Derek Nemec

A native of Bay City, Texas, Derek began his professional journey in operations as a Nuclear Power Professional, where precision and discipline became the hallmarks of his work. Alongside this demanding career, he began laying the foundation for his entry into private real estate investment and, eventually, brokerage management.

What started as a personal passion evolved into a thriving portfolio — with over $3 million actively invested in Bay City’s real estate market. Derek brings a detail-oriented, data-driven, and community-minded approach to every transaction, bridging local insight with modern strategy.

He currently serves on the Matagorda County Appraisal District’s Appraisal Review Board and the Board of Directors for the Bay City ISD Education Foundation, continuing his commitment to fostering growth and education within his community.

Outside of real estate, Derek is an avid world traveler and backpacker, having found inspiration in destinations such as Kyoto, Beijing, New Delhi, and Oman—experiences that have shaped his global perspective and grounded his sense of home.
