Derek Love, Personal Real Estate Corporation

Having grown up in this industry, I would go with my Realtor dad, Gary Love, to open houses when I was as young as six. His dynamic and endless commitment to clients always stood out for me, and I developed an appreciation for the expertise and master negotiating skills required to be a truly professional Realtor. Not surprisingly, I followed in my dad’s footsteps and became a Realtor in 1992. At the age of 19, I was one of the youngest Realtors at the Vancouver Board of Realtors.

Since then, I’ve completed over 1,000 real estate transactions, while The Love Team has been involved in several thousand sales. I have personally sold homes throughout the Lower Mainland and beyond, from Whistler to Chilliwack. I specialize in Vancouver, Burnaby, the Tri-Cities (Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam) and New Westminster. In 2010 I custom built my own family home, gaining valuable insights and experience in this aspect of the industry as well.

Not surprisingly, most of my clients are referrals who have heard great things about me from their families, friends and co-workers. My clients often comment on my high energy, professional integrity and positive, friendly attitude. They appreciate my rapid response time and personal hands-on approach, as well as benefitting from the expertise of an entire team of realtors. 

I’m always honoured to be trusted with the biggest investment of my clients' lives: their homes. I build life-long relationships with my clients and am fully committed to providing them with the honesty, integrity and personal service they deserve.
