Hear What my Clients Have to Say

"This was an excellent experience. From the first steps, Derek was super responsive, going over to an apartment I had seen on-line and touring through it with his phone so my wife and I could get a look. Based on what we saw, we drove 6 hours to look at it and met Derek the next morning. He was encouraging, providing all the… information we needed to make an informed decision about whether to make an offer. At the same time, he was clear--it was our decision to make. When we decided that afternoon we would make an offer, Derek sat with us to write it up. He was thorough-going and always kept our interests in mind while also positioning our offer to get a favorable response, quickly, from the seller. The listing agent planned an open house over the weekend, which meant there would be no response before then. Over the weekend, Derek stayed in touch with the listing agent and kept us posted, working to read the situation and improve our offer without going outside the bounds we had set financially. Once we won the bidding, he stayed active to help move the contract toward close, informing our lender, bringing in an inspector, contacting building maintenance personnel to get additional information about details, suggesting repair people we could rely on, etc. I could not imagine a better real estate agent than Derek Ahn."

"I am very grateful I had Derek working with me to help me find and buy my perfect retirement home! He knows the northern VA area and markets very well. He is a great listener and always remembered my criteria for what was needed: location, price, size, and condition. There were other preferences I communicated, and thes… e restrictions made it very challenging to find a place that checked all the boxes in this limited choice market. He was very patient during several weeks of searching and stayed in constant contact throughout the process. It took serious negotiations on his part to make the price happen, saving me thousands of dollars. I am so happy with my retirement home and getting through the buying process professionally, quickly and most satisfactorily. Derek knows the real estate business and the art of negotiations!"

"Derek did an excellent job in helping me to secure my 1st property as a 1st time home buyer. He walked me through the process thoroughly, and was always very quick to respond to my inquiries and questions. More importantly, he listened to my "must haves" from the start of the process and helped me to not compromise on certa… in factors that were important to me when we were not finding properties that met my criteria initially. He was patient throughout the process and I did not feel rushed."

"If you are a foreign, first-time home buyer, Derek is definitely the best agent for you. He is professional, patient, and very detail-oriented. He listened to my needs (eg, Feng Shui) and tried to find options that match those. He is very genuine, down-to-earth, and the most diligent agent I have ever worked with. He is alw… ays responsive to my random questions, even though they come in the early morning or late night. I never felt pressured or forced to make any decision. Highly recommend him to be your realtor!"

"Derek is by far the most professional, yet down to earth realtor I’ve met. I have a real estate background and I have purchased a home in the past and have dealt with a really good realtor, but Derek is unmatched. Timely, professional, goes above and beyond with every step of the process. When we were trying to buy a fixer … upper, the next day, he had a GC there. Every home we have visited together, and there have been quite a few, Derek was in the attack/ crawl spaces, basement, didn’t matter how yucky. He had been great with negotiations, it afraid to reach out to other professionals to go above and beyond for his client. I didn’t mention the post closing treatment you have to hire him to see for yourself!"
