Derek Blades

To me, "local" isn't just a buzzword—it’s my life story. I was born and bred locally right in Newton, and I’ve spent my life building a home and a community in the Hesston area. My "why" is rooted in these neighborhoods; I don’t just see properties, I see the places where your life’s best memories will happen. With over 10 years in the business, I’ve combined my deep regional roots with a high-level professional touch. Whether I’m advocating for our kids as President of both the Middle School and Elementary PTO, networking as a Hesston Chamber member, or enjoying a Saturday as an avid golfer, I am deeply invested in our growth. If you’re looking for a relocation specialist who understands the heart of Kansas, I’m ready to lead the way. I treat every client like a neighbor because, around here, you usually are.
