About Derek Pretlow III

Find out more about me?
I am a born and raised New Yorker. I have had an eclectic career & varying experiences in the private, public, and non-profit sectors. During those times, I have gained skills like being highly organized, a great communicator, and problem solver, just to name a few things. In real estate I have already achieved, having real estate investments valued over 4MM, being a property manager for larger real estate films, and have done over $1.5MM in sales as an agent so far. I plan to continue to grow and have many goals to make that happen. 
A couple reason why I became an agent is becouse I love architecture, and historic architectural elements the most, like crown molding, woodwork, gargoyles on buildings, ect. Seeing that on properties is just exciting. Also I already have real estate is in my blood, my grandma and aunt were successful agents for over 20 years in New York. And lastly real estate can have one of the greatest effects on people's life, and can change everything. For example I helped my mom find her home, and she was a longtime renter. She has always been powerful to me, but when she finally had a place of her own, her personality and pride in herself, 10X, and went to another level. If I can help make other people feel empowered in any way like that, then that is the most important thing to me, and is the greatest award.
Real estate is a very fast paced business, and with the right agent it can be one of the greatest experiences of your life, or the worst. As an agent it's my job and my mission, to help you reach your goals, the best way possible. That could be to help you find a temporary rental, find your dream home or investment, sell your old home so you can find new places and start a new chapter, or many more reasons. 
Reach out to me or one of my team members today so we can help you start that journey, and get you where you need to be!
