Meet the founders
Our storyDarren and Katharine (Kat) Leblanc are a husband-and-wife real estate team in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, with Real Broker Ontario Ltd., Brokerage. Darren started his career in 2001 at Harvey Kalles Real Estate in Toronto, where he became Broker Vice President, and later became Broker Owner of RE/MAX Sudbury. In 2022 he sold his ownership and joined Real with Kat. They’ve spent every year since proving that a northern market doesn’t mean a small ceiling.
The story of AgenticRealty
For years, the hardest part of real estate wasn’t selling homes. It was everything around it: the listing write-ups, the follow-ups, the video scripts, the market updates and the paperwork. Then we started handing that work to AI.
AI didn’t replace what we do with clients. It gave us back the time to do more of it. Our marketing became consistent, every lead got a fast answer, and a two-agent team could carry a business that closes about 150 deals a year.
AgenticRealty is how we teach it: the AI systems we run in our own business, taught by the people who still use them every day.

We’ve worked with clients from Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Mexico, Brazil, France and the United States. Video walk-throughs, calls across time zones and long-distance signings are part of the job.
We’ve handled corporate relocations in the film and TV, tire, banking, railway, police, hospital and mining sectors. That work runs on tight timelines, detailed reporting and strict paperwork.
We belong to the Sudbury Real Estate Board and the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), so our listings reach local buyers plus agents across the GTA.
