Derek Anderson is a true real estate professional. We are from the Boston area and were looking for a second home in Naples. Derek quickly and effectively assessed our needs, dreams and price range. He shared several properties and ideas with us online to get a good handle on what we wanted. By the time we arrived in Naples, all appointments were made for a two day visit. By the end of the weekend, we had made a purchase. Even more important to us was the incredibly efficient and accurate way in which Derek handled the offer and closing processes. His attention to detail made our entire experience perfect and stress free. I would recommend Derek to anyone. He is a top notch, enthusiastic and detail oriented guy with a positive laid-back style that gives you the freedom to think carefully about your decision. Loved him!read more

I want to thank Douglas Olmsted for his help in finding me the right properties. On two separate occasions, Douglas found exactly what I was looking for without showing me a bunch of properties that didn't fit my criteria.He was very helpful anticipating the do's and don'ts of each purchase. I took it for granted that all Realtors were that good until I moved out of state and had to use another agent. Now I have a greater appreciation for his professionalism and expertise.read more

Douglas Olmsted is a phenomenal agent. He has represented us several times as both a buyers and sellers agent. On one occasion he was instrumental in getting our property sold when he assisted the buyers’ in increasing their appraisal for their loan. He noticed the errors in the appraisal whereas the buyers’ agent was content with letting the sale fail. On another occasion he was tireless in finding our dream bay front property. He realized we ultimately wouldn’t be thrilled with the property we had originally targeted. We will continue to use him and White Sands for all future real estate transactions.read more

Derek Anderson is a top notch agent. I am an agent in Michigan and I was searching for a stellar agent to help my client sell her condo in the Naples area. I spent endless hours researching agents in the area, making phone calls, etc., and then I found Derek... I felt more than confident he would serve my client best. And sure enough, he did just that! He sold my clients condo in less than a month for a price she was proud of. I personally validate Derek Anderson is an above average, way more than average, agent. I highly recommend him for any real estate purposes.read more

We lucked out finding a professional like Derek Anderson. Our family had been vacation in Naples for several years and we finally decided to buy a condo. After making an inquiry, Derek promptly called and followed up with a great balance of not being pushy but wanting to help in any way he could. Other agents that called us came and went. Derek stayed the course and believed in our situation and commitment to buy. Throughout the process, he was the consummate professional and advocate for our cause. As a result, we actually enjoyed the experience - one that could have been stressful without his calm and easy nature. We highly recommend Derek!read more

We were out-of-town buyers and looked around before interviewing and choosing Derek Anderson as our agent to represent us in seeking and purchasing a condominium in Naples. We were extremely pleased with this choice as our experience was excellent in all regards. Derek was energetic, responsive, and served as our advocate throughout the process. He was especially good with communication, emailing, calling or texting nearly every day to keep us up to date. He has a warm and pleasant demeanor and was easy to work with. Although he is busy and sells a lot of real estate, you will feel as if you are his only client. We could not be happier with his representation and recommend him highly- would give him six stars if the scale could be extended.read more

We recently bought a condo on the ocean in Naples, and worked with Derek Anderson. Derek did an exceptional job and we would highly recommend him! We did know Derek before hand, and he came highly recommended. We live in the Midwest, and wanted a condo on the beach in Naples. Derek made the process of finding the right property extremely easy. He did an excellent job researching different properties, and educated us to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the different areas and properties in and around Naples. We flew into Naples on a number of weekends, and Derek would pick us up. We would then tour many properties in one or two days in a very efficient manner. After reviewing everything on the market that met our needs, we settled on a property. Derek helped us negotiate a fair price based upon market conditions, which ultimately the buyers accepted. He also took care of numerous other details, including finding appropriate inspectors and contractors as needed. Many real estate agents "dabble" in real estate and don't treat it like a profession, or they are constantly just trying to get you to buy something to get their commission. We never felt like Derek was trying to pressure us in any way, and he only wanted us to find the right property. He often would recommend against certain properties due to negative things he was aware of about the property or the area, that we weren't aware of. Derek truly handles his business as a professional, and takes exceptional care of his customers. We could not have been more pleased with Derek, and we would recommend him highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in Naples, Florida.read more
