About Us

Having spent most of his life around the custom home-building industry with his family, Derek learned the ins and outs of land development and construction. To this day, Derek still builds houses with his own hands. Brianna, too, grew up around real estate and properties, gaining valuable connections and knowledge she didn’t know would eventually serve her clients. Growing up this way, they learned to love the land and its people. And, as one client put it, they “seem to know just about everyone in Blue Ridge,” from contractors to landlords to local officials.

Though, in hindsight, real estate might seem like the most natural vocational fit for them, it was not their first calling. In fact, before they started pursuing the real estate business, Derek and Brianna had spent most of their adult lives working together in pastoral ministry at a local Blue Ridge church. And they’re glad they did! Through all the various struggles and triumphs of ministerial life, they learned a life lesson that they simply cannot forget. It is a truth that has become the foundation for everything they do in real estate and beyond: people matter most.
