About Derrick Ruiz

Derrick Ruiz

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson at eXp Realty of California Inc [email protected]
I started in real estate in 1986 at the tender age of 24. Believe me, it was no cakewalk. I started out with no contacts and my friends weren�EUR(TM)t buying or selling real estate. But I stuck with it and learned the business. Real estate was really my first and only career choice. I�EUR(TM)m fortunate to have found something. I�EUR(TM)ve been through a lot of cycles in real estate. When I started out in 1986 the market was fairly good, but still rather calm. Computers were showing up as dumb MLS terminals. Fax machines were unheard of. The market exploded in late �EUR(TM)88 and �EUR(TM)89. Then in �EUR(TM)90 things went south in a hurry and foreclosures and bankruptcies soared. We limped along until �EUR(TM)96/�EUR(TM)97 when the market finally started picking up. And of course in 1998 the market exploded again and market was white-hot until the peak of 2005 and the start of the decline in 2006. Since then we had a tough several years with falling prices, short sales, bankruptcies, and other turmoil. Fortunately in about 2012 the market recovered and came back bigger and better than ever. APARTMENT BROKER AND EXPERT I have been selling investment properties for the last 15 years. I have extensive experience with small residential income properties, larger multifamily buildings, development opportunities, short sales, probates, vacant land, commercial, rehab opportunities, foreclosures, and 1031 tax deferred exchanges. Most of my work is in Venice Beach and the surrounding Westside. However I have sold property all over LA County. INHERITED PROPERTY EXPERT Do you have an inherited property that you need to sell? I am an absolute expert in selling probate and trust sales. If you are tasked with selling an inherited property I have the expertise to help sell your probate or trust property. BUSINESS AUTHOR AND SPEAKER I have written and published a book geared towards agents called, �EURoeCloud Agent�EUR�. It was written to help my fellow agents by sharing my hard earned knowledge. I am hard at work on my next book. One of the best things about selling real estate in Los Angeles is the incredible people I meet. Many of my clients become very close friends and I hope you will too. The people here are diverse and eclectic individuals with interesting worldviews. Many of my clients are in the entertainment industry, high tech, and the business world. I truly treasure my clients and I hope one day that you and I can work together too.
