STRATEGIC REAL ESTATE ADVICE
Braden Koop Personal Real Estate Corporation
For most families, a home is the largest asset they own. It deserves to be advised on like one.
I bring two disciplines to the table. Six years as a journeyman HVAC technician taught me how a home performs over time and what it really costs to own. A busy practice, ranked #17 in Canada in the RE/MAX Top 30 Under 30 (2025) and #4 individual agent at RE/MAX Kelowna (2025), tells me what buyers in this valley are paying for right now. Together, that lets us price with evidence, prepare with purpose and negotiate from facts we both understand.
Strategic real estate advice, from someone who has seen the house from the inside.
I’m a BC-licensed REALTOR® (#191956) with RE/MAX Kelowna, born and raised here, working Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country.

Six years in the trades first
Before real estate I spent six years as a journeyman HVAC technician, inside the mechanical rooms of homes all over this valley, working alongside the plumbing and electrical trades every day. It still shapes how I walk a property with you.
For sellers, it means your preparation budget goes where buyers will actually notice it. For buyers, it means you understand what a home will ask of you after possession before you write the offer, with a licensed inspector still on every file.
Selling
A sale comes down to a few honest questions. What is the market actually showing us, how should the home be prepared, and which marketing decisions help a buyer understand what they’re looking at?
I handle pricing, preparation, media and negotiation. You’ll get the price I think this market supports, the evidence behind it, and a straight answer about what would change my mind.
And if a listing isn’t getting the response it should, you’ll hear it from me early, along with what the market is telling us and the options I’d weigh. Week six is a far better time to adjust than month four.
Buying
Finding listings is the easy part. The useful work is figuring out whether this specific home makes sense at this specific price, what it’s going to need after possession, and which terms are worth fighting for.
I buy property myself, so I look at your purchase the way I look at mine. If the numbers don’t hold up, I’ll show you where they break and what price or terms would make them work. My business runs on referrals, so the only outcome worth aiming for is one you’re still glad about in five years.

I had an amazing experience working with Braden Koop in Kelowna when buying my first home last year. From day one, Braden was friendly, encouraging, and genuinely easy to get along with. His communication was excellent—super accessible, quick to reply, and always clear and patient throughout the process. He was very helpful and knowledgeable, and on the rare occasions when something came up that he didn’t know off the top of his head, he never guessed—he would find out and come back with the right answer. No matter what I needed, he always did his utmost to help, and I really felt supported every step of the way. What stood out most is that it didn’t just feel like a professional realtor/homebuyer experience. Braden genuinely felt like a friend and a supporter throughout the entire process—I felt cared for, not just “worked with.” Even after the purchase was complete, he still took the time to help with concerns and questions he didn’t necessarily have to. I honestly couldn’t have hoped for a better first-time home buying experience. Highly recommend Braden Koop to anyone looking for a realtor in Kelowna.
We had a great experience working with Braden to find our home in West Kelowna. We were looking for a place that fit our growing family and he was patient as we saw multiple homes to find the right one. He was always available for calls and showings and made the process feel easy. His communication was timely, professional and he had our best interests at heart throughout. When it came time to make an offer Braden really stood out! He’s a skilled negotiator and was able to get us an even better price than we expected. We’d highly recommend him to anyone looking in the area.
We cannot thank Braden enough for helping us buy our first home! They were incredibly responsive, always making themselves available for showings and quick to text back when we had questions. As beginners, we didn't always know what to look for, but Braden had a sharp eye for detail and completely looked out for our best interests during negotiations. They made a stressful process genuinely fun. If you want a realtor who will truly advocate for you, go with Braden!
