Success Stories

“Bret was very easy to work with and was a consummate professional. He was very meticulous and returned calls promptly. I would thoroughly recommend using him for your real estate needs.”

– Jeffery Dixon

“Mr. Derrickson’s team was highly accessible during the entire time we worked with him. If we had questions we could call or text at any hour and it was ‘his pleasure’ to answer our questions. His customer service was outstanding!”

– Jenny Furnish

“This is my first experience with a realtor and Bret was outstanding. I am a first-time home buyer and Bret assisted me with finding the perfect home for my family. Bret understands the market and how to find exactly what we were looking for. This was all during the buyer’s market and Bret was able to assist with negotiating with the buyers and we ended up offering lower than asking. My family is very grateful to Bret for helping us find us forever home. ”

– Evin Savickas

“Bret Derrickson is the best! He has been my realtor for the last 10 years. Every time I work with him, he is thorough and professional and great to work with. He keeps me apprised about available appointments and always lets me know as soon as a new one comes on the market. Brett is honest and forthright- no games. After dealing with several other brokers in the Chicagoland area and being disappointed, I felt lucky to find him at Urban Aire Realty. I am thinking about selling my current home and buying a bigger one to accommodate my new family. I am sure Bret will take care of everything I need to make one of the most important decisions we all need to make in our lives. ”
