Sue and Travis Derby are the Derby Realtors team at Shorewest. We help sellers, right-sizers, and buyers in Waukesha, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc, and surrounding Waukesha County communities. Since 1994, we’ve sold over 1,000 homes and more than $240 million in real estate, building a strong record of results for local homeowners.
Most of our clients are Waukesha County homeowners getting ready for their next chapter, whether they’re right-sizing or moving after many years. Our goal is to make the process smooth and predictable, offering honest advice so you can enjoy the excitement of your next step while we handle the stress. Many clients come back to us for their second or third move, and building these long-term relationships is what we care about most.
While we often work with sellers, we also enjoy helping buyers. Over the years, we’ve helped many clients’ children buy their first homes, and sometimes we work with families across several generations. Buyers value our honest feedback and careful attention to detail, ensuring there are no surprises along the way.
When you work with Derby Realtors, you benefit from:
- **A Two-Agent Approach:** With both of us working together, you get two distinct negotiation perspectives and continuous support. As a mother-son team, we offer reliable availability and a stable, multi-decade commitment to your success.
- **Elite Expertise:** Sue holds many advanced professional real estate designations, including the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)—the highest credential awarded to residential sales agents, earned by fewer than 4% of REALTORS® nationwide.
- **The Shorewest Advantage:** Operating under locally owned Shorewest Realtors, our clients enjoy one-stop access to trusted partners for mortgage, title, insurance, and relocation services.
We love what we do and have been at it for years. If you’d like to talk about the market or your next move, feel free to reach out for a no-pressure conversation.
