Derek Sveen-Winters turned a long-time interest in real estate into a career built on helping people navigate one of life’s biggest decisions. After years of seeing how much a home can shape a person’s lifestyle, financial future, and sense of stability, he knew there was no better time to pursue that passion than now.

Today, Derek is a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Realty serving the Twin Cities metro, where he focuses on providing thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and a steady presence throughout the buying or selling process. He believes real estate is about far more than transactions—it’s about helping people find the right place to build their lives and protecting their investment along the way.

Derek approaches every client relationship with a strong commitment to preparation, honesty, and attention to detail. From analyzing the market to negotiating on behalf of his clients, he works to ensure every step of the process feels informed, strategic, and well supported.

Whether someone is purchasing their first home, moving to the next stage of life, or preparing to sell a property they’ve owned for years, Derek strives to make the experience straightforward, positive, and successful.

His goal is simple: provide the kind of service and advocacy he would want for his own family when making an important move.
