Contact UsMy experience with Derek Carkner and the Ryan Donner team was incredible. The enthusiasm and attention to detail from start to finish was outstanding. This was not an easy lot to sell. It was kind of off the beaten track. Other realtors have “tried”, but failed. Most realtors would have opted for something easier, but Derek took on the challenge. He’s creative, optimistic, and persistent. And he’s honest. The closing meeting with the buyer and the team, which included an interpreter who went over every single page of the paperwork, was awesome.
