A Different Kind of Real Estate Advisor

DEREK J. BRYER
Justin Havre Real Estate Team

 

Who is Derek Bryer? 

Derek Bryer is a Calgary real estate advisor with the Justin Havre Real Estate Team, the #1 eXp team 9 years running, he brings over 20 years of residential construction experience with 15 of them as a top producing outside sales rep. He came to Calgary from Ontario in 2006 and has been an active real estate investor in Canada and the United States since then.


As an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®), eXp Luxury Certified advisor, and Certified Condominium Specialist (CCS) with the Calgary Real Estate Board, Derek brings a combination of designations that directly serve the people he works with. The CCS designation is an examination based certification covering how condominiums are structured, governed and financed in Alberta. This is including the Condominium Property Act, how condo corporations are run, what reserve fund studies indicate about a building's long-term financial health, what estoppel certificates confirm at the time of sale, how bylaws affect how you can use and rent your unit, and how to identify the warning signs of deferred maintenance, underfunded reserves and special assessment risk before you commit. That training helps Derek ask the right questions and understand what the answers mean, so clients buying into a condo, townhome or villa community can make a confident decision, not just a hopeful one.


His style is calm, direct and advisory-led.

    “He is one you need to have conversations with for your questions that you may be carrying. He will direct you and guide you where you can be clear and confident on making big decisions. Ask and you shall receive clarity.”

    RUSS HAYCOCK

    “Derek was amazing to work with through the search and eventual purchase of our home. He spent as much time as needed to understand our lifestyle and the type of home that was perfect for us. I would not hesitate to highly recommended Derek!”

    RYAN DAMM

    “When I started looking for my first home, I felt overwhelmed with the complexity of the real estate market. However, when I started searching for homes with Derek Bryer, the home buying process felt straightforward and understandable. I especially appreciate how familiar Derek was with building materials; he had excellent insights regarding the roofing material and its hail resistance. I also found his recommendations during the CMA incredibly useful. I gained a better understanding of the value of the type of home I was looking for, and as a result I was able to negotiate an offer well below the asking price. I absolutely recommend Derek to anybody looking to buy their first home.”
