TJ Dumonceaux

Professional Experience

Work hard. Play hard. Do good for others. It’s no surprise to see that TJ has, at a young age, has quickly built a successful and sustainable Real Estate business for himself. Real Estate, hard work, and entrepreneurial spirit is all a true part of his DNA. Born and raised in the beautiful Okanagan and having moved 16 times before graduating high school from Okanagan Mission Secondary School in 2012, TJ quickly gained a vast amount of knowledge about the city and the different communities. His ambitious father was not only the owner of “PJ Mechanical Systems” (one of the largest residential H-Vac contractors in Kelowna at the time) but also made his money renovating and flipping properties. From the early age of 5 years old, TJ started going to work with his dad and soaking in all the construction and renovation knowledge possible, not knowing the positive impact this would have on his future. After throwing his graduation cap in the air, TJ then carried on to play Junior A Hockey for the Vernon Vipers from 2012 – 2015. With a late start to hockey, many cautioned TJ that he shouldn’t get his hopes up on having hockey be a big part of his life for long, but TJ isn’t one to be told he can’t do something and through his hard work he was made assistant captain, won MVP, and was awarded the community service award back-to-back years. His biggest take away from this experience was that when it comes to anything in life, putting in time pays off. Speaking of paying off… TJ’s next adventure was a full ride athletic scholarship to play NCAA Division 1 hockey at Bentley University in Boston Massachusetts where he trained hard for his team and studied (accounting) hard for himself. Although TJ has always been a numbers guy, when you ask him about his experience, he will tell you that “I love numbers, but I couldn’t see myself sitting at a desk all day. I am a people person and knew I needed to find that perfect harmony between crunching numbers and both helping and enjoying time with people.” With a change of heart at the top of his mind, TJ transferred to University of Calgary where he studied economics and soon started his first small business in the supplements industry. During this endeavor TJ learned how to source and pitch products, raise capital, work with/ coordinate service providers… and most importantly that entrepreneurship is not an overnight success story as it most often takes massive amounts of discipline and diligent hard work. Through all his many adventures and experiences, TJ always kept coming back to the idea of being where his roots are - the Okanagan - so when he finally decided it was time to do what he was meant to do, he first spent 2 long years up North on a drilling rig working 16 hours days so he could save the required funds to get his Real Estate license and purchase his first (of many) properties. As soon as TJ was licensed as a Real Estate Agent in 2019 he landed at a small boutique brokerage which specialized in investment Real Estate. This was the perfect fit for TJ as his construction knowledge and love of numbers made him a top choice agent for Real Estate Investors and his client base, along with his personal real estate portfolio, quickly began to grow. Through his willingness to always be helping others, an organic partnership started to form with Stephanie Ostash, another high achieving and client first minded agent, and he realized that just like in hockey life in Real Estate life, having a partner or teammate to lean on is where the magic truly happens. TJ can now be found at Canada’s Real Estate company, Royal LePage Kelowna, as one of the founding partners of TJ & STEPH Real Estate Group which has received a Red Diamond Award putting their team in the top 2% of Royal LePage Kelowna. But what’s more important than the number of deals TJ & Steph do, is how happy their clients are and in 2020 TJ Dumonceaux was names the #4 rated Real Estate Agent in all of Kelowna which is a true testament to the level of service he provides and the amount of respect and appreciation his clients have for what he does. Although TJ lives and breathes his Real Estate business, in his spare time you can find him hunting and scouring for another addition to his personal real estate portfolio, swinging a demolition hammer, crushing it at the gym, or spending time in the outdoors sledding, golfing, or biking. With his unbeatable work ethic and infectious sense of humour, this guy is all about living big and enjoying the time he has, and helping others do the same. If you ask TJ what he loves most about selling Real Estate as career he will quickly tell you, “Helping people through one of the largest and most exciting transitions and investments of their life. There’s also something so rewarding about educating eager investors on the amazing investment vehicle that Real Estate is.” The best part, he says, about investing in Real Estate personally is “… building your financial future through property that you can use and enjoy while putting cash in your pocket every month as it builds huge appreciation value all at the same time.”
