Born and raised in the Grand Rapids area, I have a good understanding of what West Michigan has to offer. I graduated from Jenison High School, went to Grand Valley State University and got an education degree in mathematics and physics. I taught for 5 years before I decided to leave the education system and got my real estate license in 2019. I joined a small, boutique real estate brokerage where I learned all the ins and outs of real estate. Averaging 25 families served per year, I worked my way up to being a top 10% producer in West Michigan in 2023. By putting my clients first, I have continued to exceed their expectations and help them make smart real estate decisions. I currently live just outside of Standale with my wife Sarah, daughter Lily, and son Braden. We purchased our forever home in 2022. When I'm not showing houses and meeting with sellers, I enjoy working in the garden, smoking delicious meats, and am still active in the water polo community. Now with the power of a global real estate enterprise, I'm looking forward to serving even more families. What can Derek Zokoe and Century 21 Affiliated do for you≠ Stay tuned to find out.

Derek was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with every aspect of the buying and selling process of our home! I would argue Derek went over and beyond helping us with every challenge we faced or question we had. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone!

Michelle Bunton, Muskegon, Michigan
Derek was thorough from the get go and took me to see a variety of houses to get a feel for what I needed. He was extremely patient and realistic with me, which I needed when it came to price and location. Because of his attention to detail, he was able to get a viewing of the house I purchased on the very first day it was on the market and we were able to make an offer that day, which was tremendous.
I would definitely recommend Derek to anyone in need of an agent. He is the absolute best!

Mike & Dawn, Wyoming, Michigan
Derek helped us in so many ways. The whole situation was meant to be. Derek even had the patience when we started getting cold feet, to give us time to reflect before we moved forever with such a huge life changing event. Derek did a wonderful job and we would recommend him to anyone.
