DEREK GILLETTE | NANAIMO TOP REALTOR
“I am passionate about innovation. I’m always looking ahead and seeking ways to create a better experience for my clients. If you’re not adapting constantly, you risk falling behind. You have to be comfortable making change and the pressure it brings.”
Early on in his career, Derek realized that real estate transactions had been done the same way for many years and that there was an opportunity to do things differently.
In real estate sales, the motivating metrics of success are typically found in gross sales and number of units sold. But for Derek Gillette, a top Nanaimo Realtor®, his focus is firmly fixed on a different philosophy that has driven his business for more than 30 years.
