We’re a small, close-knit group who believes real estate should feel human, not transactional—and that trust is earned through action, not pressure.
Our clients come to us because they want experience, strategy, and results.
They stay with us (and refer their friends!) because they feel understood, supported, and taken care of every step of the way.
We blend our extensive market knowledge with high-level service - the kind of personal connection you remember long after the keys change hands.
Because buying or selling a home is a major life moment, and you deserve a team that treats it that way.
Derrick Newman Group is a people-first real estate team based in Calgary, Alberta.

Meet the Team
Derrick Newman
Realtor® | Founder
Born and raised in Calgary, Derrick has spent his life building relationships, community, and trust. His deep roots, broad network, and natural ability to connect make him the person people call when they need honest advice, steady guidance, and a plan that works.
Clients describe him as warm, genuine, and incredibly easy to be around—the kind of person who puts you at ease while advocating fiercely on your behalf. As a skilled negotiator and consistent Top Producer, Derrick brings the strategy and experience you need, with the down-to-earth approach you’ll appreciate.
Outside of real estate, Derrick loves playing golf and squash, cheering on the Calgary Flames, volunteering with the Calgary Stampede (15+ years), and coaching his son’s hockey team. He lives in Calgary with his wife, Christie, and their two young boys.
Christie Deans
Staging Consultant & Client Experience Expert
With nearly 20 years of experience spanning Calgary’s home-building and real estate landscape, Christie brings a rare blend of design instinct, operational excellence, and client care.
She has an exceptional ability to see what a space needs-how to make it feel inviting, balanced, and show-home ready.
Clients love her warm personality, approachable style, and the way she makes the process feel simple, organized, and even fun.
Christie is a connector of people, a natural problem-solver, and the heart behind the client experience. She loves hiking, travelling with her family, and staying active with her friends. She and Derrick first met at the Calgary Stampede—and have been building a family, a life, and a business together ever since.
Michael Norris
Realtor®
Born and raised in Calgary, Michael brings local knowledge, steady guidance, and a genuine passion for helping families find the right fit.
He and his wife are raising four children (plus two rescue dogs!), so he understands the importance of neighborhoods, community, schools, and the practical realities that matter when choosing a home.
Mike is hard working, easy to talk to, organized, and deeply committed to taking care of his clients.
With a varied skillset from his work as a firefighter and a strength and conditioning coach, he understands the importance of putting in the work to achieve results.
When he’s not buying and selling houses, you’ll find him training for his next endurance race, walking his dogs, or watching movies with his family.
Derrick is a top-producing Realtor at CIR Realty
and one of the most trusted names in Calgary real estate.
Known for his calm approach, deep market knowledge, and people-first mindset, Derrick leads the Derrick Newman Group with a focus on thoughtful guidance and genuine care for every client. As the team continues to grow, they recently welcomed Michael Norris -
a natural fit for the Derrick Newman Group.
Like Derrick and Christie, Mike believes in listening closely, putting people first, and earning trust through steady, reliable service.
A partnership built on people, teamwork,
and a shared love of Calgary.
The Derrick Newman Group began when Derrick brought together his love of helping people with his passion for real estate. With his deep Calgary roots, natural ability to connect, and reputation as a trusted advisor, the business quickly grew.
Christie’s expertise - nearly two decades in Calgary’s real estate and new home construction industry; made joining forces a natural next step. Where Derrick brings strategy, negotiation, and relationship-building, Christie brings organization, staging expertise, and design instinct.
Not every husband-and-wife duo could run a business together.
But for Derrick and Christie, teamwork comes naturally.
They share the same values:
clear communication, genuine care, and always doing right by their clients.
Together, they’ve built a business that’s warm, efficient, full-service, and deeply personal, and where every client feels looked after.
Together, our team is known for patience, honesty,
…and making the buying and selling process feel clear and manageable.
It’s this shared approach - not just individual experience, that allows us to support our clients confidently from first conversation to final keys.
