Derek did an excellent job in helping us finding a new home.

If you're seeking a trustworthy agent, look no further. Our relationship with Derek spans over five years, during which time we felt comfortable approaching him with any requests. Derek came highly recommended, and we can only echo and reinforce those recommendations. My wife, Joy, and I were cautious buyers, valuing prudence. Engaging a realtor was a new experience for us, and we'd previously used Derek to secure rental properties. Derek took us through numerous information sessions and buyer's guides, investing time in understanding our preferences and what we valued in a home. Our relationship extended beyond a mere realtor-buyer dynamic; it became a friendship built on trust. Throughout the process, there was never any pressure to buy. Derek exhibited immense patience and unwavering support at every stage and even after the purchase. When consulting local realtors in our area, we found their advice pushy and often incorrect. None seemed interested in understanding our needs as Derek did. Comparing them to our experience with Derek, we ultimately reached out to him, despite his primary focus being Kitchener/Waterloo. He willingly ventured outside his usual area, investing time to familiarize himself with local insights, hotspots, and valuable information. Derek was always ready to travel at a moment's notice. During the purchase, Derek's dedication was exceptional. He navigated multiple sign-backs and negotiations, tirelessly advocating for our interests, meeting our budget and demands. Even over a holiday weekend, Derek was fully committed and attentive. I wholeheartedly recommend Derek. I couldn't offer higher praise for his professionalism and commitment. - Robert Malcolm

Derek has been our realtor for many years and we love his willingness to roll up his sleeves and do whatever is needed. This time was no exception; he went above and beyond, working hard, offering helpful advice and getting us a great price. He navigated the emotionally intense nature of this sale with sensitivity. He's knowledgeable about the business in general, and this community in particular. We appreciate that he brings his principles to the table. We trust him and highly recommend him. Thank you Derek! - Roz Millard-Martin

With these difficult times, the sale of our house and desire to downsize, seemed impossible . Derek was able to get top dollar for the sale of our house and within hours, found us a beautiful affordable home. He was so patient with our anxiety and stress. Within 3 weeks he accomplished the impossible. We highly recommend Derek.. he listens, straight shooter and goes above and beyond. Always available and knows how to maneuver through this difficult market. Don't hesitate if you are in the same position as we were. dreams do come true.. thanks derek,, Brent and Chris - chris boves

Derek is a remarkable realtor who played a pivotal role in helping us close on our first home. His expertise, patience, and dedication made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From the beginning, Derek took the time to understand our needs and preferences. He tirelessly searched for properties that aligned with our criteria, and he was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance. What sets Derek apart is his in-depth knowledge of the real estate market and his excellent negotiation skills. He ensured that we got the best possible deal while keeping our best interests at heart. Derek's professionalism and commitment to his clients are truly commendable. He guided us through every step of the home-buying process, making sure we were well-informed and comfortable with our decisions. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor for our first home purchase. If you're in search of a reliable, knowledgeable, and dedicated realtor, we wholeheartedly recommend Derek. He's simply the best in the business! - Evelyn Thomas

Derek, I can’t thank you enough for your “above and beyond” level of care I. The selling of my very beloved home. I wouldn’t have trusted just anyone with this major life event. You were consistently caring, responsive, knowledgeable and professional. An excellent negotiator and much better than I at remaining calm under pressure. You’re a trustworthy guy and a true pro at this. Thanks again. I really meant it!! - Krista Weltz

As a first-time homebuyer and a newbie to the housing market in Canada, I honestly felt quite lost when I started looking at properties. But I was lucky enough to have chosen Derek as my agent and he guided me through the most difficult times with great patience, extensive knowledge and a kind heart. Although I eventually had a change in plan and decided not to proceed with a purchase for the time being, I still learned a great deal from Derek and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the KW area. Thank you Derek! - Peiran - Peiran Hong

Being out of province we needed to find and buy a condo without seeing it ourselves. Derek was our 'boots on the ground' and provided us a walkthrough viewing via video. He then worked late into the night to prepare an offer for review early the next morning. And finally, he performed the pre-possession inspection and found a couple of things that we probably would have missed if we'd been able to do it ourselves. Thanks Derek. - Steve

After meeting Derek during an open house in 2020, we were impressed with how Derek presented the house and himself, and from there we decided Derek would be our realtor when we were ready to sell. We made the right decision. From beginning to end, Derek was thorough and knowledgeable about market conditions and where to price our home to have a quick but lucrative sale. We had a high number of showings within the first 24-hours and loads of compliments on the video and pics taken to showcase our home. We had multiple offers and sold within 36-hours of listing, and for 10% over asking. Highly recommend Derek for anyone looking to sell their home. - Kelly and Paul Suggitt

We met Derek via his agent friend whom we went to visit a house for showing. We didn't think we would meet again but he followed up and gave us detailed presentation of what a buyer must consider before buying a house. Derek gave relevant advice of pros and cons of many things in a house as a buyer agent. - Parth Patel

My wife and I had very specific "needs" and "wants" for a house to move to from our past home with our four kids. Derek patiently and diligently worked with us for almost two years to find a house that checked the boxes. He was professional, responsive and thorough throughout the process. When selling our house as the market changed, he repositioned quickly and became more proactive with contacting other agents and engaging with an agent and a potential buyer who bought our home. While it was a stressful process, Derek remained calm and reassuring. We were very happy with the service we received and would highly recommend Derek. - Sal Spitale

Derek was very professional and knowledgeable in every aspect of our home sale. He brought expert advise in staging our home, did all the research needed in order to list our home at a fair market price. The pictures and video were excellent. Derek also provided a check list of what needs to be done prior to selling and what will need to be done prior to closing. He was there to answer any question we had and was available whenever we needed to speak to him. I would definitely recommend Derek to anyone that wants to sell there home. - Corinne Webb

SIMPLY THE BEST. The perfect representation of a true professional. Derek is the best real estate agent to work with, period! He helped us buy our first home in 2018 and sold our current home in 2022 in the Kitchener Waterloo area, in what we can only describe as the most smooth, comfortable, and unbelievably amazing experience. If you’re reading this review, stop, because you’ve found your real estate agent!

As a first time home buyer, I don't think I could have felt as confident in the process as I did if we didn't have Derek. He told us all of our options, walked us through the whole process, gave us resources, told us important points we needed to know, and he told us things that others neglected to tell us. When we asked for more information, he delivered beyond expectations. He was reasonable in telling us what we should expect to be able to buy but hopeful and ambitious to get us what we wanted. He knows the tricks and what to expect when you're looking through houses. He does his homework and makes sure you know everything you need to about the house and the area it is in before you move forward. Derek literally worked miracles and got us our dream house! Not to set high expectations, but in under a week of meeting Derek, we put our first offer on our dream house that we thought was out of reach and ended up getting accepted! He went through hoops and problem-solved along the way to meet all of our needs. He always had our best intentions in mind and was quick to respond to our messages when we needed him. I would recommend him in a heartbeat! - Chelsey De Jong

Derek is an exceptional agent who is highly informative, reliable, professional, and helpful. Today we just sold our property in Waterloo with Derek. His knowledge and expertise helped us to get multiple offers and it was sold over listing. Derek gave us extraordinary service during our home selling experience, he even provided complimentary professional house cleaning services. Derek is one of the best real estate agents in the Waterloo Region. In 2019 & 2020, he was rated “Top Ten Agents in Kitchener”. Absolutely recommend! - Yi Hao

Very happy with choosing Derek as my Real Estate Agent.  He goes above and beyond in working for you, explaining documents and the do's and don'ts of this "new real estate market" we are currently in.  Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home! - Carolyn Regan

Our home-buying experience with Derek was fantastic from start to finish! We initially met him while viewing one of his listings and immediately knew he is the kind of agent we wanted representing our interests. Derek is very professional and knowledgeable. He spent a lot of his time giving us a detailed introduction into the housing market and what to expect before we began our house hunting. Derek has been consistently responsive to all our needs – scheduling bookings and any inquiries we had about properties.  When we viewed properties with Derek, he was always very thorough and pointed out details we wouldn’t have thought to check for on our own.  We truly felt we were in good hands and that Derek wanted to find the right home for us. Thanks to all his assistance and guidance we finally did! He is a pleasure to interact with and we highly recommend his services! - John & Anna

We met Derek when we went to see one of his listings for sale. We had been to see several homes, always just calling the listing agent to show us the house. He was the only realtor that actually took the time ask us questions about what we were looking for and get our contact information. We knew right away that we would work exclusively with him on our search for a new home. He responded quickly to our requests to view houses and forwards any listings he thought might be a good match for us. With his help we were able to secure a home that ticked all our boxes and at a great price. When we listed our home with Derek, he took the time to explain his marketing strategy. He includes cleaners to give your house that extra little sparkle. Most importantly he walks through your house with a stager to give you that outsider's view of your home. The stager moves things (that you ALREADY have) around your home to create better flow and gives various tips. I feel this gave us an edge over other properties. We were so impressed with Derek's professionalism that we referred him to friends. He sold their home and they have since referred him to another mutual friend. Fantastic realtor! - Rhonda Smith

This was our first experience selling our home.  A friend had recently bought a home with Derek`s assistance and recommended him to us.  We knew from the first visit that Derek was our Realtor- he was professional and down to earth. He walked us through the process in a clear manner.  We also liked his marketing ability.  Most important Derek was punctual for all appointments and answered our emails promptly.   We loved the additional touch of having a designer walk through the house with us to provide input on how to prepare the house for sale.  Derek even offered us a professional cleaning service or window cleaning service.  We chose the window cleaning service which added the final sparkle for the house.   We were completely satisfied with the service we received from Derek and would definitely recommend him! - Nil Woodcroft

Derek is a remarkable real estate agent. He takes time to explain everything that you're signing for--making sure all details in a document is clear to us. For both buying and selling, he was there every step of the way and provided us with all the best possible tools & resources that helped us make sound decisions with our new home purchase and prepared us well when we sold our house. We're very fortunate to have met Derek and have him as our realtor. Highly recommend him! - Joefrey and Melanie

We met Derek 3-4 years ago. We were not ready to sell...but his professionalism in just sharing what the market was like at the time, and his soft sell/ genuine care stayed with us. No pressure ever. No hounding us as the years went on...so now, December 2020, when we wanted to sell. We knew exactly who we wanted to take care of us! Connected with Derek on LinkedIn, and he has been incredible with us! Completely understood what we needed, knew how to care for us from start to finish. He is incredibly respectful, honest, and an excellent listener, has the patience to walk us thru all the details at our speed of understanding. Thank you Derek! - Joanne McWade

A pro all the way. We met with 4 agents, and Derek won the day. He was the best prepared for our first meeting and covered all the bases, including his detailed marketing plans, how to prep the home. The house was listed on a Thursday, and sold the very next Tuesday - 6 days later; we had 12 offers and received significantly above asking price. His input all along the way was so helpful to us for making the right decision. Would definitely highly recommend this hard-working, dedicated agent. His strategy and execution was bang ON! Great Job Derek Villemaire! Derek also helped us buy another property and we found the right place and submitted a winning bid, and it only took a little over 1 week. His guidance was invaluable, and greatly appreciated. - Terri-Lynne and John Mach

Derek Villemaire is a very professional and knowledgeable agent. He is very efficient, clear, professional, helpful, and polite. He sold our house within 8 days with multiple offers. Derek communicated superbly every step of the way. He works incredibly hard and answers all your questions honestly and with integrity. From the very start everything was so efficient and ran smoothly. From the initial evaluation, to the advice we received on getting our work-in-progress ready for a quick sale, his service was outstanding, and ranged from 'must-do' tasks to 'suggestions', realistic timescales, and helpful recommendations. It is not easy to sell a house during Covid 19, but Derek’s kindness helped us through it. - Birgitte Robertson

Derek really put in the extra effort to sell my home, his staging and cleaners really know what they are doing also. Despite some really stiff competition from an up the road houshold for sale, he still manage to to get me above asking on my property. Derek is very professional, and knows the market well. - stephan

From the beginning of our interest in selling our house until we finally received the keys to our new home Derek was available whenever we needed assistance or had a question. His ability to properly read the market meant a quick and profitable sale. Also his house knowledge meant we didn't encounter any unwanted surprises when house hunting and we were able to find the perfect property. - Dwight Lewis

We cannot say enough about Derek’s work on the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing house. For the purchase he encouraged us to explore options that we had not really considered, and this ended up being the way to go! He professionally guided us through the entire process including the staging services, preparation for the showings, referrals to any services that we have needed, and he even did some of the handyman work himself! He was very professional and guided us through the process making it all go as smooth as possible. Derek heavily advertised our house, hosted many open houses, and was able to finalize the sale on a very timely basis. He worked with us to make sure that he understood our wants and needs from both a monetary and timing perspective and we were very happy with the outcome. It is our intention to pass on referrals to Derek to all our friends and colleagues when they are in need of real estate services. Donna and Darrel, April 2019 - Donna Morrison
