Leanne Braun

Real estate in the Okanagan is about more than property—it’s about lifestyle, timing, and thoughtful decision-making. Based in Kelowna, Leanne Braun is known for her strategic insight, refined marketing, and calm, client-first approach that helps buyers and sellers navigate important real estate decisions with clarity and confidence.

With more than two decades of leadership experience prior to entering real estate, Leanne brings a rare combination of business acumen, negotiation expertise, and disciplined preparation to every transaction.

Before transitioning into real estate, Leanne spent over 25 years in the automotive industry, where she built a reputation for operational excellence, strategic thinking, and cultivating long-standing client relationships. She holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and her background in high-performance business environments continues to shape the analytical and results-driven approach she brings to her real estate practice today.

Leanne specializes in representing distinctive homes and lifestyle properties throughout the Central Okanagan. She is particularly recognized for her expertise in Gallagher’s Canyon, where her deep connection to the community and thoughtful marketing initiatives have helped elevate awareness of the neighborhood and its unique lifestyle. Through targeted marketing, lifestyle storytelling, and strategic positioning, she works to ensure properties are presented in a way that attracts the most qualified and discerning buyers.

Her marketing philosophy reflects the elevated standards of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada: every property deserves a carefully considered strategy, exceptional presentation, and targeted exposure designed to connect with the right audience. Whether representing a luxury residence, acreage property, or thoughtfully designed family home, Leanne approaches each listing with a commitment to protecting its value while maximizing its presence in the marketplace.

Clients value Leanne’s calm guidance, meticulous preparation, and ability to anticipate challenges before they arise. She is particularly skilled at assisting clients relocating to the Okanagan, offering not only market expertise but also genuine insight into the lifestyle that draws so many people to the region.

Leanne’s commitment to professionalism and service has been recognized by her peers through her recent REALTOR® of the Year award—an honor that reflects her dedication to both the profession and the community she serves. She remains actively involved in local real estate initiatives and community events, believing strongly that meaningful relationships and local engagement are essential to building a thriving practice.

Having relocated to the Okanagan herself, Leanne understands firsthand what makes the region so special. She and her husband have made Kelowna their home, embracing the lifestyle that blends natural beauty, opportunity, and community. That perspective allows her to help clients not only find the right home, but the right way of living in the Okanagan.

For Leanne, real estate is ultimately about people—understanding their vision, protecting their interests, and guiding them toward decisions that support the life they want to build.
