Derek's History and Background

Derek is originally from New Bedford, MA (hence the '508' area code) and now lives in Edgewater, CO. He has a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing and Finance and 5 years of experience in the mutual fund industry. Working as a financial software trainer, a stock research analyst, and mutual fund accountant, Derek has some great skills that translate well into real estate --- but he never even considered becoming a broker until he bought his first house.

​

After purchasing his first condo in a downtown Denver high-rise, Derek found out quickly that he had made the right choice. "Why would I ever rent again? I am paying 25% of my monthly payment into the equity of my house, and paying less per month than when I was renting. I have to help other people achieve the same financial freedom!" And thus, a Real Estate Broker was born.

​

Not only did his decision make sense, but then his property started making money for him in the form of appreciation! There were a hundred good reasons to buy real estate, and a hundred more reasons to become a Realtor.

​

In his spare time, Derek has a lot of hobbies. He is an avid volleyball player and loves skiing the glades at Vail and Keystone. He plays piano and hopes to compose music for video games and films someday (derekchisholm.com). He's written a fiction novel, and hopes it will be published. He's even started a bathroom renovation with aspirations to flip houses --- if it goes well.

​

There's a lot to Derek, but his one and only goal is to represent his clients with the highest integrity, and make sure that he proves to his clients that there are still some quality Realtors in Colorado!
