Ranked #17 in Canada: Braden Koop Named to RE/MAX Canada's Top 30 Under 30

Out of more than 25,000 RE/MAX agents across Canada, 30 are selected each year for the RE/MAX Canada Top 30 Under 30. In 2025, I ranked #17.

I'm not sharing that to brag. I'm sharing it because if you're trying to figure out who to trust with one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, you deserve to know who you're actually dealing with.

What the RE/MAX Canada Top 30 Under 30 Actually Means

This isn't a participation award. RE/MAX Canada's Top 30 Under 30 is a nationally competitive recognition based on transaction volume and gross commission income — real production numbers, ranked against every agent under 30 in the country.

To put it in perspective: RE/MAX is the number one real estate brand in Canada by agent count and sales volume. Being ranked #17 nationally within that network — as a Kelowna-based agent — means competing against agents in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, and every major market in between, and coming out near the top.

That's the context. Here's what it means for you as a client in Kelowna.

Why a National Ranking Matters in a Local Market

Kelowna isn't Toronto. We're a mid-sized city in the Okanagan, and most people assume the top agents are all in the big metros. They're wrong.

The strategies, the marketing, the negotiation skills, the data analysis — these are skills that transcend geography. Ranking nationally means I'm not just competing well in Kelowna. I'm competing well against everyone.

For sellers, that means your home gets marketed and negotiated by someone operating at a national performance level — not just a local one.

For buyers, that means your offer strategy, your due diligence, and your representation are handled by someone whose production puts them in the top tier of one of the world's largest real estate networks.

A Quick Note on the Journey

I started in real estate in 2022. Before that, I spent six years as a Journeyman HVAC technician — which gave me a better foundation for this career than most people expect. I understand how homes are built, what to look for inside the walls, and how to spot the things a standard home inspection might miss.

My first year, I won Rookie of the Year at RE/MAX Kelowna.

From there, the trajectory has been consistent: Top 100 in Western Canada, then top rankings within the western region, and now a national recognition in 2025.

None of that happened by accident. It happened because I treat every transaction — whether it's a $400,000 condo or a $2 million home in Gallaghers Canyon — like it's the most important deal I'll ever work on. Because for my clients, it usually is.
