FAQs
1
Why should I work with the Derrick Newman Group?
Because you’ll feel taken care of from start to finish.
We’re hands-on, highly responsive, and focused on making the process feel clear and manageable. With deep Calgary roots, strong market knowledge, and a genuine people-first approach, you’ll always feel supported and in good hands.
Do you provide staging services?
2
Yes — and it’s completely complimentary for our clients. Christie handles all staging herself, and brings everything needed to help your home look its absolute best.
This helps set you apart from other homes listed in your neighborhood – it’s a huge benefit to working with us.
Do you help find off-market or coming-soon properties?
3
We do! Thanks to Derrick’s deep network and long-standing Calgary connections, we often learn about homes before they hit the market, and share those opportunities with our clients.
This is one of the great advantages to working with us – we can help you find that hidden gem before anyone else gets their eyes on it.
Do you handle everything for the sale — photos, floorplans, marketing, etc.?
4
Absolutely. We coordinate photography, drone shots, floorplans, measurements, MLS copywriting, social media, and targeted marketing.
You focus on your next step - we handle the rest.
Which areas of Calgary do you specialize in?
5
We work across the entire city, but much of our experience is in Southwest Calgary and higher-end residential homes. We work extensively in Elbow Park, Roxboro, Rideau, Upper Mount Royal, South Calgary, Garrison Woods, Altadore, Mission, and Britannia.
That said, we help clients in every quadrant of Calgary, and at every stage of life. We also have a great deal of experience in the surrounding communities – Cochrane, Okotoks, and Rockyview County.

Do you help out-of-province buyers or clients who can’t attend showings?
Yes. We regularly tour homes on behalf of clients, provide detailed notes and videos, and help you get a true feel for the property and neighbourhood - even from a distance.
We do. We’ve built a network of reliable professionals we trust and use ourselves. When you need someone, we connect you with the right fit and ensure the handoff is smooth.
Do you work with trusted mortgage brokers, inspectors, lawyers, and contractors?

What if I’m not ready yet? Can we still meet?
8
Of course. Many clients come to us months (or even years) before they plan to buy or sell. We’re happy to offer guidance, staging advice, and market insight whenever you need it — no pressure, no timelines, just support.
I’ve never bought or sold a home before. Will you walk me through everything?
9
Yes - that’s exactly what we’re here for. We explain each step clearly, answer every question, and guide you through the process at a pace that feels comfortable.
Our goal is to remove the stress and replace it with clarity, confidence, and support.
