Ben Houghton: Community, Connection, and the Okanagan Lifestyle

“I loved the new modern approach and boutique style at Stilhavn — it aligns with how I want to do business.” — Ben Houghton

A Career Rooted in People

Ben Houghton entered real estate in 2011, building his career around connection, trust, and community. From the start, his focus has been on working closely with people and helping them find their place within the Okanagan lifestyle.

In fact, what Ben enjoys most about being a REALTOR® is the opportunity to build community and welcome new people to the Okanagan. Helping clients settle into the region and feel at home is something he finds genuinely rewarding.

Ben’s business is centered around lake access properties, Lower Mission, and Kelowna North, while also working throughout the broader Okanagan. His knowledge of these areas allows him to guide clients through a range of options while staying closely connected to the lifestyle that defines the region.

What Sets Him Apart

Ben brings a highly personal approach to real estate. Known for his ability to listen and read people, he treats every client like family—taking the time to understand their needs and ensure they feel supported throughout the process.

Clients and colleagues describe him as empathetic and a strong listener, qualities that allow him to fully understand each individual he works with and build meaningful relationships along the way.

Beyond the Deal

Ben is proud of the life he built after moving across Canada to Whistler at just 20 years old—following his goals and creating a path rooted in passion and experience. He spent five years there, snowboarding over 100 days each season.

Today, when he’s not working, you’ll find him on the course at the Okanagan Golf Club or cheering on the Kelowna Rockets Hockey Club.

A Home at Stilhavn

At Stilhavn, Ben is part of a brokerage that reflects the way he approaches his business — modern, intentional, and relationship-driven. Within a boutique environment, he continues to focus on building strong connections and serving his clients with care across the Okanagan.
