Meet Our Team
Derek Mothershead
Founder & CEO
The industry was broken, and Derek refused to leave it there.
Too many agents left to sink or swim, too many clients treated like numbers, too many communities overlooked. So he built a new standard.
Since 2018, Derek has been redefining what service truly means in WNC: uncompromising integrity, absolute transparency, and a refusal to cut corners. He leads from the front, sets the bar for excellence, and drives his team to deliver results that don’t just meet expectations—they uplift every client and strengthen every community he serves.
