About Derek Hawkins

For Derek Hawkins, "REALTOR�" is far more than a professional designation. Instead, it represents a valued partnership with his clients, based on trust and confidence that must be earned, kept, and continually strengthened. Derek earned his college degree at NC State University, but returned to his native Hendersonville where his exuberant spirit about life in western North Carolina is unmistakable. Through his 15+ years in real estate, Derek has acquired a particularly encompassing knowledge base. Owing to his work in new home communities, he guides those looking to build their dream home to that perfect land opportunity, while offering expertise in home design options and custom builder selection. Specializing in the luxury home market, Derek's portfolio reflects the caliber of service that he provides in connecting sellers of exceptional properties with qualified buyers. The recipient of several distinguished honors for his real estate achievements, Derek is most proud of, and humbled by, the kind words that his clients express, and the friends and family they enthusiastically refer to him. A skillful negotiator, Derek overcomes obstacles by adhering to a diplomatic, "think before you speak," approach, where all parties come away respecting the outcome and knowing they have been treated fairly. His philosophy toward the practice of real estate is grounded in the belief that it should be an exciting and enjoyable journey rather than a daunting process! Derek and his wife, Stacey, have three grown daughters. They enjoy involvement in volunteer opportunities around the community. At RE/MAX Four Seasons, Derek has found the best of all worlds for his real estate practice. His clients benefit from the global, technology-driven RE/MAX brand, while knowing that their REALTOR� is with a brokerage that values personalized Main Street-Hendersonville-style service and professionalism in a casual atmosphere that makes the real estate "journey" pleasant!
