"I'm not going to tell someone to go to a destination that isn't right for them. I'm not going to sell a house I don't believe in. That's just not who I am."
Before real estate, Derica spent over 16 years in the travel industry specializing in destination weddings and honeymoons, and years in health, wellness, and fitness coaching, always in service of people at their most important moments.

A live look at homes currently on the market in SE Michigan, pulled directly from the MLS.
My husband and I are expecting our first baby, so we knew we were ready to start the search for our forever home. Being first-time home buyers, we had no idea what to expect. Derica encouraged us to get a thorough inspection and radon testing. We found high levels in our basement and now have a system installed so our home is safe. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and cares about her clients on a completely different level.
We were first-time home buyers and had the most superb experience we could have hoped for. Derica and every person on her team exceeded our expectations. They made sure we understood everything step by step and communicated with us all the way. Her response time was typically within 5 to 10 minutes. I recommend Derica to any and everyone; she will not disappoint.
We had an amazing experience from start to finish. She was always responsive and took the time to answer every question we had, no matter how small. What really stood out was how much she cared about making sure both of us truly loved the home we chose. She was patient, understanding, and never rushed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Derica truly went above and beyond as our seller agent. She helped with staging, arranged for listing photos to be retaken when she wasn't satisfied, and we received an offer the day after our open house. She gave thoughtful advice during negotiations and always prioritized our best interests. I definitely spread her name to my family and friends.
My wife and I had the best experience with Derica Wade and Hearts to Homes. She was there for us for over a year until we found the one, then worked very hard to help us get our offer accepted. Her listing and staging techniques got our old house sold in one weekend. She will have your back and always has her clients' best interest at heart. We gained a friend for life.
Derica helped us sell our home and find our dream home before it even hit the market. She was always available with answers on both the selling and buying side. When we ran into hurdles with our buyers, she was ready to problem-solve and find solutions. We would recommend her time and time again.
