Derek Gillette

Derek recently sold our home. He is professional, attentive and experienced. Right from the professional photos, to marketing, to negotiating offers seamlessly and smoothly, he was top notch. From beginning to closing Derek and his team were there for us every step of the way. We have complete confidence in Derek and his skills, and highly recommend him.Andre and Munj Savoie

Derek is absolutely wonderful to work with. As a fellow real estate agent in the USA I can say he is one of the best negotiators in the industry. It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. He really cares about his clients as well as the community and neighborhood he lives in. You definitely want him on your side!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Derek and his team who helped us market and sell my home within a couple of days and above asking price.I was very impressed with the quality of work done and the way they showcased my home in preparing it for sale and getting it out to the market.Once the listing went live, Derek negotiated hard on our behalf to get me a fantastic accepted offer and has worked closely with me through the selling process.I would highly recommend working with Derek and his team of professionals and I wish his business continued success.

Deciding on the best realtor in Nanaimo to represent us was very easy, Derek Gillette and his outstanding team were the only choice. Their market and social media presence, reputation and knowledge of the market is second to none. Right from the beginning , Derek was up front, honest and very realistic and, his prediction of how our house would likely sell was precise. The team were all very approachable and communicated extremely well with us when coordinating viewings, the photographer’s vision and insight into the house was inspired. Thank you once again for making the process so smooth and straight forward.

Derek and his team are highly professional, efficient and courteous.

They make excellent use of technology and data to ensure all decisions are evidence based. We felt very confident in and reassured by their expertise and advice.

Outstanding. Remarkable results in one day and no hassles, no headaches or hiccups. Derek Gillette and his team are extremely professional and make you feel like a professional sports athlete renegotiating a new max contract with their flawless approach to selling your home. Derek Gillette and his team got my place sold the first day for asking price with using a different fresh approach after it didn’t sell for 8 months with a previous realtor. Him and his team also handled any small nuisances involved in the process. Expectations were surpassed throughout the entire process. Every member of his team are tremendous to work with. I would highly recommend engaging him and his team as your realtor for buying and selling any residence. - Chris D.

Derek Gillette and his sales team are what you’re looking for to help you buy or sell a home! They have shown a level of professionalism and ethics which we have not encountered in the real estate world. Derek is extremely knowledgeable and worked diligently to meet our changing needs. Upon our first meeting, my wife and I were sold that his expertise would help us achieve our maximum return. Connie was available for all of our requests at almost any time and showed care and empathy as we searched for the perfect home - which we found! Fiona was a delight and welcomed us and kept us informed and worked with our tight schedule. Jory was kind and helpful as well.We honestly can’t say enough great things about the team and what they did for us! We thank you all for your dedication and hard work to help us find our forever home! We are grateful.

We hired Derek and his team to sell our home on Locksley Place.We were very impressed with the photos and the listing details. On day one of the listing we had many showings, some which were the direct result of his vast lead network. When it came to negotiations there was no pressure, he put our interests first and was very efficient. In the subjects he was able to negotiate a fair amount of flexibility which was not only thoughtful but came in handy after the subjects were removed.We are very pleased that we were able to sell and move on so quickly and would definitely recommend Derek and his team.

Selling a house and going through divorce is tough. Derek and his team helped us navigate some tricky waters. It’s an emotional process which is why it’s important to have professionals with level heads. Derek didn’t give up. He remained calm. His team is hardworking, consistent and pleasant to work with. I’m very thankful and relieved we got through this process.

Well what can I say about our experience in selling our home?A lot! We had made the decision to relocate by finding a home that will put us closer to being mortgage free, so we did not have much time as we had found our future home. We hired a realtor believing we were in the right price market and we would sell fast; however, that was not the case. After a month of only one showing, no contact with our realtor, no ideas on how to sell faster, we made the decision to contact Derek.Derek gave it to us straight! He showed us he has done his homework thoroughly by sharing his expertise in the market. He provided us the true selling prices for us to choose from and the why's. He even saved us from a potential future suing from new owners, that we knew nothing about. Derek understood the short time we had to sell, so he moved fast! He gave us tips on how to prepare our home better, which all resulted in showings on a daily basis.After only one month of listing with Derek and his team, we had two offers that resulted in SOLD"!We highly recommend Derek and his amazing team to get the job done and done right!
