SHEET A-02 · THE TEAM
A husband-and-wife team with builder-grade knowledge.
Derek Cruz has spent over 20 years inside new home construction sales — he knows how builders price, phase, and negotiate, because he's been on their side of the table. Licensed since 2004, he's earned a reputation as one of the Inland Empire's most trusted and versatile agents.
Together with Gina Cruz, his wife and partner, they lead Cruz Team Realty: technical construction knowledge, real-world sales expertise, and a listing track record that consistently delivers for sellers.
Beyond the transaction, Derek is "theNewHomeGuy" — educating Southern California buyers and sellers across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
