..You know how you spread butter on some hot toast? That's Derek. 'smooth as butter' He took me through the whole process of buying my new home start to finish. Him and his team at Rocket Mortgage were the most proffessional and attentive group I've worked with in a real estate transaction! Thank you Derek, to you and your team!

I cannot even put into words what a great banker Derek is. He is hardworking, passionate about his job, knowledgeable, honest and caring. Even though we didn’t buy a very expensive home, he treated us like a top priority. I was talked into choosing a local bank over Rocket Mortgage by a realtor and family.

He is hardworking, passionate about his job, knowledgeable, honest and caring. Even though we didn’t buy a very expensive home, he treated us like a top priority. I was talked into choosing a local bank over Rocket Mortgage by a realtor and family. I initially tried First Commonwealth bank and had a TERRIBLE experience. They lost me a 15,000 grant and the home I was suppose to close ok due to the loan officers incompetence. I found out a day before closing that closing was postponed. I wasted a weeks vacation that I took from work to move. Then after their mess up they made up lies about my credit report and tried to blame it on that. Defeated I almost bought an RV to live in with my family. I decided to try one last time and went back to Derek at Rocket. I just closed on my new home two days ago. The process was so easy and went smooth. I was supported by the team every step of the way. Derek even lent an ear to listen to my personal problems! He is ALWAYS working!! He deserves a raise and vacation! Anyway, being able to close so easily with Rocket showed me that First commonwealth lied to cover their mistake and their lie about my credit standing almost cost my family a home to call their own. Thank you Rocket Mortgage and especially Derek for making my dreams of being a homeowner a reality. I would recommend this bank to ANYONE. You can personally call me anytime if you have doubts! Derek has my number! Don’t believe the lie that local banks are better!Read MoreRead Less

I've always heard people say how long or tedious the home buying process is, but my experience has been the exact opposite thanks to Derek and my Realtor. I couldn't have asked for a better duo. They've made this process a breeze and in record timing. From my initial call with Derek, it was obvious that he was "seasoned".

I couldn't have asked for a better duo. They've made this process a breeze and in record timing. From my initial call with Derek, it was obvious that he was "seasoned". He was not only knowledgeable but also patient when answering a roulette of questions from my mother and I or simplifying things for us to easily understand. His honesty and "straight to the point" demeanor made me feel comfortable to trust his professional opinion. One of the last questions I had asked Derek during our first call was if it was true that I'm able shop for mortgages within a 14-day window without the multiple inquiries negatively affecting my credit. He confirmed. I had every intention to reach out and schedule appointments with various financial institutions to weigh my options and compare rates, but I never got the chance too because shortly after my preapproval process with Rocket Mortgage, I visited 3 properties with my agent and fell in love with the last home I toured. It was almost 10pm in the evening when I received a call from Derek saying, " I was cooking pasta when I got a text that you made an offer CONGRATULATIONS". I knew then that I had made the right choice, and that Derek and Rocket Mortgage were a one stop shop. 10/10Read MoreRead Less

Thank you Derek! You were very informative throughout the whole process from loan application to close. You laid out all the facts for my questions without being pushy or persuasive. You are very easy to talk to as well, making the our phone calls much more enjoyable.

YOU ARE THE MAN!!! Made everything so easy and explained in detail everything I didn’t understand and wasn’t sure about. Thank you so much Derek from the bottom of my heart. I wouldn’t have been able to get through everything with out him!
