DERRICK A BANKSLeasing Specialist and Property Manager

A personable professional, an effective communicator, a strong negotiator, and a creative problem solver who delivers the highest level of service and personalized attention to each client. I am a native New Yorker, born and raised in Brooklyn, constantly studying the ever-changing Queens real estate market, to accurately advise my clients confidently and successfully in making their future investments.

Whether you are seeking a home or investment property or selling/renting an apartment, Derrick brings a very organized, analytical approach to your transaction. As a coordinator and legal liaison in the Queens Supreme Court, I'm trained to focus on details. I also understand that real estate is a very emotional undertaking: therefore, I spend a lot of time educating my clients to help them feel comfortable that they are making a well-informed decision.

My Real Estate philosophy is; Don't make an emotional decision, make a well-informed decision. There are many factors to consider when purchasing a home, and you can benefit from covering all angles before making a purchase. Choosing the right Real Estate Professional can make a huge difference in feeling like you settled versus being truly happy. My first step as your Realtor is to meet with you and develop a comprehensive plan in an attempt to meet everything on your wish list. Building relationships is the foundation of this business and that is why I take the time to fully understand my client's needs.
