In Derek's Own Words:

Meet Derek Thistle Honesty. Integrity. Transparency Derek, originally from St. John's, NL, moved to Calgary in 2006 to join the Calgary Police Service. He had an amazing career, working in patrol, and various specialty units. He was built to serve the community; and after you hear his story, you'll quickly understand why he chose to serve the community in a different role, in a far more positive way! Derek found quick success in real estate, helping 49 families his first year! He's since went on to help over 325 families buy/sell real estate in Calgary and surrounding communities in just 5 years! How? Police Core Values: HONESTY, INTEGRITY and TRANSPARENCY. With years of real estate service in the Calgary area, Derek can assure you that you are in good hands. He is committed to listening to his clients, focusing on their needs, and using keen negotiating skills to ensure a successful transaction. Derek's intimate knowledge of the Calgary region, and his experience in patrolling our city as a cop, gives him skillsets that other Realtors can't offer. Safety and security are non negotiables; Derek will never let you buy next to a "bad guy".

Condo Sale in Calgary | Aug 2025

What a wonderful experience selling our property with Derek. He and Britt are a wonderful team, and were communicative, proactive, always helpful and very quick, totally reliable, and helped us find the right buyer quickly. Moreover, we live outside of Canada and even with the distance and time difference everything was very easy and transparent. We highly recommend Derek and his team! - Amir Hardoof

Townhome Sale in Taradale, Calgary | Jun 2022

We had the pleasure of working with Derek to sell our townhouse a few years ago, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. From start to finish, he was professional, efficient, and an absolute pleasure to work with! He kept us informed every step of the way, was always quick to respond to our questions, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. His communication, expertise, and dedication truly stood out. If you're looking for someone you can trust to get the job done right, look no further. We highly recommend Derek! - Daman

Condo Sale in McKenzie Towne, Calgary | Aug 2025

Derek was absolutely amazing to help my Mother-in-law sell her condo after moving into assisted living retirement. Although she intially hired another realtor and the condo sat with very little action for three months, Derek was able to provide the guidance she needed in setting the right price, ongoing marketing, not just an initial post and then forgotten like others. Derek stands out above the rest and we knew he was the right realtor due to his professionalism, knowledge and making my MIL feel so important along the way. Sure enough, a deal came through pretty quickly due to Derek’s marketing, business acumen and a trusting relationship. Let’s not forget the outstanding service his assistant, Brit brings to their team! She’s always right there to help with the heavy lifting. Happy to say the deal has closed without a hitch and Derek should always be your first choice - his record speaks for itself but they are an absolute pleasure to walk you through what can sometimes be a very stressful transaction. With much gratitude to you and Brit! - Lisa Hagen

Reply:    Wow! Thank you for your kind words Lisa! We sincerely appreciate. Mary was fun :)

After attempting to sell for almost a year we called Derek and within 10 days Derek had sold our property and lined us up with a purchase of another home shortly after that. From the professional photos/video team to his admin assistant everyone is professional and easy to deal with. Derek is an enthusiastic realtor and will do whatever it takes to accomplish what you need whether it is buying or selling. I am already recommending him to all my friends. - Mark Heemeryck

The BEST REALTOR in Calgary! We had signed with four other realtors before we met Derek. None of them could close the deal. They all tried to convince us to lower our asking price or settle for lowball offers. Not Derek! He got us our asking price, within a week. When buying, we were picky. Derek was patient and optimistic when we got discouraged. He didn't give up after many showings without any offers. We almost decided just to rent, but then Derek came through for us again. He found a place we LOVE in a great neighborhood, then he fought for a great price in a seller's market. We're so happy! REALTOR FOR LIFE! - Christina McWilliam

Derek sold my last house and helped me build another one. He’s an absolute workhorse and will put in as many hours that are required to get you the best possible price on both ends of the realestate experience. Besides being extremely knowledgeable with the nuts and bolts of everything, he’s also able to explain everything in regular terms and doesn’t throw a lot of information at you all at once. - Sean
