Fantastic experience: I live in California and Derek helped me with purchasing land in Prescott. He was very efficient in handling all of the paperwork necessary to complete this purchase. He was recommend to me by my sister in law that lives in AZ. He was very warm and personable, and i would highly recommend his assistance with any real estate needs.. Scotty Murphy
Fantastic experience: Derek knows the area well (lifetime resident) and pays attention to the details. Calls back immediately when needed and works hard for his buyers - if there were ten stars available his rating would be ten stars!!! We found an awesome home with Derek, he was recommended by a close friend and he exceeded our expectations!!!

It was such a pleasure to help you in your home search. I pray that this home brings you guys a lifetime of joy and blessings. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful journey.
God Bless
Fantastic experience: I live in California, and had a plot of land in Prescott AZ which I needed to sell. I had already listed the property with 4 different agents, all with the same outcome - Zero communication, and not one offer. I was just about to give up when I ran across some positive reviews on Prescott Realtor, Derek Nanke. I decide to give it one last try, and listed the property for sale with him. Derek was exceptional. Living out of state was intimidating, but Derek made the process effortless. He was always willing to go above and beyond. He was incredibly communicative, and always available to take my calls. He continually answered all my questions while keeping me thoroughly informed throughout the process. When asked, Derek always gave his honest opinion about each offer that came in. His negotiations with interested buyers was always swift, and his strategy during the negotiation phase was both helpful and impressive. He truly had my best interests at heart. I am so incredibly grateful that I found Derek, as he was the one to get the job done when others had failed. He truly cares about his clients, and it shows. You will not find a more Patient, Personable, Hard working, Professional and Honest Realtor. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone looking to buy/sell their home or property. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Thank you so much for this incredible review. You were such a joy to work with and I’m so pleased that I was able to get this done for you!
God Bless
Fantastic experience: Derek Nanke is a resourceful, honest, diligent, and thoughtful professional realtor. We moved from out of state and selected him after calling on a listing he presented in The Ranch in Prescott. After answering our numerous questions via phone, we relocated and he showed us the property twice-4 hours total. We didn’t purchase that house; however; we decided to seek his representation on a future purchase-despite the fact that we had a friend/realtor in Phoenix who was willing to offer her services for free. Derek was aware of this fact while he showed us his listing. His main focus was getting the listing sold for his client who he put first. The kindness he expressed and his willingness to do whatever it took to get the job done lifted our spirits. We knew he was our guy. We were not disappointed. We found the perfect house for our needs and the process was a breeze. He has contacts for every trade, and service plus those relationships are cemented in trust and experience build over his lifetime in the Prescott area. Derek is a “win win” guy in the negotiating process. He provided us with cogent evidence on the market which avoided any unnecessary drama or gamesmanship working with the sellers. We are grateful we found Derek and recommend him without reservation.
Kim - A it was such a blessing to help you and Dan! I hope that the bond we created during your purchase continues into a life long friendship. I appreciate your kindness and willingness to trust me as your agent. I’m grateful we were able to find you an amazing home here in Prescott.

Fantastic experience: Derek was phenomenal to work with throughout the entire process.

I would personally recommend Derek to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the Prescott area.

Fantastic experience: Derek was really wonderful to work with. My mom needed to sell her house so she and my dad could move closer to my sister for medical care. Derek was so patient. He walked my mom through all the details, made himself available at all times, and worked around her schedule/their medical limitations in showing the house. He never hurried her questions and always looked to make it the best experience for her with the least amount of stress. He even found a buyer before the house was listed on MLS! We would all HIGHLY recommend Derek!
It was an honor and a blessing to be able to assist you with the sale of your parents home. I truly appreciate your kind words, thank you.
Wishing you nothing but the best and many blessings.

Fantastic experience: Derek Nanke has always stood out to me to be an outstanding Agent throughout our community. As a home inspector, I met Derek several years ago and have seen his interaction with his clients. It is very clear to me that he focuses in on what exactly they are looking for in a home and goes out to pursue that. You can see that his attention is in the details. Not only in the home he is locating, but throughout the process. Derek loves our community and has great family history here. I know from my own conversations with him that he cares about his clients, grows friendships with many of them and would be an asset to any client looking to buy or sell a home in our beautiful community.

I thank you Krissa and hope you and the family are doing well.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I dragged Derek all over Prescott and Prescott Valley in search of that perfect home. Derek is very knowledgeable and friendly, and we saw more houses than I can remember. He went to bat for us in the negotiating phase and didn't let the other realtor stomp all over us. Very much appreciated. I'd use Derek's services again without thinking. Rick and Laura Stephens, Prescott Valley.

Thank you Jennifer. It was my pleasure to help you and your family
Fantastic experience: I was an out of state buyer looking to buy a second home in Prescott Valley. After being ignored by several agents, Derek was the only one who responded out of all the agents I tried. I let him know I was not ready to buy at that time and that it would be 6 months to a year before I was ready. And I wanted someone who knows the area well and is willing to answer my questions about the area and homes as they came up. He was patient and answered all my questions promptly and honestly over the years time. When it came time for us to visit the area for the first time he volunteered to show us around for 2 days. My wife is disabled and on the first day Derek helped me take care of my wife’s needs when her blood sugar went low. And after that he made sure she was as comfortable as possible the rest of the day and on the second day. I could not have asked for a better agent and friend. We eventually did buy a home in Prescott Valley using him and we are excited to be moving to such a beautiful area. Since that time we have stayed in touch and we are grateful to Derek and his wife June for all the help they have provided to us before we move there. I could not have asked for a better experience and now we have a new family to add to ours. In Hawaiian we call them Ohana.
Thank you Dave. Your compliments are very heart warming. It was truly a pleasure to help you find the right home.
Fantastic experience: Derek is awesome to work with. Goes above and beyond to help find your home needs. I definitely recommend!

Thank you JP! You and your family were amazing to work with!!
