I cannot recommend Derek enough! He went above and beyond to help our family find a home. He has great insight and is extremely upfront and honest. We were from a different province and Derek did an exceptional job showing us not only the homes, but the surrounding areas. He has continued to make himself available to us when we had any questions. Derek had a very personal touch and truly has his clients best interest at heart. We will only use Derek as our real estate agent going forward and you should too!

We highly recommend using Derek as your Realtor!

Derek is a pleasure to work with and always puts his clients first. His willingness to go the extra mile is unparalleled and he works hard to ensure his clients are put ahead of everything else. He recently sold my parents condo and was very patient with them and included them in every step and made sure they understood everything that was transpiring and gave them the pros and cons of every decision. His compassion and level of caring for everyone involved is top notch. Thank you for all of your help with my parents sale!

Hands down the best realtor in YYC. We had a long list of things/features that we needed in our first home. The man out performed and over delivered. Also saved us some money in the process.
He is patient, extremely cordial and always with a smile on his face. Ever ready to help his clients. I would recommend his services to all. Wishing you all the best Derek!!!

Mike with Steadfast Mortgage worked with Derek Thistle in 2022.
I have been the Mortgage agent on several of Derek's real estate transactions. Derek is always quick to get me any information or documentation I need. He is great to work with as he always puts his client's needs as a top priority. Derek understands that the mortgage process is very detailed oriented and a delay in paperwork could cause a client to lose the financing on their new home. Derek doesn't let that happen.

Derek , I run out of words to describe his magic . He was the manifesting hand behind my new bought . I am someone who needs immediate attention at the time of support ( a little bit of responsible ocd ) , he is attentive to this need , he made himself available without the ( jeez attitude ) despite his busy calendar , nurtured the support . His patience is exemplary , always showed up to the ones I went to see , never the “ jeez” attitude . He is a nurturer and knows how to respect feelings . He is a professional . I felt protected and safe . Thank you Derek !.
