The story

01

The short version

Born and raised in Kelowna, with a deep appreciation for the Okanagan and the people who call it home. Committed to service that shows up beyond the transaction.

The longer version

I was an entrepreneur before I was old enough to have a job. A lemonade stand at nine, raising money for a school in Kenya. A first business pitched on Dragons' Den at ten. Since then: an app, a podcast, a published book, a marketing company, and multiple TEDx talks.

That background isn't a highlight reel — it's the reason clients notice three things first. Marketing, because I've spent years selling things that were harder to sell than a house. Negotiation, because I've been on both sides of a deal since I was a kid. And plain communication, because if I can't explain it clearly, I don't understand it well enough to be advising you on it.

The sale isn't the finish line.

Why “service beyond the sale”

Most of this industry is built around the transaction. You get a lot of attention for six weeks and then you never hear from that person again. I've never understood it. The house you just bought is the biggest thing you own, and questions about it don't stop at possession day.

So I stay reachable. I'm the guy you text about a contractor, a property line, a tax notice that doesn't look right, or whether now is actually the time to move. No invoice, no expectation. It's the part of the job I like most, and it's why most of my business comes from people I've already worked with.

Off the clock

Snowboarding, climbing, paragliding, trail running, and the occasional solo trek somewhere with no cell service. A bookshelf that's mostly non-fiction. If you're moving here for the mountains rather than the market, we'll get along.

What it's like to work with me.

★★★★★

Tegan was absolutely amazing to work with, especially as first-time home buyers. He made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience feel smooth and easy to understand… What impressed us the most was how responsive he was. Even on weekends, he was quick to reply.

As first-time homebuyers, we went into the process feeling uncertain and not fully knowing what to expect, but Teagan took the time to walk us through every step… From day one we felt supported and truly felt like we had someone in our corner.

As first time home buyers, Teagan was outstanding… The property we ended up purchasing was actually one brought forward by him. He has the mindset of prioritizing his clients interests over making a quick dollar.

In depth personalized market reports for every property and area we looked at. Viewed nearly 20 houses and was super helpful through the 9 month process… he specifically filtered and acted based on my needs for the property, rather than wasting time.

Teagan is an energetic, tireless and efficient realtor. He was able to sell my rental duplex property very quickly and he kept me in the loop at all times. He was a good advisor in the months before the property was ready for sale.

Teagan was very easy to work with, both knowledgable but not pushy in any way. He was always on top of any tasks needed to keep the process moving and we could trust him with confidence.

Teagan navigated a very difficult sale for us. We live in another province, the offer was in a rural area on multiple lots… He was organized, professional, kept us informed, and navigated problems as they arose really well.

Teagan understood exactly what my husband and I were looking for. Thanks to him, we found the perfect home to start our family. We highly recommend Teagan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated realtor.
