The Proof
We’re Darren & Kat Leblanc. We still sell homes every week.
If you found us through an ad, you’re right to be skeptical. Most agents have been burned by big promises before. So we’re not asking you to trust us. Here’s how to check every claim on this site yourself.

Step 1

Darren has sold real estate publicly since 2001. Our brokerage, listings, media features and community work are one search away.

Answering the Comment Section
The questions agents ask before trusting us, answered
“Those #1 rankings can’t be real.”
Every ranking on this page comes from The Real Brokerage: its leaderboards, its award decks and a public press release. They are rankings among Real’s agents in Canada for the period stated, and we always say whose ranking it is. Kat’s Q3 2026 #1 is hers. Darren’s 2023 award is his.
“Do you two actually still sell?”
Every week. Our team closes about 150 deals a year and lists 13–20 homes a month in Greater Sudbury. In Q3 2026 alone, Kat closed 35 sides and $31,526,999 in volume.
“AI marketing is just hype.”
We use it every day: listing descriptions, video scripts, follow-ups and content. It’s how a two-agent team keeps up with this volume and still answers every lead. We’ll show you where it helps, and where a person has to stay in charge.
“That only works in a big city.”
We work from Sudbury, a northern Ontario market, and still ranked first among Real’s agents in Canada: Darren in Real’s 2023 annual awards, Kat in Q3 2026. We’ve also served clients from Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Mexico, Brazil, France and the United States.

Google review of The Leblanc Group’s real estate service
“Their use of media, to create more exposure and to reach a wider audience, generated a lot of curiosity and interest in my property that I am sure would not have happened otherwise.”
