MEET DESMOND

Desmond Arens grew up in Kamloops, spent years working on a ranch at Pritchard, and after getting married, he moved his family to the Shuswap as soon as he could.  Here he and his wife raised their three children while he worked as General Manager for his family’s business.   Sensing that the time was right for a change, Desmond completed his licensing with BCREA and now uses his extensive knowledge of the Thompson – Shuswap – Okanagan region to assist both buyers and sellers in achieving their Real Estate goals.
