This is what Derek's clients say...
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to recommend Derek Innes as a real estate salesperson. My
wife and I recently used Derek's services to sell our revenue property in
Vancouver. Derek is a true professional. From day one of our dealings with
him, Derek not only set about to sell our house, but actually prepared a
well-thought out strategy to maximize the value that we received for our
property. Further, in the negotiations with potential purchasers, Derek
provided thoughtful and insightful recommendations.
I firmly believe that we were only able to achieve the excellent results
that we obtained (a price in excess of our listing price) as a result of
that strategy. While many other realtors may be able to simply list your
property, Derek's overall approach to the sale was something that
impressed me tremendously.
I have no hesitation in recommending Derek whole-heartedly.

Dear Derek:
Thank you so much for
all your hard work on our behalf. Neither John nor I would hesitate to
refer our friends to you.
You handled the listing and sale of our home with absolute professionalism. We appreciated the regular feedback after showings.
You got us a very good sale price for our home thereby enabling us to buy the house of our dreams.
Thank you and best
wishes

To Whom It May Concern:
After meeting with Derek and other realtors we made our decision to list our home with Derek. It turned out to be an excellent choice.
Derek was very courteous, friendly, and highly efficient. Our house sold in 5 days at very close to the asking price.
It has only been a month since our home sold and we have already referred Derek to two of our friends and we would not hesitate to recommend him to you.

To Whom It May Concern:
Mr. Innes acted as our real estate agent on the sale of our home and the purchase of a town home. Derek acted in a very professional yet friendly manner, advising on every step of the way. He spent a great deal of time showing us potential properties to buy, as well as arranging to show our home to perspective buyers.
Derek's negotiations with the agents for the sale of our home and for our subsequent purchase were always in our best interest.
It is difficult to move after being in a home for so many years, but the entire process was made easy with Derek's help.
We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mr. Derek Innes as a real estate agent of integrity, honesty, and style.

To Whom It May Concern:
During the past few months, we retained Derek Innes, in his capacity as a real estate agent, to assist my husband and myself in the purchase of our first home.
We had very little experience with the process and greatly appreciated Derek's patience and willingness to explain to me each of the various steps involved. He endeavored to address my questions and concerns in a timely manner.
I was suitably impressed with Derek's knowledge of the real estate market, his professionalism, negotiating skills, his candor and equally important, his willingness to work whatever hours necessary to complete the transaction. Throughout our dealings with Derek he ensured that our interests, as buyers, were safeguarded and that the ultimate purchase price was fair. We would highly recommend Derek's services to our best of friends.

To Whom It May Concern:
With the sale of our home now complete, Sue and I wanted to put in writing sincere thanks for all that Derek did and a job well done! His professionalism, courtesy and knowledge of the Lower Mainland real estate market kept us in touch with our personal goals especially when we got off track.
We truly appreciated how accessible he was at all times, and that from day one he was working for us, not only in the sale of our home, but also helping us to determine our next step in the market.
We never once felt pressured, and what was most satisfying, was that we felt like we were his number one clients. We look forward to dealing with him again and would not hesitate to refer him to anyone we no that will be in the market to buy or sell.

Dear Derek:
To
start with, we must say that we have had many dealings in our lifetime
with service and professional people that have promised the moon and not
delivered. It has been such a pleasant surprise to deal with you, you
simply explained to us
what
marketing a home entailed, showed us how you would market our home, and
then you did exactly what you said you were going to do.
The sale of our home went very smoothly from start to finish and we realized more than we expected from the sale. Then, after viewing many homes over an extended period of time you found us exactly what we wanted and then negotiated what we believe was an excellent price.
Your assistance with financing, lawyers, insurance was also greatly appreciated. You made the entire process smooth, and we always felt like we were in control with you looking out for our best interests. Thank you again for all your help, and we will certainly encourage our family and friends to contact you should they require the services of a true professional.
Sincerely,

Dear Derek Innes and Marlene Goodbrand:
I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to both of you as the listing
agents in the sale of my home at Adderley Street. Not only did you sell my
house quickly, but you carried out the sale in a professional, efficient
and expert manner, during a very stressful time. As a team you provided me
with an optimistic approach, along with sound and practical advice in
respect to neighbourhood marketing and sales information which allowed me
to stay realistic yet still achieve productive and positive results.
Derek I must commend you for the skills you displayed on the night the
numerous offers were presented to us. You anticipated and considered my
position and by putting to work your amazing negotiation skills you gave
me rational, prudent advice in the countering process, without intruding
on my personal decision making. Because of the way in which you handled
the entire listing you sold my house for well over the asking, in less
than a week, and with minimum disruption to myself or my tenants. Marlene,
you were instrumental in mitigating the degree of stress I was feeling and
your sense of humor, emotional support, and great ideas for the open
house showings certainly put my mind at ease. I would like to say a
personal thank you for those touches as I believe these factors
contributed to making the sale of my home a great deal easier.
As a very satisfied customer, I will be highly recommending both of you to
anyone I know who is interested in buying buying or selling real estate,
and I would like to keep in touch with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Amelia Weatherbe
