Meet Don Rae

My Story

I've always been a strong believer in free enterprise and the opportunities it creates. Growing up in Vancouver during the 1970s was an incredible privilege-those years remain some of the most memorable and formative of my life. After many years in the sign industry, I made the move to Lake Country in 1997.

My passion for technology and my drive for new challenges led me into the fast-paced world of software development. Over the next 15 years, I honed the craft of transforming ideas and problems into practical, effective solutions. Eventually, I realized it was time to pursue a new direction-one that combined my experience, my love of innovation, and my desire to work closely with people.

Real estate became a natural next step. It gives me the opportunity to represent my clients with confidence and genuine enthusiasm while leveraging the latest technology and modern marketing strategies to help them achieve their goals.

Community Involvement

I have always believed that giving back is one of the most meaningful ways to strengthen a community. For more than 20 years, I have dedicated my time to serving Lake Country through my work with the Lake Country Lions Club, where I've been honoured to hold a variety of leadership roles. Contributing to the well-being of our community is something I take to heart, and that commitment extends to my role on the board of the Winfield Memorial Hall, a place that continues to inspire connection and local pride.

Beyond Real Estate

When I'm not working hard for my clients, I'm usually immersed in the world of technology-exploring AI, refining systems, solving complex problems, and helping others learn through hands-on training. That curiosity and drive to understand how things work fuels both my professional life and my personal growth.

To recharge, I head outdoors. You'll often find me hiking local trails, biking through the valley, or geocaching in some of the Okanagan's most beautiful hidden corners. Connecting with the natural wonder of this region keeps me grounded and inspired.

I bring the same passion for innovation, strategy, and problem-solving to my real estate practice. By combining technology with thoughtful marketing and a solutions-focused mindset, I work to give my clients every possible advantage. My goal is simple: to build relationships that last long after the transaction is complete.
