OUR AGENTS
Derrick Rubin
About the Agent
Hi, I’m Derrick “The Dual Agent” Rubin, and I’m proud to serve clients across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex as a Realtor® with The Morine Empire Realty and Associates in Arlington, Texas, and as the President and Owner of RHL Lending in Mansfield, Texas.
What makes my approach different is that I work on both sides of the real estate transaction—real estate and lending. This allows me to help my clients better understand the entire process, from finding or selling a home to navigating the financing behind the deal. My goal is always to make the experience smoother, more strategic, and less stressful for the people I serve.
Before entering the real estate and lending industries, I proudly served eight years in the National Guard with the 1st Battalion, 143rd Field Artillery as a Forward Observer. My time in the military helped shape the discipline, attention to detail, and mission-focused mindset that I bring to every client relationship.
I’m also a family man at heart. I’ve been married to my wife Connie Rubin for 20 years, and together we’ve raised two sons and a daughter, now ages 30, 24, and 20. Family, service, and integrity are values that guide both my personal life and my professional work.
I’m passionate about helping individuals and families build wealth through homeownership. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling your current property, investing in real estate, or trying to relaunch a listing that didn’t sell the first time, I’m committed to providing knowledgeable guidance, clear communication, and a strategy built around your goals.
When you work with me, you’re not just getting an agent—you’re gaining a partner who understands both the market and the financing behind every transaction.
