Hey friend! Thanks for watching. I hope this info was helpful. If we can help you with your real estate needs simply reach out to me.
About me:
Real Estate Professional (16 years experience)
Derek comes from humble beginnings. Raised in the Temecula area until the 8th grade when he lost his father. After the loss of his father, his family lost their home, cars, their small family business failed, and they were left with nothing and homeless. Derek's mother moved them to the High Desert to live with her family. Derek's mom then worked 40 hours a week at a laundromat and 40 hours a week at a local video store as she went on to work 80 hours a week for years to come.
Derek was the new kid in High School, just lost his father, dirt poor and felt helpless watching his mother struggle to pay the bills. Derek started working multiple jobs right away and has never stopped.
Out of these struggles, Derek's mental toughness was developed. Combined with a burning desire to help people and be the best he can be, Derek quickly became #1 in his office, #1 in the High Desert, #1 in Southernmost California and then #21 in the Nation for Century 21! Derek personally sold 138 properties in 2018 and 1,000+ in the last 14 years! Derek is currently the Team Lead for the #1 Team in the High Desert "De Ville Core Agents Team" at Realty ONE Group Empire.
Derek has revolutionized the real estate industry with powerful systems and people that provide clients with an experience that has proven to be out of this world. Despite Derek achieving financial success, he is most proud of helping people. This includes his clients and the other great real estate professionals that he works with. Derek loves to hike, fish with his young son, be silly with his daughter and continues to "date" his wife.
Now, as a successful businessman and industry leader Derek has stayed true to his CORE values. Derek is first and foremost a family man, community contributor and a man that loves to serve people.

[@ladawnwarren8570]

Great video! I just moved from Los Angeles to Victorville and I love it!! Before moving I had been looking around in Apple valley & Victorville fir a few months. Wanted to get out of Los Angeles for so many reason! Love The high desert awesome sunshine, air quality, streets are cleaner, parking is good , housing is cheaper compare to Los Angeles.

[@DerekDeVille]

Thank you for watching! I'm so happy that you are happy. If you have any real estate needs or really anything related to a house like plumbing, landscaping, roofing, or insurance I have great contacts (I have no financial benefit). Hope to meet you someday!

[@ChiRusNkFUSA]

Is there a way I can speak to you? Because I’m also from LA and wants to move to Victorville. I would love to know more details

[@fierroantonio7]

Hello, I am in the middle of buying a home in Victorville, I’ve watched previous videos about areas being ghetto and crime, I would assume in some areas of course like every where else. Is that true about crime and many ghetto areas ? Thx

Hello. My friend hope you are doing well and the family. Lived in Victorville for 20 years and love Victorville. AND I MISS IT A LOT.

Just moved from Long Beach to Victorville and I love it so far. I was coming back and forth since May of this year and glad I made the move. Not having neighbors close enough to hear them is a major plus for me. Plus I have parking... try finding parking in Long Beach or LA.... Thanks to my realtor Angelica Bonilla and Lender Julie Bulger for making it happen and Derek for all the videos that you post as well.

[@DerekDeVille]

Right on! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy to hear that you had a great experience with your Realtor and Lender. More great people in the industry is a good thing for everyone.

Was it difficult to adapt? I am considering moving but I am worried about the unknowns 😂 I think my main concern is I frequently travel to Mexico and I’ve heard the cajón pass is bad but of course people have different perspectives.

Desert. Crime. Trash. That’s all that there is.

[@OrthodoxAtheist]

I guess if you're only looking for things to complain about, you're going to find it. The desert gives us some beautiful sunsets, and I like the literal zero chance of wildfires burning my house down. Crime is everywhere, but I've experienced less her than when I lived in Redlands down the hill. As for trash... you still living here? :D Sure, people like to dump in the desert. We'll get a handle on it eventually.

[@DerekDeVille]

@nismo510 I believe San Bernardino Couty is the easiset county to get your CCW in...that's a huge plus IMO.

Lot's of warehouses are being. built (millions of sq ft) which will create even more jobs. It's windy year round and in the 100's Jun-Aug...maybe into early Sept. Does that help?

Can you help me find a low rent apartment in Victorville I used to live there but they went up on my rent and I had to move now I'm still looking I'm homeless I need a place to stay please can you help me

[@DerekDeVille]

Hello. I'm so sorry to hear about your current condition...I've been there in my life. I don't handle any rentals and I know that market is extremely hard. Your best bet is to have an application in with the major rentals companies like VIP and to call them daily to see what new inventory they have. Stay positive and work diligently and this will pass. Sending you the best.
