The Challenge

This Wilden property was stunning — a luxury residence with expansive valley and lake views, architectural elegance, and a setting that perfectly captures Kelowna’s evening glow.

But in a competitive market, great homes still need a strategy to stand out. Our mission was clear: highlight the emotional impact of the home and connect it with the right buyer at the right moment.

The Strategy

I’m Braden Koop Personal Real Estate Corporation (PREC), REALTOR® with RE/MAX Kelowna, and this project is what I call The Golden Hour Strategy.

A qualified buyer was flying in from the Lower Mainland with a tight viewing schedule. Rather than a typical daytime showing, I chose to schedule our tour at sunset — the time when this home truly comes alive.

As the sun dropped behind the Okanagan hills, the property transformed: soft light spilled through the windows, the lake reflected gold and amber tones, and the buyer instantly connected with the space.

The Result

Within 24 hours, we had an accepted offer. The buyer was thrilled, the sellers were ecstatic, and the entire transaction closed smoothly — proof that a small strategic choice can make a massive difference.

It was such a powerful result that I created a video breakdown to help other homeowners achieve similar success — you can watch it directly on the property page above.

Why This Sale Matters

The Golden Hour Project is about more than timing. It’s about understanding that buyers don’t just purchase a home — they buy a feeling.

This sale proved that when you combine strategic presentation, local knowledge, and precise execution, you can turn a showing into a moment of inspiration that drives action.

That’s what real estate in Wilden is all about: connection, emotion, and confidence.
