Grayson and Derrik were a true pleasure to work with during the purchase of my Townhome in Jeremy Ranch. True professionals who were very helpful especially since I was living out of the area while closing the transaction. Can't say enough great things about them.

Weve worked with Derek and his team on a couple of homes where, as a remodeling contractor, we were performing due diligence on behalf of a buyer while he represented the seller. He is consistently prompt in providing information and answering questions, helping ensure our clients can make well-informed decisions. His professionalism and responsiveness make the process smooth for everyone involved.

When the time came to sell my luxury home in Park City, Utah, first I researched to identify the most successful ranking Realtor in the area. Derrik's degrees in business finance and management put his knowledge and skill levels significantly higher and broader than other realtors. He is the best realtor I've come across in my dozens of residential and investment real estate buys and sells.
Derrik really listened to my specific needs and immediately went to work, efficiently producing results in a very short period of time.
He quickly and professionally responded to every communication. He and his talented support team's abundant helpfulness and resourcefulness made the process smooth and easy. ...And it was a pleasant experience thanks to Derrik's patience and unfailingly cheerful outlook. Also of note, Derrik is differentiated from competitors by his one-day listing guarantee that allows listing agreement cancellation after just a day if not happy for any reason. (In contrast to others' standard one year locked-in contracts). I confidently recommend Derrik for all your real estate needs.

Perseverance would be an understatement in describing Derricks reliability in working w/ me. W/ one investment property already under my belt, in Old Town, another was desired. Initially starting out w/ this one objective, to find life throwing me a curve ball w/ a minor health issue, all was put on ice, including me. Once I was back up and running, Derrick was present, not missing a beat. Basically, to start over.
I can't thank him enough for his patience, knowledge and sense of humor..and 0 pressure. We fairly quickly managed to get 2 properties closed, which w/in those two were some unexpected and unnecessary challenges. Once again perseverance prevailed. These closing would not have happened sans Derricks tenacity. While I hope to be two and counting w/ Derrick, I hope more to be a reliable referral source. He so deserves every opportunity.

We came to Park City to ski 2.5 years ago. I went online to look at houses. I found Derrik and we had a long chat. I told him I was in no hurry but after 6 trips and many showing we finally closed on a house and he was with us every step of the way. 880 days from meeting him to close and NEVER felt rushed and he always showed us whatever we wanted to see. His local knowledge was invaluable but you have to trust him but all his advice was spot on in the end!

Derrik is an absolute pleasure to be with. We visited Park City, for the weekend and Derrick made sure to assemble all the properties we were curious about into one touring book. He showed as around making the most out of the limited time we had in Park City. We will definitely work with Derrik again in the future!

A friend recommended Derrik and I'm so grateful! He made selling my house as stress-free as possible (even during COVID) and helped me understand everything along the way, which was really important to me. In our first meeting, he understood my goals and throughout the transaction, he achieved them. If I ever move back to the Wasatch Back, he is one of the first calls I'd make. I HIGHLY recommend working with Derrik and would be happy to do so again.

Derrik Carlson
Is one of the best Realtors I have ever worked with. Our move to the area and purchase of a home was a challenge. We were building a home in Midway UT and leaving in Denver CO which meant that we had to rely on Derrick much more than if we had been local clients. Derrik always responded to our emails and text and were our eyes when we need some thing checked. He really extended himself and was our advocate.

It started when I did a google search for Park City Utah properties, saw a house I liked and it was an ad listed by Derrik. He contacted me by email, I told him what I was looking for and that I'd be in Park City 6 months from then to look at properties. During that six months he sent me a number of houses that fit my criteria and when we arrived we met him, liked him immediately and started looking at houses.
It took us three more trips to find the perfect house, but find the perfect house we did! Derrik is friendly, patent, funny and knows Park City real estate. It was a fun, easy, delightful experience. Derrik is the best!

As a former realtor, I have an insight into the business and had worked with many realtors of varying ability. On our initial contact by phone, Derrik asked probing questions, but intently listened to our description of what we were looking for in a Park City/Deer Valley home. Within 5 minutes he had me pull up on my computer a home that he thought matched our description - it was spot on. Derrik is everything one could want in a realtor: smart, integrity, high business sense, honest, reliable, knows his market like the back of his hand, and most of all, a genuinely nice person who makes you comfortable throughout the process.
Upon visiting (we flew in from Ohio and had one day to look), we saw virtually the entire Park City/Deer Valley and surrounding areas, almost 80,000 sq ft of real estate in one day! BTW did I mention the man has stamina! We would never consider working with anyone else.

Living in New Jersey and trying to purchase property in Park City presents logistical challenges. Once the property is found, the real fun beginsmortgage, inspections, engineers, and of course deadlines. Our purchase would not (could not) have happened without Derrick. We bought a house and made a friend.

Only five-star review I have ever given to a real estate professional. I build and sell homes for a living. I was a very tough client for Derrik. Demanding, short-tempered, pessimistic and genuinely unimpressed with agents in general. Derrik was a GAME CHANGER! Since then, he has become a trusted adviser and a go-to source for me and my clients. He is knowledgeable, predictable and dependable but most impressive is his work ethic.
No time was a bad time to talk and when I asked for information, it was typically delivered within a 24 hour time period. He was actively involved in my listings and drove traffic to my project site time and time again. Derrik is one of the most level-headed and thoughtful agents I know. He has never let me down and can't be recommended highly enough.

We recently used Derrik Carlson to sell our home that we have lived in for the last couple years. Derrik helped us purchase this home in 2013 and we were thrilled with it these last two years. After careful consideration and scouring the market, Derrik helped us make the right choice to build. We could not have been happier with his commitment along the way to keep us informed and happy with our transaction.
Two years later we just recently sold this home and again Derrik came through for us. He was able to help us prepare the house to best be listed, and he did not leave out even the slightest detail. This translated into us getting top dollar for the sale of the home. When our first buyer fell through, Derrik immediately had a backup in the works and we were back under contract the next day. Two of the best qualities we found that differentiated Derrik from the others were his attention to detail and his response time.
We never felt left in the dark, and we always knew Derrik would respond to our calls and e-mails on time. The closing (and purchase) on this home was painless and we will continue to use Derrik's services for each home decision we make!

I have worked with Derrik recently on the sale of my property in Park City, Utah and wanted to let people know my experience. Derrik was a pleasure to work with. He made it an easy transition of selling my house. He also helped get the house ready for showings since I now live in Delaware and was not able to be out there to do it myself. Derrik did a wonderful job and paid close attention to details. He was really looking out for my best interest and to get me the best deal. I would highly recommend Derrik to anyone buying or selling a house.
