Historic Nelson Brokerage Rosling Realty Joins Royal LePage, Welcomes Experienced Managing Broker
Nelson, BC – January 29, 2025 – Rosling Realty, a cornerstone of West Kootenay real estate since 1945, is joining Royal LePage, one of Canada's most trusted and established real estate brands. Effective January 1, 2026, the brokerage's 29 licensees will have access to the tools, national reach, and resources of a company that has been serving Canadians since 1913.
For nearly 80 years, Rosling Realty has been synonymous with integrity and local expertise throughout the West Kootenays. Founded by T.D. Rosling in 1945, the brokerage has been passed down through generations – from father to son, purchased by Ben Arcuri and passed again from father to son, all the while maintaining its focus on professional client service. Now, owners Kevin Arcuri and his longtime colleague, Tad Lake, are stewarding a new era for this local mainstay. With offices in Nakusp, Kaslo, and on Baker Street in Nelson, and reach extending to Salmo, the Slocan Valley, Castlegar, Rossland and Trail, Rosling Realty has deep roots across the region. After three decades of successful operations with Coldwell Banker, joining Royal LePage represents the perfect next step for a brokerage built on legacy, innovation, and exceptional service.
"We've always been obsessed with a client-centred approach," says Kevin Arcuri. "Royal LePage is a proudly Canadian company that shares our values and has been setting industry standards for over a century. This partnership allows us to continue our family legacy while giving our licensees the best tools available to serve their clients across the West Kootenays."
Royal LePage brings significant advantages to Rosling Realty's clients and agents. Properties listed with the brokerage now gain exposure through Royal LePage's network of over 20,000 agents across Canada and its national website, which attracts over 100 million visits annually. Agents have access to RLP Sphere, a leading industry website platform, along with sophisticated marketing tools, comprehensive training, and coast-to-coast referral opportunities. Most importantly, Royal LePage is 100% Canadian – a company that understands this market and has been innovating in Canadian real estate for 111 years.
The timing of this transition is strengthened by the addition of Jennifer Lebedoff as Managing Broker – a Kootenay-raised real estate professional with 24 years of comprehensive industry experience. Having previously led Canada's top-producing franchise in her organization as Managing Broker and CEO, she brings expertise in every facet of real estate: from award-winning sales as part of a top-producing team to brokerage leadership and consulting for agents and brokerages across North America.
This brokerage has always represented what's best about our communitys – trust, relationships, and deep local knowledge. Now we're combining that foundation with national reach and proven systems.
The result is a powerful combination: Rosling Realty's nearly 80 years of local expertise and trusted reputation across the West Kootenays, Royal LePage's century-plus of Canadian real estate leadership and innovation, and experienced leadership dedicated to agent success and client service excellence.
Rosling Realty has offices at 593 Baker Street, Nelson, BC; in Kaslo, BC; and Nakusp, BC. For more information, visit www.kootenay.homes
