About Us:

The Heppe Team

Hello and thank you for your visit. We would like to take a few minutes and introduce ourselves. My name is Derek Heppe and my wife's name is Rebekah. We were both born in Pennsylvania and decided to move to the Myrtle Beach area for several reasons. First of all, we were attracted by the beaches and warm weather.  We've grown to appreciate the area and the people that live here.  It's a great mixture of people, some who have lived here their whole life and others like us who were attracted by the beach.  Another thing we appreciate is the food, dining and entertainment that are only a few minutes away.  We also enjoy outdoor activities such as golf, boating and sports.  All of which you can find here. 

Our goal as The Heppe Team is to provide the best service possible to our clients.  We enjoy making new friends and enjoy helping people reach their goals, whether buying or selling.  We are honest, loyal, hard working, responsible and reliable individuals. 

As a buyer, you can be confident that we will work hard to help you find a suitable property. We strive to listen to our clients needs and help them narrow the search for the perfect property. We will make the buying experience an easy one by helping you every step of the way.  As a Negotiating Specialist, I will use tested techniques to negotiate the best price for you.  We will provide you with comparables and additional details about each property you are interested in.

Recent Testimonials:

"We met Derek at an Open House...we exchanged contact information and Derek followed up with us. He and Rebekah 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!"
 

 -Ashley Arentz & Jessica Brumbles (September 28th, 2009)


"Derek is very good, I would recommend him to anyone."  Were you happy with his customer service? "Yes" Did your buying process go smoothly?  "Yes"  Would you recommend him others?  "Yes"

-Ernest and Elizabeth Kennedy (August 13th, 2009)

"Living at the beach there are real estate agents everywhere but we found the best one online.  Derek Heppe is a great agent and a fantastic person.  He communicated with us very well whether it was a phone call or sending us an email when selling our property in Murrells Inlet.  We were looking for a quick sale and with the economy like it is we were kind of doubtful.  Derek was able to sell our property in less than 2 months!!! Not only did we meet the finest real estate agent ever . . . .we met a good friend.

Thanks for all your hard work." 

-Dennis and Gina Massengail (July 17, 2009)

Thank you."

"SUBJECT:  Letter of Appreciation for Derek Heppe-Realtor

 1.  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. 

2.    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.   

3.  On behalf of myself, my wife, thanks for a job well done!!!"
