With 14 years of industry experience, Realtor Derik Daniels with Greenwood King Properties recently shared these thoughts.

Q: What is your neighborho­od/area of focus?

A: I focus on Inner Loop, close-in neighborho­ods.

Q: Why did you decide on a career in real estate? What were your inspiratio­ns

(or who)?

A: Real estate is typically a career that just finds you. Few people aspire to be a Realtor during grade school and college. My mother had a keen interest in houses and we typically went to look at new-constructi­on homes while on vacations. My uncle was a builder and I really enjoyed seeing his projects as a child. After moving to Houston and looking for a career change in my early 30s, I met many very successful Realtors and it really was a natural fit for me.

Q: How is the marketplac­e now and is it a good time to buy?

A: It’s always good time to buy in Houston. The market has been resilient in Houston; there’s always something to gain in the Houston market — I believe we will see a return on investment over the years.

Q: How would you describe your work ethic and skills that bring you success?

A: I enjoy what I do. I enjoy the people aspect of the business. I love working with builders/investors seeing projects come to fruition, workings with buyers and showcasing the city. I’ve always had a keen interest in Houston as a city and its rich history.

Q: What are some key ways you help your clients during the buying and

selling process?

A: I have intricate knowledge of the city and the neighborho­ods, within the Inner Loop and surroundin­g areas.

My extensive knowledge ranges from Galveston to The Woodlands to west Houston.

Q: How does your company support your sales process?

A: I am proud to be with an old-school, boutique firm, which is locally owned. This is now a rarity in Houston, and it enables the agent, the client, and the company to all a have an intricate relationsh­ip. The leadership is very involved, and the company provides generation­al knowledge of all the neighborho­ods within the city.
