DURHAM, N.C. – Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston, the leading real estate company in the Triangle region, is proud to announce the hiring of Real Estate Broker Derek Vereen. A top-producing Triangle Realtor, Vereen joined the residential real estate company’s Durham office located at 6911 Fayetteville Road, Suite 105, to support his clients better.

“We are so happy to have Derek as part of our HPW Durham family,” said Amy Aldridge, sales manager and broker-in-charge of the Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston Durham Office. “As a Durham native, Derek has strong ties to the area. Derek’s love for Durham and the surrounding area make him an asset to the Real Estate Industry, as he truly believes in his community. Dedication and his work ethic are just a few words that make Derek an invaluable resource for his clients.”

The company’s real estate sales office with more than 45 agents and staff, Vereen was impressed with the close-knit setting and the sense of family he felt upon meeting the Durham Team. “I was impressed with CBHPW and knew it was the right choice in order for me to grow my real estate career,” said Vereen. “CBHPW has a more corporate perspective on real estate and the Durham office is location in my hometown where I can still help my family and friends. Another important decision maker for me were the tools and market share CBHPW offers.”

Vereen obtained his real estate broker license in 2015. “My favorite part of my job is the opportunity to learn new things about my craft (real estate) daily, while keeping up with economical trends and increasing that social awareness in my network,” said Vereen.

Born and raised in Durham, NC, Vereen has called the Triangle his home for over 25 years. “I like living in the Triangle because I love the growth and I desire to be an example of what successes living here can bring,” said Vereen. “I like being able to say I was born here and am a part of the current change in the Triangle; defining all odds.”

Vereen is involved with giving back to our community and helping to make a difference. “I sell homes and land to enable time needed to coach kids in public school football and baseball at Roger's Herr Middle school,” said Vereen. “This enables me to live a life worth living by giving back to the youth.”
