Client Testimonials
My goal is to provide each client with exceptional service, so exceptional that they would gladly recommend me to someone else.
“I recently purchased and then sold another property here in Key West. In both cases I used Epperly and Blackwell, a Berkshire & Hathaway Real Estate DREAM-TEAM. Derek and Jenna were very knowledgeable, and I am super happy I used them for both property transactions. They have local intel of the Key West market, and are liked by many people in this small community. As a client, this can have a huge impact when meeting potential buyers and sellers of properties. Most importantly, I felt like they really worked for me, and were on MY side during negotiations. Super friendly, highly efficient, and uber professional. I strongly recommend using the Epperly & Blackwell team whether you are looking to buy or sell your home. I look forward to doing so
myself again!” — Rachel E. Ligon

"Derek was an expert negotiator when we purchased a duplex in Bahama Village, he worked hard to get us a fair price and it paid off.

"When I was ready to sell my property in Old Town, I knew exactly who I wanted to be my one and only realtor - Derek Epperly - for two reasons: he was a trusted friend from my church and realtor who worked for BHHS Realty, which was the company recommended to me. He recently completed the sale of my property for me and it was a pleasure to have him as my real estate agent. He never left any questions unanswered and always responded promptly either by phone call, text, or email. His personal attention, knowledge of the market, professionalism, and communication of what buyers expect, was key to getting the property sold promptly. My experience working with Derek was outstanding and I will refer any of my friends to him that are in search of a dedicated realtor!” - Pat Gibson
“We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Derek represented us while purchasing a vacation home from afar. We trusted his expertise and local knowledge, as our eyes and ears on the ground. It gave us invaluable peace of mind. Derek is the type of realtor that makes you feel as if you’re his only client, despite his busy schedule. Very prompt in responding to our questions and requests. Professional, knowledgeable and courteous, we would recommend him to anyone. It was a pleasure working with him.” – Todd & Meredith Minga
