Rising from three generations of real estate professionals, Derek Heilbrun was raised in the industry, upholding high standards of honesty and integrity while bringing a contagious passion and enthusiasm to every transaction. Whether helping residential buyers and sellers, using his expert knowledge of 1031 exchanges to facilitate sensitive commercial deals, or dipping into his property management experience to offer sage advice, Derek reinforces his reputation for reliability, punctuality, and knowledgeability, taking pride in helping elevate his clients to their real estate goals.

Derek grew up in Burbank, accumulating insider knowledge of the Greater LA area. He comes from three generations of real estate professionals. The seed was initially planted when his grandfather, who escaped Nazi Germany as a teenager, fought alongside US forces before immigrating to the States after World War II. Recognizing the importance of building generational wealth, his grandfather acquired properties in the LA area while becoming a top-producing REALTOR® and broker. Derek proudly acknowledges that his grandfather’s inspirational story is why he’s an agent today.

Derek’s other passion, music, has found him working as a singer/songwriter in his free time. He loves to travel with his wife and spend time with their three cats. In addition, he enjoys cooking and doing weekend food pop-ups, playing chess, taking acting classes, and prioritizing an active lifestyle.
