019 - Derek Thistle - From Cop to One of Calgary's Top Agents

Derek's ascent in the Calgary real estate game is nothing short of remarkable. In just 4 years Derek has become one of Calgary's top agents, and his story from transitioning into the industry from being a Police Officer is inspiring and one that is worth listening to. In our conversation we get into the details of why Derek left the police force, the friction he felt jumping into a new industry, how he brings foundation skillsets from the police force to his real estate business, leveraging social media for client acquisition, and so much more. If you are NOT in the real estate space, I still HIGHLY recommend you listen to this podcast...Derek drops so much value for anyone that is running a small-medium sized business, and I know what he is doing is only setting himself up for MORE success in the coming years. I really appreciated how vulnerable Derek was, and how open he was to giving away some "secrets of the trade". Derek is one of the hardest working agents I know, and one heck of a nice guy.
