Born and raised in Gilroy, Derek Essary became involved in the South Bay community at a young age through family members in real estate. Now a third-generation agent himself, Derek attributes his family’s enduring passion and success to one core belief, passed down through generations: Working with a client is a long-term commitment.

Derek isn’t here to make a quick buck and run — he offers his clients the highest level of service and invests in their real estate success for years to come. This outlook has helped him become one of the top-producing real estate agents in South County.

Unique marketing, advanced negotiation, and unparalleled customer service: That’s #TheDerekDifference.

The Derek Difference

Don't put your property in the hands of an obsolete agent who is just going to list it on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and wait for activity. You need a Realtor who has fresh ideas and can apply modern marketing techniques to bring in top dollar on your property.

Unique Internet Marketing

Derek’s years of Silicon Valley internet marketing experience allows him to market your property in creative ways which differentiate it from other homes. When it comes to marketing, the details are important. My marketing includes 3D tours, professional photography, drone footage, custom property websites, and much more.
