About Derek Heppe

Derek Heppe is a full time, full service REALTOR & Broker In Charge of Ace Realty. He’s a Certified Residential Specialist. He helps buyers and sellers with all of their Real Estate needs in the Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas of South Carolina. Prior to opening Ace Realty (In 2009, 2010 & 2011) he was RE/MAX Beach & Country's top selling agent various months and made many new friends along the way. He takes his job seriously and take pride in helping people, whether buying or selling a home or property.

“I grew up in the beautiful area of the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. I started out at a very young age helping my father in construction-building homes, log homes and additions. By the age of 16, my father made me a partner in his company and we worked together for quite some time. At age 21, I formed my own construction company, DNA Builders and specialized in Log Home building. During this time period, there were a number of foreclosed homes that began to come on the market in our area. This is when I became interested in Real Estate. We had a few really bad winters and many of the foreclosed homes needed a lot of work because of ice dams that formed on the roofs that caused water damage. As a builder, I began investing in foreclosures & fixing them up for resale. I enjoyed restoring properties, making money and helping communities become more attractive in the process.

Although I loved the area...as a very active, outdoor person, I desired to live in a warmer climate closer to the beach. So I moved to Myrtle Beach. At first, it was just going to be for visit, but I fell in love with the area and never left! I earned my SC Home Builders License and built a couple homes in Little River(just North of North Myrtle Beach). It was at that time that I decided to go into Real Estate to sell my properties. But my passion for Real Estate took root and I then became a full time Realtor with RE/MAX and than opened Ace Realty and haven't looked back since. I absolutely love my job!”

Testimonials From Clients of Derek Heppe

“Derek was my agent for purchasing a new house in 2011. He was diligent in bringing me to properties that met my narrow criteria and was patient when I was fussy. He helped us through the frustrating process of an attempted short sale and helped me finally select a property in foreclosure that was perfect. When I was unhappy with my own bank Derek recommended another that provided a much better rate and excellent customer service. When it came time to sell my old home I immediately went back to Derek. He made a list or recommendations to help sell the house and then aggressively marketed it and priced it right. I was very pleased to get the house sold in less than two months in a very, very tough market. Outstanding.”

-Mark MacDougal (May 2011)

“Derek is WONDERFUL to work with... We were out of state buyers and "spoke" to Derek via email for quite some time before we were actually ready to purchase. He was quick to answer any email or questions we had. When we came to look at homes he maximized our time and was very attentive to our "wish list" and tried to find homes that met what we were hoping to find. Derek is very professional and always one step ahead... a joy to work with.. He helped us to find our "dream home" in Myrtle Beach and everything went very smoothly. We would HIGHLY recommend Derek to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the Myrtle Beach area. THANKS DEREK !!!!!”

-Carolyn Ketscheck (March 2011)

“Derek was very knowledge with the overall transaction. He was aware of the paperwork needed to complete an out of state purchase. He was very easy going and patient with finding the right house for myself and members of my family as well. He was very quick in responding to any questions or concerns. Derek was very thorough when filling out the paperwork for a condo that fell through. He completed the required paperwork as needed, so we could purchase our current home.”

-Susanne Penza (March, 2011)

“I met Derek online searching the web two years ago. We kept in touch through emails with him sending me lists on homes every week. We established a good business relationship with humor, trust and honesty.

Thinking of the bumps in the road to purchase a house, if he was a double the world would be a better place He made sure the process was understood with all the parties involved. One thing about Derek, he is not a pushy realtor. Derek is reliable, understanding, heartwarming, and smart. He is a person of high integrity and character.

So, Derek through all this testimony, I want to “Thank you” with all my heart, for all your hard work and it is very much appreciated from Mike and I.”

-Michelle and Mike Travisano (November 2010)

Testimonials From Clients of Derek Heppe“My wife and I began looking for a vacation home at Myrtle Beach in the

spring of 2009. After contacting numerous real estate agents in the area in over a year we were at a stand still in our search. Contacts with agents went unanswered or so long between contacts we had forgotten which property we had inquired about until we met Derek Heppe.

It was so heart warming to find a realtor who was not only a person of high integrity and character, but a tireless worker to boot to represent us in our vacation home buying experience. Through countless emails, phone conversations and questions about this or that property, Derek was there for us. He patiently answered all questions we had and constantly kept us up to date on new listings or old listings that had a change such as price reductions, etc. Derek was wonderful all through this process, from the home search, the negotiations, to the final closing; he exhibited true professionalism in every way. Not only did we find a great realtor, we also found great friends!

We appreciate the job that Derek did for us and offer no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who might be looking to find or sell a home in the Myrtle Beach area.”

-Larry and Brenda Fowler, Lancaster SC (August 2010)

Testimonials From Clients of Derek Heppe“From the house hunting at the start to mortgage signing at the finish, Derek was a true guide. I was a first time buyer and in the dark about a lot of things but Derek patiently explained things along the way and at every crucial step he went the ‘extra mile’. His casual, friendly, and caring manner helped tremendously during times when snags and obstacles appeared. Because of the state of the market it seemed like I was required to jump through too many hoops but Derek was reassuring, always prompt with phone calls and emails – truly an advocate! Thank you”

-Jesie Len Gallagher (March 30th, 2010)

“Spider Man says you've done a great job. I appreciated your time and assistance. Thank you.”

"We first considered buying a home in South Carolina after vacationing in different areas of Myrtle Beach for several years. We happened upon Derek Heppe through an online listing for a home he had built and was selling. We weren't quite ready to settle there but kept in touch via email with Derek and several other Realtors for about 2 years. When the right house came along as a foreclosure this year, we called Derek first and have never been sorry we did. His easy mannerisms, informative nature, and thorough work habits made a difficult process much easier. Derek helped us make our offer on the property and then guided us step by step through the whole ordeal. When things weren't going well, he was there twenty four seven by email and phone to make sure we were represented in the best way. When it was time to take a hard ball approach or to back off, Derek gave us great advice and got us through all the inspections, survey, mortgage application, and dealing with lawyers and insurance firms. He told us when each part of the process needed to be done and handled anything we couldn't do from long distance for us by making the right calls or supplying a list of people we could approach to get something done. We hit several snags along the way, none of which were Derek's doing, but are grateful we put ourselves in his hands. We not only have a wonderful new home to retire to, but we've made new friends of Derek Heppe in the process. We would recommend them as a hard working honest team to anyone who is looking for a Realtor in South Carolina."

"Our family’s path to a vacation home in Little River was a rather arduous one, but certainly made easier by Derek. We had a few stringent requirements and Derek advised us very carefully on each topic and reliably provided good listings for us to review easily from our primary home in New Jersey. Eventually, we found the right home but Derek kept working hard to help us get through the home inspection and survey and even helped us find a local lawyer and friendly lender to make our dream a reality. Without question, this would not have happen without Derek’s dedication to his client’s needs. Thanks Derek!"

-Giuseppe and Robin Condemi (November 10th, 2009)

“We met Derek at an Open House...we exchanged contact information and Derek followed up with us. He began to show us houses/properties. Through this process, they began to understand our wants/needs in a property. Through their tenacity and in less than a week, we found our Carolina "dream" home. We made an offer around noon as we were heading home to PA and Derek contacted us at 10 p.m. the same day letting us know that the seller accepted our offer. Through a series of e-mails and phone contacts with Derek, we were able to arrange a mortgage, home inspection, survey, home warranty, transfer utilities to our name, find a closing attorney, etc. With Derek's assistance we found the closing process stress free and complete. Derek has a thorough understanding of the real estate process from conceptualizing buyer's desires/needs through close. The most valuable service Derek offered was providing vendor list for mortgage, survey, home inspection, acquiring utility contacts and photographing the contents of the home we were buying. Derek was excellent at determining our purchasing needs quickly and accurately. We are happy to act as a contact to discuss our real estate experience. We were extremely satisfied. "

-Mike and Louise Scott (October 5th, 2009)

"Derek, being our realtor for the past 5 months, has been excellent. Even though this is our first experience at buying property, Derek has tried to make it the best. I have dealt with a lot of awful business people in the past that do not have the initiative to get the job done in time, but Derek has done everything in his power to help us out and make it go smoothly. He has even gone to the extreme of doing jobs that were not his responsibility. So in the long run I am completely and 100% satisfied with the job that Derek has done with our purchase. Thanks again for all you have done!"

"Letter of Appreciation for Derek Heppe-Realtor

Being deployed in Iraq for almost three years has been a challenge. At times it can be frustrating to attend to my affairs and needs on the home front. Earlier this year my wife (retired Army) and I decided we wanted to find a retirement property in SC. After many e-mails and phone calls to several agents in the N Myrtle Beach area I came across Derek. I had a very positive experience with him from start to closing. He took the time to e-mail me many listings. He set up showings, and shared his knowledge for the areas we liked. Thanks to his tireless efforts and guidance he helped us find the “right” property My experience working with him has been excellent. Mr. Heppe is a consummate professional who is very willing and very knowledgeable. He and his team have done an outstanding job. His assistance was instrumental in making this deal happen in a very tough market. His patience, dedication, and assistance obtaining financing and assuring our closing went as smooth as possible was much appreciated. With your help we are look forward to a pleasant retirement in Little River SC. On behalf of myself, my wife, thanks for a job well done!!!"
