At Geen+Byrne, our real estate business has been designed and built with a specialty focus on marketing agricultural property, including estates, farms, orchards, vineyards, lifestyle acreages, and equestrian properties. Well known for our targeted and substantial marketing packages, we at Geen+Byrne have the recipe for successful selling of agricultural investments.

Jerry and Elya understand the nuances and intricacies involved and, as with any large transaction, it is important to work with the experts. Geen+Byrne can help guide you through the process of selling or buying acreage, farm, vineyard, orchard, or equestrian estate property. Since 2003 our team has successfully closed over 250 farm and acreage transaction ends. These sales ranged in value from smaller more modest properties right up to our highest valued sale at $14,000,000 in 2025.

Geen+Byrne ensures, that whether their clients are looking for their first home, retirement home, or bustling agricultural business, Geen+Byrne is able to offer expert service coupled with trusted expertise!
 
Jerry Geen and Elya Byrne are considered two of the industry’s leading agricultural Realtors, known for a consistent inventory of agricultural listings as well as the expertise to help clients sell and purchase them.

Born and raised in the Okanagan, both Jerry and Elya come from Okanagan farming families and have in depth knowledge of the valley you can depend on. Jerry was raised on a large orchard operation and benefits from an intimate knowledge of the trade, while Elya currently has her own orchard.

Although residential real estate remains a highly predominant part of the business, the agricultural specialty is extremely rare and Geen+Byrne's clientele has found it universally useful.

Our original founder, Gerald Geen was, a lifelong Kelowna area orchardist. He also served as the president of the BC Fruit Growers Association for 8 consecutive years in the 1980s. He began his real estate career with RE/MAX Kelowna in 1991. Gerald helped pave the way firmly, entrenching the previous "Team Geen" into the local agricultural real estate industry. When Gerald retired in 2009 Jerry worked on his own until 2011, when Jerry and Elya began working together. The new Geen + Byrne Real Estate Team was launched in January 2015 and has been a great success. Gerald passed away in 2024 at the age of 87 but his kindness, his endless energy, and his work ethic remain an inspiration to all who knew him well.
