Erika Kretchmer is a licensed REALTOR® with Real Broker BC Ltd. helping buyers and sellers move with confidence across Kelowna and the Central Okanagan. Three years licensed and five years working on land development projects, more than a decade in operations and business development gives me a broad skillset to provide my clients with strategic service and strategy. Whether you are selling a home, buying an empty lot, or developing a project, I can help.
Buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial decisions most people make. My job is to take the uncertainty out of it: clear advice, accurate market data, and a plan that holds up from listing or offer to closing.
I live and work in Kelowna. I track price movement, days-on-market, and inventory trends across Upper Mission, Lower Mission, Downtown Kelowna, Glenmore, Rutland, Lake Country, and West Kelowna so I can tell you what a property is actually worth, not just what it’s listed for.
Through my work as Principal of Ascend Development Partners, I evaluate properties for zoning, subdivision potential, and long-term upside. Most agents see the home you’re buying today. I also see what the lot or property could become in the future.
Real estate deals fall apart in the details. With a background managing multi-million-dollar development projects, I anticipate the roadblocks: financing conditions, inspection issues, subject removals, and title hiccups. You get steady communication and a deal that actually closes.

Set against sweeping views of Kelowna and Lake Okanagan, 869 McKenzie Road is a beautifully updated 4-bed, 3-bath family home offering approx. 2,350 sq. ft. of move-in-ready living.
Fully renovated in 2014, the bright open-concept layout features a Westwood kitchen with smoked hickory cabinetry and seamless flow into the living and dining areas. Two gas fireplaces add warmth, and a balcony showcases stunning city and lake views.
Enjoy a hot tub on the lower deck and a landscaped yard with terraced benches and berry gardens. Ample parking includes a garage plus additional space.
The lower level offers strong suite potential with separate entry, bedroom, 4-piece bath, family room, and flex space—ideal for a mortgage helper or in-law suite.
Zoned RU1 on a 0.26-acre lot with rear access, within Kelowna’s Bill 44 framework allowing up to four units on qualifying lots.
Located in Rutland North, minutes to YLW, UBCO, shopping, dining, and the YMCA. Big White approx. 45 minutes away.
Before getting licensed, I spent more than a decade in operations leadership across finance, hospitality, and real estate development, including time as VP of Operations at Aspen Lands Advisory and Alpine Engineering. I hold a Trading Services certificate from the Sauder School of Business at UBC, chair the Under 40 Committee at UDI Okanagan, and am an active member of Kelowna Women in Business. That background shapes how I work with clients on every Okanagan property sale and purchase.
I’m a licensed agent with Real Broker BC Ltd., the BC arm of one of the fastest-growing publicly traded brokerages in North America. That gives my clients access to a national network, integrated mortgage and title services, and an AI-driven technology platform that supports faster research and smoother closings.
I use AI-powered tools and Real’s proprietary platform to run sharper market analysis, surface comparable sales faster, and keep transaction documents organized end-to-end. The technology works behind the scenes so the advice you receive is grounded in current data, not last quarter’s snapshot.
As a REALTOR®, I follow a strict code of ethics that puts client interests above my own. That means honest pricing advice, no pressure to list before you’re ready, and no pushing offers that don’t actually serve you. The relationship outlasts the transaction.
Negotiation isn't about being aggressive. It's about preparation, accurate market data, and knowing where the leverage points are. I prepare every offer and counter with the same level of detail I bring to a development pro forma.
Pricing a home or evaluating an offer takes more than pulling three nearby comps. I dig into neighborhood-level price trends, days-on-market patterns, and zoning context so the numbers in front of you reflect the real Kelowna market.
Mortgage brokers, home inspectors, real estate lawyers, contractors, engineers, photographers, and surveyors. The professionals you need to close a transaction are the ones I already work with and have built trusting relationships with.
No ghosting. No vague answers. You'll know where your transaction stands at every stage, including the parts that need additional attention. That's how trust gets built.
Pricing strategy, professional photography, targeted marketing, and a clear timeline. Request a no-obligation home evaluation and I’ll walk you through what your property is worth in today’s Central Okanagan market.

Some properties have value most agents miss. As Principal of Ascend Development Partners, my land development consulting firm, I help clients assess development potential, zoning opportunities, and long-term upside on properties across Kelowna and the Central Okanagan. If you’re buying a property with redevelopment in mind, or selling one that could attract developer interest, a proper feasibility assessment changes the conversation.
