The Redekops, Surrey, BC

I was born and raised in Kamloops, BC, the oldest of 5 kids We spent many hours in the outdoors hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, playing ball and hockey. After playing Junior and College hockey in the interior I headed for UBC and completed a degree in history and psychology.
My wife of 42 years, Donna, and I started our professional careers as teachers in the interior of B.C where I taught Social studies, History and P.E. at the High School level.
In the early 1980’s I made a career change and we moved our growing family to the coast. My family and I have enjoyed the Fraser Valley since that time and have called Surrey home for the last 35 years. Our son Mitch followed me into real estate and we have since formed one of the top teams in the Fraser Valley. Our daughter Eva followed her mom into teaching and is employed in the Surrey School District. She lives in Fraser Heights as well, with her husband Mike and some special grandkids of ours. Our yorkie “Lacey” lives with us in our Fraser Heights home.
In 1981 I became the sales manager for a new home company and got my real estate license in early 1982. Over the years I’ve been involved in development, construction, ownership, real estate investing and of course sales, by the thousands. Since 1992 I have been with Re/Max, the undisputed leader in real estate marketing worldwide and have really enjoyed the advantages that accrue to my clients from that relationship.
When I’m not negotiating deals or marketing properties for my clients I enjoy golf, snowboarding, hiking, wakeboarding and summer fun at our Shuswap Lake log cabin.
