"Thank you for the opportunity to help. I understand that my clients want a relationship with their lenders that is based on clear communication, transparency, and trust. I take a consultative approach to the mortgage process. By working with you to consider all of your options together we can find the best mortgage solution for your unique situation. I appreciate everyone that makes the decision to trust me as their mortgage advisor and I pride myself on being personally available to help guide you through the mortgage process." - Derrick Whitfield Growing up in Richmond, Virginia, Derrick developed a firsthand understanding of the local housing market, and the lending needs unique to Central Virginia. After purchasing his first home in Midlothian over 10 years ago, Derrick became fascinated by the homebuying process and the way a strong Realtor-Lender partnership supported his family through the transaction. That experience, paired with Derrick's natural curiosity, sparked his path into the mortgage industry.Today, Derrick leverages his background in consultative sales and business development to guide clients through tailored mortgage solutions designed to support both short-term goals and long-term financial success. His commitment to education, communication, and strategy has contributed to consistent success for both his buyers and real estate partners.Derrick lives in Ashland, Virginia with his wife Christina, their four sons--Colton, Dylan, Bowen, and Hayden--and their energetic bird dog, Dolly. The Whitfields are an active sports family, and when Derrick isn't helping clients navigate home financing, you'll often find Coach Derrick on the field or court with his boys. As a family, they enjoy traveling, time outdoors, and staying connected to their community.
