Derek Silas

As a REALTOR® with EXIT Realty Sweet Homelife, Derek Silas is proud to serve the communities he knows best—Blount, Cullman, Walker, and northern Jefferson County. Originally from Oneonta and now living in Hayden with his family, Derek works with buyers and sellers across a wide stretch of north central Alabama, including Birmingham, Pinson, Gardendale, Jasper, Corner and all across Blount County. Whether it’s a starter home, a lakeside retreat, or an investment in mini storage or commercial property, Derek provides down-to-earth, knowledgeable service every step of the way.

Much of Derek’s real estate success has come from building real relationships. First-time homebuyers trust him to walk them through unfamiliar territory. Investors return because they know he follows through. And families refer him because he treats every client like a neighbor—because often, they are.

Derek and his wife, a former teacher and administrator now serving in a leadership role with Jefferson County Schools, have deep roots in the community. Their children attended Corner High, and the family now enjoys life on the lake—often hosting friends and family on their pontoon boat, kayaking, or cheering on the Crimson Tide. They also support causes like autism awareness and local entertainment events, staying connected to what matters most—people and community.
