopping for your piece of paradise in the Keys be guided by Derrick Johnson, your American Veteran in Real Estate.. See you THERE! Terry Gelber/Espiranza Riano, Marathon.

Derrick did a wonderful job of helping us in our home search in Marathon. In addition to fully understanding the process, he knows, and works closely with many professionals such as plumbers, elevtrictions, A/C, carpenters, etc. His honesty and professionalism were outstanding. Derrick should be your first choice when looking for a realator!
