Q: How do I reach you?

Call or text 250-801-8725, or email braden@koophomes.ca. I'm reachable seven days a week by phone or email. Meetings are by appointment, including evenings and weekends.

I’m a licensed REALTOR® and Personal Real Estate Corporation with RE/MAX Kelowna, BC licence #191956. I work with buyers and sellers across Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country, and I run Koop Homes Group with Gerry Fraser and Miranda Taylor.

My wife and I were both born and raised here, and we’re raising twin girls in it now. Our weekends look like everyone else’s in this valley: out on the lake, up a trail, or somewhere with a patio and a view. We never left because there was never a good reason to, and that’s most of the reason people move here in the first place.

Awards are a proxy. What they actually tell you is that I do this full time, at volume, and that enough people were happy enough afterward to say so publicly. The better question is whether the way I work suits the decision you’re making.

I spent six years in mechanical rooms before I ever listed a house

Before real estate I spent six years as a journeyman HVAC technician, in the mechanical rooms, crawlspaces and attics of homes all over this valley. That work put me beside the plumbing and the electrical every single day, and I’m well versed in all three. Mechanical, plumbing and wiring outlive three kitchen renovations. You just can’t see any of it from the front door.

So when I walk a house with you I’m looking past the finishes. The age and condition of the mechanical systems, how the plumbing was run and what it’s made of, the panel and the state of the wiring, how the building handles heat and moisture. That stuff shows up in the inspection report eventually, and by then it’s a negotiation instead of a surprise.

I’m also an active real estate investor. I look at a house the same way whether it’s going in my portfolio or yours. Sometimes the honest answer is that it’s a bad buy. Better you hear that from me before you own it.

How I work

Three things that shape how I handle a file.

Volume, and what it buys you

I'm in deals constantly, which means when I price your home I'm working from transactions I was actually part of this year, not from three sales I read about. Reps beat instinct.

Pricing you can argue with

If the number you want isn't the number buyers will pay, I'll show you the evidence at the listing appointment and you can push back on it. What I won't do is agree with you to win the listing and then spend three months walking it back.

Media I pay for

Photography, video, drone and floor plans on my listings are handled by me and not added to your costs. The job is to show the house accurately enough that the right buyer books a showing.

The team on your file. Your strategy, marketing, representation and negotiation stay with me. Everything around that is handled by Koop Homes Group.

What I do

I represent sellers through pricing, preparation, marketing and negotiation, and I represent buyers, where the work is diligence and negotiation. Those are genuinely different jobs and the plan should look different. Here’s how I approach each one, and here’s what it looks like on real homes.
