The Derrick Monroe Group Lakes Area Realty

I have lived in the Rockford community since 2006. Right away when living here you immediately notice Derrick's Real Estate practice with the bold black and yellow colors. When he got that truck…You couldn't miss him! As years went on, I noticed Derrick's traditional marketing transformed into building community relationships and giving back. Derrick has a consistent presence on social media, offering advice to others looking for housing or selling and lifting up the small businesses of the community. He gives them the platform they didn't once have just because of the business relationship he works so tirelessly to maintain. Derrick shows up in other ways too through donations, fundraising, and giving back. I think what really sealed the deal for me was this past year when he offered to give free car mechanic lessons to any kids/parents in the community that wanted to come and learn and didn't have the means to be able to that themselves. Derrick believes in working hard and learning new things. He used his network to obtain a couple vehicles to be worked on. Then arranged to have them garaged, lifted and ready for the kids. The feedback from the experience was wonderful. He cares a lot for this community, his whole team does, and they show it every single day. Any realtor can have a huge billboard and market until it's cringeworthy. Derrick is different because he shows up in genuine form when the community doesn't expect it! From the start of the listing, professional photos, the kindness of his support staff, and Derrick’s hustle to close timely and efficiently was more than I could have ever hoped for! Well Done Derrick Monroe and Team!

What can I say. What an amazing team!. We have lived in our home for 27yrs. and decided our next phase in life was to sell and move. The Monroe team went above and beyond to take care of us. They listened to our wants and did a great job getting us into the perfect home. Anne, Derrick, Dorothy and Ron, Thank You!. You guys are the best of the best!. Thank you!. We Love you guys😊

Derrick Monroe & the entire team at DMG are the absolute best to work with. I've bought two homes & sold one with Derrick & his team. His knowledge of buying & selling homes is hands down the best. I know Derrick personally & he's very busy, but you would never know it. When dealing with Derrick it's as if I was his only client. He goes above & beyond to make sure my family & I got the perfect house for us. I would recommend Derrick & Team DMG to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Derrick and his team epitomize the "Professional" aspect of the term Real Estate Professionals. They do their jobs extremely well and take the privilege of being a realtor for their clients very seriously. The best part is that they also make it fun!

We have worked with the DMG team two different times, which I think speaks to the trust level we had with them. Derrick has great market insights based on his years of experience, but also because he pushes himself to continually learn.

He is extremely well respected and connected in the community, not only because of the value he brings professionally, but also because of the passion for helping others that he shares via various community service activities.

We highly recommend Derrick and his team!

Derrick and Anne were wonderful to work with in purchasing our new home! Our first contact with them was during their vacation and they were still promptly responding to emails, if that tells you anything about their commitment to their clients. They definitely went above and beyond to help us find a fantastic home despite competing in a very challenging market (and at a very difficult price point for market availability). I've no doubt that we would not have gotten into our new home (that we love!) without their experience, great negotiating skills, and connections in the real estate world. Ron was also fantastic to work with on financing and it was really nice to have their team all in one place, working on things together. Would 100% recommend them!
