Derek, a San Francisco native and third-generation Realtor®, has real estate in his DNA. Beginning with his grandfather becoming one of the first Chinese American Realtors in the City (1954), he and Derek’s father ran the single office in the heart of Chinatown for half a century. After graduation from San Francisco State University, Derek embarked on the “family business” and has gratefully made it his lifelong career. His extensive industry network, business acumen, and calm, solutions-driven approach have earned him a loyal following of repeat clients and referrals. Contractors, lenders, and colleagues alike praise his superior communication skills and ability to navigate even the most complex transactions with ease. Derek is deeply committed to the community that shaped him. His contributions include volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, delivering meals for Meals on Wheels, and supporting The Community Housing Partnership (now HomeRise). Derek’s unwavering dedication to his clients and community reflects his passion for both his work and the city he loves.
