This is a written commitment to how Derrik Carlson represents buyers and sellers in Park City, Deer Valley, the Deer Valley Expansion, Canyons Village, Promontory, Midway, Jordanelle, and the surrounding resort market. It covers six areas: access to public and off-market inventory, privacy and discretion, market intelligence, global network support, professional representation at every stage of a transaction, and a long-term advisory relationship that extends past closing.
Sellers also get the One Day Listing Guarantee: after 24 hours on market, you may cancel the listing agreement at any time with no penalty, except while under contract or in active negotiation. The team does not practice dual agency.
This page describes what the guarantee covers, how it works during an active engagement, and what it does not do. If REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY agrees to represent you, the process below is the process you receive.
This page is maintained by Derrik Carlson, Park City Resort Real Estate Advisor and team lead of REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY, the Luxury Division of KW Park City Keller Williams Real Estate. The team has closed more than 395 transactions totaling over $525 million across Park City, Deer Valley, and the Wasatch Back. Derrik's practice concentrates from $3 million and up, including $10 million-plus and off-market work. Licensed in Utah since 2012.

What the Guarantee Covers
The guarantee is organized around six operational commitments. Each one corresponds to a defined deliverable inside an active engagement.
Access to Listings: Public and Off-Market
Every client receives full coverage of the Park City MLS, including Park City homes for sale and Park City condos for sale, with new inventory surfaced the moment it comes to market. In addition, REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY commits to sourcing and presenting a minimum of three off-market opportunities matching a buyer's criteria within the first 30 days of engagement. Off-market inventory is sourced through direct owner outreach, builder relationships, and private broker networks across Deer Valley, Canyons Village, Promontory, Midway, and the Jordanelle corridor.
VIP Access and Private Previews
Many Park City properties at the luxury tier trade quietly, before or without ever reaching the open MLS. REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY commits to arranging a minimum of two exclusive private tours within the first 45 days of engagement, including unlisted properties, builder previews, and early-release opportunities in communities like Promontory, The Colony, and custom estate sites across Deer Valley.
Privacy and Discretion
Privacy is a working requirement, not a marketing line. The guarantee includes non-disclosure agreements for off-market viewings, encrypted communications for sensitive negotiations, vetted referral networks only, and a zero-tolerance stance on data or privacy exposure. This matters most for executives, public figures, and buyers whose ownership is better kept private.
Market Intelligence
Listing portals do not report on zoning risks, rental restrictions, future development, lift infrastructure changes, or HOA reserve health. REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY delivers a monthly Park City market briefing to active clients covering Deer Valley development and lift infrastructure, zoning and density change alerts, neighborhood pricing and absorption trends, and segment analytics on luxury pricing and ski property. For a current value read, see Park City home values.
Global Network Support
Park City draws second-home buyers and investors from across the country and overseas, particularly into Deer Valley, The Colony, and other gated resort communities. Utah places no restrictions on foreign or out-of-state ownership. Through KW Park City Keller Williams Real Estate and the Keller Williams Luxury International referral network, the guarantee includes response from global advisors within 72 hours, translation and cross-border communication support, introductions to advisors for FIRPTA planning and entity structuring, vetted luxury referral partners, and remote transaction capabilities for virtual showings, e-signatures, and secure document exchange. For more, see International Buyers.
Professional Representation at Every Stage
Transactions are won and lost during negotiation, inspection, appraisal, and closing, not during search. Every client works directly with Derrik Carlson on pricing strategy and offer structure, contract drafting and protective terms, inspection strategy and repair negotiations, and appraisal, financing, and closing coordination. No junior agent handoff, no automated pipeline.
Private strategy session covering your buying or selling objectives, the communities that fit, and the transaction structure that protects your outcome.
Call (435) 200-5478How the Guarantee Works in an Active Engagement
The guarantee translates to a structured engagement from first conversation through post-closing. Each step has a specific objective and a specific deliverable.
What Makes This Different
Trade-off: Not every buyer or seller is accepted as a client, and availability for new engagements is not unlimited.
Fits: Clients who value direct access and disciplined representation over high-volume service.
Trade-off: Off-market opportunities are not always available in every segment at every price point on demand. Availability moves with the market.
Fits: Buyers and sellers who want to move before or outside the public market.
Trade-off: The model assumes ongoing contact. Clients who want one transaction and no further touchpoints are better served elsewhere.
Fits: Clients who plan to own in Park City for years and will benefit from annual advisory.
Trade-off: Communication windows are scheduled, not 24/7. Urgent items go through (435) 200-5478.
Fits: Clients who want the named principal on the file.
For Buyers
Buyer representation spans the full Park City and Wasatch Back resort market: ski-in/ski-out properties, Park City luxury properties, golf communities, new construction, primary residences, second homes, and investment properties. Most buyer engagements include at least one off-market property in the final consideration set.
The buyer deliverable standard includes community-level briefings for the areas under consideration, a pre-offer diligence pack on every property that reaches the contract stage, contract structure review, and inspection and negotiation representation through closing. For buyer-side process details, see the Park City Buyers Guide.
For Sellers
A high share of clients return to the team when it is time to list. The business is built on repeat engagements and referrals.
Seller-side execution includes luxury photography, drone videography, and cinematic video, 3D and VR tours for qualified buyers, placement on at least three international luxury platforms within 10 days of listing, targeted digital campaigns, and monthly performance reporting with pricing strategy review. After 24 hours on market, the seller may cancel the listing agreement at any time with no penalty, except while under contract or in active negotiation. See One Day Listing Guarantee, Park City Sellers Guide, and the Seller Marketing Plan.
What This Guarantee Does Not Do
The guarantee does not promise a specific sale price, a specific closing date, a specific appraised value, or a specific rate of return on investment. Those outcomes depend on market conditions, inventory, buyer and seller willingness, inspection findings, and factors outside any broker's control.
The guarantee also does not replace tax, legal, or financial advice. FIRPTA planning, 1031 exchanges, entity structuring, estate considerations, and lending decisions should be reviewed with qualified advisors. REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY can introduce vetted advisors where needed, but final decisions on tax, legal, and financing structure sit with the client and their advisors. What the guarantee delivers is process discipline, access, representation, and advisory continuity. What happens in the market is the market.
Real Estate Guarantee FAQ
Is the REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY guarantee a written contract?
The operational commitments above become part of the written representation agreement signed at the start of an engagement. Clients receive a clear written summary of what is being delivered and how, in addition to the standard Utah buyer or listing representation documents.
Does the guarantee cost extra?
No. The guarantee is the standard REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY representation model and is included in the broker engagement. Compensation is structured through the standard Utah real estate commission framework disclosed in the representation agreement.
How quickly will I see off-market opportunities?
The commitment is a minimum of three off-market opportunities matching a buyer's criteria within the first 30 days of engagement. In segments where inventory is tight, sourcing can take longer, and the engagement stays open for the agreed period regardless of how fast or slow inventory surfaces.
Do you represent buyers outside the luxury tier?
Primary focus is luxury, ski, golf, new construction, and investment properties, from $3 million and up. Representation at $3 million and under is handled with Grayson West and Lana Harris. Call (435) 200-5478 for a direct answer on any specific price point.
Can international buyers work with REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY?
Yes. Utah places no restrictions on foreign or out-of-state property ownership. International engagements use the Keller Williams Luxury International referral network, translation and cross-border communication support, introductions to FIRPTA and entity structuring advisors, and remote closing capabilities.
What happens after closing?
Clients receive a complimentary annual home value assessment covering long-term appreciation and equity growth, neighborhood and micro-market performance, shifts in buyer demand and inventory, and timing considerations for refinancing, selling, or exchanging. The assessment is prepared from current market data and comparable sales, not from automated estimates.
How do I start a consultation?
Call (435) 200-5478 or email Carlson@RealEstateInParkCity.com. Initial strategy calls are 30 to 60 minutes and carry no obligation. A written engagement agreement is only signed if the fit is confirmed on both sides.
Who is the primary point of contact on the file?
Derrik Carlson handles every engagement directly, with operational support from REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY at KW Park City Keller Williams Real Estate for transaction coordination, marketing execution, and listing support. Client-facing strategy, negotiation, and representation sit with Derrik.
