About Derrick

Derrick lives by the 12 hour rule.  His golden rule for building relationships is to treat everybody as if they just have 12 hours left to live.  When you meet somebody and you treat them this way, it's amazing how genuine and sincere a person can be.  Over 90% of Derrick Stretch Realty Incs. business comes from repeat clients or referrals which helps us serve 170 - 200 families per year with award winning service.
