Our experience with Elaine from Vantage West was just awesome. We had approached a number of realtors but Elaine set herself apart right away with a positive energy and a desire to share her knowledge and expertise of the Okanagan market to make sure we got a house we'd be happy with. Her communication was excellent and her professional input invaluable. We ended up with a beautiful spot in Vernon and can't wait to get the keys!
My wife and I decided to visit Vantage West Realty Inc. early in our home buying process because of the many great reviews that they have. We were not disappointed as Elaine Godeghesi, helped us over 4 months, deal with the complexities of buying our first home. Being new to the region, she went above and beyond our expectations, by showing us multiple different areas, going through the process of multiple offers, and finally helping us get our new home due to her quick scheduling, professional expertise and great work ethic. At any point in time, Elaine is also backed by the incredible team at Vantage who ensure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
My wife and I bought our first home recently and we were pleased with the service that Vantage West provided. The whole process was made easy and less stressful than what I imagined it would be like. Simon, our realtor, is a very friendly chap who listens to you and does his best to make it a great experience. Thank you, Simon!
Buying a home is one of live's biggest and most stressful events. Stephanie made this experience as stress free as it could be. Right from the get go, Stephanie put together a plan to get to know us and figure out exactly what we were looking for. I thought I knew what we were looking for but there are so many factors involved. It is almost a science the way she slowly sifted through all the minutiae to find the home that fit just right for us. The team at Vantage that was working behind the scenes were of course a big part of this as well and deserve a lot of credit too. I will be recommending Vantage to all my friends.
As a first time investor Kelsey of Vantage West provided us a pleasant experience out of an anticipated stressful moment. The rental figures she gave us of potential investment units were accurate to the market which helped us decide which unit to buy. A month after acquiring the property and some minor renovations both levels were rented to the expected value and this took place at a challenging time of the year (winter), many thanks to our PM Lindsay. I would like to thank you Kelsey, Gayle and your brilliant team of professionals for helping us out, the unit we purchased is appropriate for our budget and I feel it would have been difficult to secure the right property if it weren’t for your expertise. I would most certainly recommend you to friends who are in the lookout for properties because our experience from your team is super outstanding! ----- Ian and Rhoda R.
We had the pleasure of working with Cassandra, Nadine and AJ and couldn’t have been more pleased. Cassandra was informative, attentive and always very accommodating even when we had obstacles to work around. Nadine also had an incredible level of professionalism and friendliness and was also very prompt and attentive. We would 100% recommend the Vantage team and work with them again!
Just used their website. So that's what I am reviewing. Excellent website with no ridiculous realtor pressure when requesting extra info. Follow up by realtor was very helpful. Well laid out website
My wife and I travelled to Kelowna in October to look at some properties around Big White. Amanda was a true professional, and went out of her way to accommodate us. You are an absolute star Amanda!
Nick was the best. A true professional. He made time for me and answered all the questions. He followed through on what he said and he contacted me many times after the possession day to make sure everything was good. He did a fantastic job. He’s genuinely a good person. I highly recommend him to everyone.
STOP LOOKING ANY FURTHER! Simon Ward of Vantage west is someone you need to call today! I cannot give this guy enough stars. We got EXACTLY what we were looking for. He was processional, knowledgeable and provided a buying experience that I didn't think was possible in real estate. I feel 100% confident that we made the right decision and know 5 years from now when we are looking for our next bigger better home. Simon Ward will make sure we get the best bang for our buck!
Arianne Summach was helpful and professional from the very beginning. This was a high stress move for me and Arianne walked me through the entire process, making me feel at ease. She targeted great houses for me to view and did not waste any of my time. I always found her to be available and knowledgeable. She did a great job negotiating on my behalf and made sure I fully understood all my options. Arianne had all the contacts I needed to complete the purchase, her recommendations for lawyers and other professionals was perfect. They all worked very well together and made buying my new home a good experience. I Highly recommended Arianne! Thank you!! - Cassandra
We are very happy with the work Kim did for us with our recent purchase. Kim and Vantage West were very attentive to our needs and made the entire process seamless for us. With Kim acting as our agent we were kept well informed, advised on our options, and had good representation. We highly recommend Kim and Vantage West. Keep up the good work!
Can highly recommend Fil Strycharek as a realtor to work with at Vantage West Realty. His professionalism, approach and expertise of the Okanagan market helped me make a confident offer which ended in success. I look forward to working with him again one day!
My boyfriend and I are incredibly happy with the experience we had working with Stephanie O. from Vantage West. She helped us find the perfect home in the exact neighbourhood we wanted in our price range! The second our house hit the market, Stephanie sent us a text with details since she recognized that this was exactly the right property for us. After the sale closed and we got the keys we had a minor plumbing issue and Steph was immediately available (on her day off I might add!) with contacts for plumbers and next steps. She exemplifies going above and beyond for her clients. She's extremely knowledgeable, truly cares about the people she works with, has a seemingly endless list of helpful contacts and negotiation tactics and is really fun to work with! I would highly recommend her to anyone look for their home or an investment property and we definitely plan to continue working with her in the future.
ELAINE GODEGHESI and the team promptly assisted us in finding the home we were looking for! We highly recommend Elaine Godeghesi as a top rated realty expert. If you haven't found your answer elsewhere... Call Elaine Godeghesi and the team today!
All i can say is unending thank you to Vantage West family specially to Darcy. We got what we want because of these guys, really really appreciated. We will recommend these to our friends that will need a place to stay in the future..more power to you guys and keep helping people like us. cheers
Stephanie is amazing. I couldn't recommend her enough. Her knowledge, professionalism, work ethic and negotiation skills are top notch. She used a proven process to quickly hone in on what I was looking for. She would often get me in front of high demand listings right away. And then when I found what I wanted, she used a proven negotiation technique to secure a multiple offer situation due to the quality of the offer we presented. If you want a shark, she's your realtor.
Incredibly professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable. The team at Vantage West went over and above! Cassandra and AJ had all the answers, and researched any information that wasn’t readily available. They did all this with great efficiency and speed which was critical in this crazy market. In the end they delivered our dream family home and facilitated the sale of our former home to great new owners. The process was very smooth, and the thoughtfulness and attention to detail was greatly appreciated! We’ve used VW for several other real estate transactions in the past, and we would recommend them anyone!
So far I am impressed, very professional, and friendly. Call them, you won't be disappointed!
The team at Vantage West truly go above and beyond for their clients. I had the pleasure of working with Elaine G to purchase my first home this summer. She began by getting to know me as a person, truly listening to what I was looking for and educating me on the market. My million and one questions were all answered with a smile. Amidst bidding wars and fire season, Elaine did everything possible to make the experience a smooth and positive one!
Last month I purchased my first piece of real estate through Nick Hazzi, and my experience with him and his team at Vantage West was an absolute dream. Being a first time real estate buyer the process was new to me and could have been nerve wracking if I hadn't chosen Nick as my realtor. Nick proved himself to be a wealth of real estate knowledge, answering all my questions and ones I didn't even think of without blinking an eye. And, he clearly has a large amount of experience handling real estate deals as the process was painless and he got me an amazing deal on the property. To top it off, Nick is a very personable and enjoyable guy to be around. This was very important to me as we spent a lot of time together viewing and discussing properties.
My family finally decided on a new home in the Black Mountain area and they had been recommended Vantage by a friend. They did quite enjoy the service from AJ, however the individual, Cassandra, who was doing most of the "work" was extremely unprofessional, said things no sales person should ever say to clients, ever, and not to be rude, just honest, but what a bland personality she had. Both myself and my mother, who was purchasing the home, have been in the sales industry our entire carrers, we've been through handfuls of seminars, years of experience, we are extremely well versed in client relations and this particular "realtor" would repeatedly tell my mother and her hubby how mad the builder was that they're asking to lower the price, what? Who is she working for? Her clients or the builder? Does she realize that this is her literal job? I get it, as a sales person, there's always going to be a bottom line, but telling a client inadvertently you're bad at your job, builders are getting mad at you, should never be part of the conversation. You act professionally and you work, you chase that money and build repoir, you don't destroy it. I will never forget when she told my mom that "maybe this isint the right home for you", I was dumbfounded. No honey, this is just too much work for you. She was also resistant to showing the homes multiple times, we had determined that it may have been interfering with her social life as the times she was resistant were times she showed up what I would call "ready for the club". Other times she would show up in stretch pants, not dressed in any professional manner, however on two occasions she did present herself semi professional. Not once did she suggest any other properties, which we also found odd coming from a "sales person". This all transpired over a year ago, I hope that for Cassandra she has learned from her inadequacies and has become a realtor with more integrity, drive and emotional intelligence. This isn't an industry where it's easy money all day, yes in some cases it maybe, we came knowing exactly what we wanted & she just made everything difficult and was not a pleasure to work with by any means. I hope she took this particular real estate transaction as an opportunity for growth and reflected on the situation and improved her overall performance. The only justification we made was that she lacked heavily in experience, which was why she was so terrible at her job. I can't say that after this experience we would recommend her to anyone. Reply to AJ's response: I know at times this type of information can be hard to digest, and while I fully comprehend your willingness to make things right but as stated in my review this transpired roughly a year ago & I struggle to comprehend what can be made right at this point in time. My mother and partner did purchase the home through Cassandra. I decided to wait on posting this review due to the fact that I would have left one star if I had done his immediately after the home purchase. I think you should know that multiple times Cassandra suggested they break contract, perhaps it was because she found my mother difficult, but that is not something that she should be forthcoming about directly to the client, that should have been discussed with her team who should have been coaching her on how to adapt to different types of clients. As a sales team manager myself, I'm asking where is her support system? Where's is her leader? Is she not communicating what transpires when they're not around? Is she asking her mentors how do I make this situation positive for me and my client. Trust me AJ, I will defend my team to the end aswell, I did see something when I hired them afterall. If they possess some of the abilities to create success for my establishment, and if they don't, I will work to help them develop, grow and get them there. I believe this needed to be said, your company should be made aware when certain situations don't go as well as they should have.
Fil and Kristen were amazing!!! Fil gave us his true and honest opinion and didn’t misguide us in any way when we were looking at all the homes. When we finally won the deal Kristen walked us thru step by step to complete the transaction with no issues. Many thanks to the both of you for all your help!!!!
We recently worked with Krista Marble in the purchase of our home. I feel like she really paid attention, and got our likes and dislikes right away, so we were able to make the most optimal use of our time. Coming from the lower mainland to view homes, this was extremely important. Krista was very communicative- texts and emails were always answered in a timely manner. Working with her was fantastic and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
We worked with AJ and Cassandra on the purchase of our first home which happened to be a new build. The service was incredible and I felt like Cassandra always had time for us even though this is the busiest real estate has been. Deal flow was great and their purchase process made you feel informed and that you always knew what the next step was going to be. Highly recommended - great people!
From start to finish Elaine was efficient, helpful, and I must say all around amazing! She answered every text, call and email quickly and answered all my questions each time! She made me feel like I was first priority each and every day. Elaine was so fun to work with and made buying my home so enjoyable! She helped me find an inspector, lawyer and her knowledge of the area was key in my decision to move forward with this buy. She is now my "go to gal"! If you want the 5 star experience with no stress, a few laughs and a great experience, Elaine is your woman!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Darcy and the Vantage West team. The process was very educational and helped us feel good about all the decisions we were making. We ended up finding the home of our dreams in the perfect amount of time. Highly recommend Darcy Fiander if you are in need of a professional and reliable realtor.
We are working with Roxanne O'Keefe at Vantage West to find our first home in Canada. Roxy is patient, informative and nothing is ever too much trouble. She makes us feel like we are her one and only client. Even though we may have to step away from the market for a while, when we are ready to buy our home, it will be with Roxy, she is our one and only choice!
Let me say thank to the Vantage Team, the process that we went through was world class and probably one of the best experiences that we have had, and I believe it was the people that made this amazing. The process that our Agent outlined to us from the beginning was not advertising material; it truly happened from the Sales Team (Darcy), to the Documents Team for removal of conditions and then the Closing Team. The hand off between each team was quite impressive and then continually reminding and driving next steps to ensure that nothing was missed along the way. I want to especially call out Darcy for answering all of our questions in detail and in a timely manner, and if he didn't know he would find out quickly and respond accordingly. He was professional and listened to our needs and catered to our personalities.
My wife and I are real estate investors. We have purchased two properties so far this year with Evan Goode as our agent. Our experience with Evan has been excellent. We find the whole Vantage West Realty team to be very professional and conscientious. From viewing the properties to closing on the deals, we feel that as buyers our best interests have been taken care of. We can highly recommend Evan and the Vantage West Realty team of professionals.
I can’t express into words how happy we are with the level of service Amanda Tak provided us. Amanda sold our 5 bedroom home and helped us find a condo that we are now very happy in. From start to finish, on both ends Amanda made it easy for us by always being available. Amanda is very personable and I feel like we have made a friend for life. She says it like it is and doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear. She is the real deal and I would recommend Amanda if you are buying or selling a home.
We had an amazing experience working with Fil and his team at Vantage West! We were first time homebuyers relocating from Ontario to the Okanagan. Fil and Ashley were incredible to work with, were so knowledgeable of the area and were well connected in the community. We felt 100% confident that we could lean on Fil's expertise to find us the perfect home in an area that suited our lifestyle. Fil did an incredible job securing the very first home we put an offer on despite a competitive market and multiple offers. Fil and his team were extremely professional and helped us throughout the entire purchasing experience. He also connected us with lawyers and a home inspector in the area, making the entire experience very smooth. We would 100% recommend Fil and will definitely be working with him and his team again in the future! They are the best!
Being new to buying homes, Darcy was exceptionally helpful during our entire journey. As cautious individuals with relatively low risk tolerance, we provided a long list of criteria for our search. Darcy was patient and supportive throughout the whole process and although it took awhile, he managed to hit a home run and found us a perfect property that checked off all the boxes. 100% would recommend. We will forever be grateful to Darcy for all of his hard work!
Vantage West has helped me buy and sell three times in the last two years. Nick and the team have been great from the start but I must say that he went above and beyond in the most recent purchase of my new home. Before, during and after the sale Nick and the team have been there to support me. Huge kudos and highly recommended as a full service and very professional realty organization.
Kim Taylor is a hardworking realtor. She is quick to answer my needs and I feel like she has my best interest in mind. Thanks for your help in finding me the perfect house!
Elaine has worked a miracle, she loves a challenge and is one of the most professional, thorough, and experienced realtors I have ever worked with. Her advice every step of the way was 100% correct. She works with and surrounds herself with the best of the best. My purchase was complicated and took time but Elaine was always one step head and on top of every communication. Thank You for all your amazing work on finding my family an incredible property!!
Pathetic and annoying. A dog with 1 leg could run a better brokerage.
Competent, knowledgeable, patient and very pleasant - what a winning combination! What can be a very daunting task turned into a very enjoyable and fun time. We looked forward to seeing Krista everyday - she was so competent, accommodating, patient and just plain enjoyable to be around. We were almost sorry she found us our "perfect" house so quickly (a credit to her for really listening to what we wanted). She is someone that we would love to maintain a relationship with long after the real estate deal is over (and we can't say that about many business transactions). She is a gem! We feel very lucky to have connected with her and Vantage West. Really like and appreciate Vantage West's approach to customer service.
Working with Amanda at Vantage West has been such an incredible experience. This was my first time buying a property and she couldn't have made it any easier. Amanda is always on top of everything and gets things done so fast. I expected it to be super difficult because I work constantly and my parents are living out of town but she always had everything lined up and ready to go. I would recommend her to anyone, she is incredible. Thank you Amanda for making buying my first place a piece of cake. All the best!
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Ali Mazzei and our new home purchase. In such trying times where the market is a difficult one for buyers, she was truly the catalyst in us finding and purchasing our new home. She is a true pleasure to work with. She's responsive, caring, professional and overall such an upbeat positive person to be around. We've officially found our realtor in the Okanagan for all future home purchases. Do yourself a favour and work with this remarkable realtor from Vantage West Realty Inc.
I am so grateful to Nick and his team. Last year I wanted to get a quick sale on my house. Nick was so informative and helpful. Very professional and easy to discuss and brainstorm with. I never felt out of the loop on what was going on. Him and his team helped to get my home show ready and because of that we had many showings and a very quick sale. Nick is friendly and goes out of his way to meet your needs. If you want the best experience with selling your house, Nick and his team are the way to go. They go above and beyond for their clients. The best in the Okanagan.
Darcy was great! We initially didn’t know what we wanted and were pretty sure we would take a while to buy. Darcy was patient, and took the time to show us as many places as we needed. As a first-time home buyer, it can be daunting, but I never felt “alone” in the processes.
Another good experience with Nick Hazzi and his team at Vantage West. Sold the house with their help. We have to thank Nick and Maggie for the professional approach, good pricing strategy, and advice during the process. Someone would say on this market it is easy to sell. Not quite so if you want a good price. And that is the agent's job: advertise properly, time the viewings, coordinate the negotiations etc. All the proper paperwork is the must to do the legit deal. And that's what Nick & Maggie of Vantage West did. Awesome job.
Amanda Tak and the Vantage West team are truly exceptional. I'm an experienced buyer and was amazed at how responsive and proactive they are - truly world class service. Amanda was following up with me regularly on all conditions and key steps, Kristen was coordinating the team of lawyers, releases, and the other realtor, they really know how to make the deal a pleasant and rewarding experience - from search through to possession, they manage it all. THANK YOU!
Beyond impressed. As a first time home buyer who had to quickly find a place unexpectedly in the rather competitive market, Amanda Tak was there every step of the way. I never felt pressured into a sale, Amanda was there to guide me from start to finish (and beyond). From our first meeting, to helping me find a home that was suited for a young woman with a dog, to going above any beyond in helping with the rather foreign and stressful process buying a home can be, Amanda excelled in every single way. Amanda went as far as to replace the broken appliances in my place on her own time, and helped me become set up through purchasing a wonderful gift basket of kitchen and home supplies. Amanda always ensured she put my needs first, promptly following up on any concerns and questions I had. Buying a home for the first time is scary, emotional, exciting, overwhelming and nerve racking, however having Amanda there each step of the way helped so much. Amanda became so much more to me than my real estate agent, she also became a great friend and someone I would always recommend to family and friends who are looking for a real estate agent who truly exemplifies what it means to care.
Amanda was recommended to us by a family member and provided excellent service from the beginning of the process and until well after closing. We highly recommend Amanda without any reservations. Our experience began with the purchase of our first home and was extremely positive. Fast forward a few years later her work ethic and relatable personality in the past had us choose her as our seller realtor as well without any hesitation. The selling process was explained in detail with numerous check-ins and updates until our house was up for sale. Luckily with the right price point and recommendations from Amanda and her team at Vantage West Realty our house sold the same day. Most important to us, Amanda was always honest with us about what she thought, was always available and helpful, and we always felt that she truly had our best interests at heart. In the future, if we ever decide to move back into the area or know someone in need of a realtor we know who to recommend:). Thanks Amanda you were the best!!!
Nick has been an outstanding resource for us. Over the past few years we have relied on him for insight into the local real estate market and his team have supported us in transactions in other cities. Nick has proven that the relationship with Vantage West far exceeds a one time transaction.
We are working with Roxanne O'Keefe at Vantage West to find our rental property. She is wonderful to work with and always available to answer any questions. She goes out of her way to help us research or to refer us to experts that can answer our questions. Even though our deal didn't go through, she was very patient and kind throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Roxy.
Professional yet caring; prompt, thorough and understanding. The best combination of sales agent and service ever. Stephanie Ostash is a person who definitely want to work with! Sale within one day!
I have had the pleasure to work on several deals with the dynamic Amanda Tak, at Vantage West Realty Inc. She is a delight to work with, no obstacle is too great for her to conquer. She worked tirelessly to help me find my new home in this demanding fast paced market. I couldn’t be happier.
When we decided to sell our home in Kelowna, we were quickly overwhelmed with the process. It became clear that interviewing realtors was going to be a difficult process, because at first glance it seemed like everyone was offering the same service. That is until we sat down with Fil at Vantage West. Fil was professional and very accommodating with our limited understanding. But, the big difference with Fil is that we were left with confidence in the Vantage West difference. Let's be honest, homes in the Okanagan have been selling themselves lately. But we weren't looking for someone to simply go through the motions for us, to list the house and see what happened. Fil sold us on the steps they take above and beyond everyone else we had talked to. Vantage West was able to market the house and generate the interest we were after. We had a great experience with the entire team at Vantage West, from that first meeting with Fil, through the listing process, navigating the offers and the closing. We want to send a big thanks to the entire team. Vantage West comes highly recommended by us now any time Okanagan real estate comes up.
Nick, Maggie and the crew at Vantage West were fantastic to work with! We needed to do some work to our place to get it ready to sell and Nick put us in touch with excellent trades people that got our place looking amazing in no time. Once it was listed we had to adjust our goals along the way and Nick did a great job of helping us through that to make the decisions best suited to what we wanted to achieve. Nick also managed any issues that came up to keep what can be a stressful process going as smoothly as possible for us. I highly recommend Vantage West to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Kelowna!
My first encounter with Vantage West was in 2016, when I purchased a condo that was sold via foreclosure. Since then I have purchased three more properties via Nick acting as my buyers agent. Nick and the entire staff have been very helpful with paperwork, arranging inspectors & lawyers to deal with closings. Thanks guys!
Simon was awesome! This was our first time buying a home and he started out with making sure we were educated in the home buying process and the market that we were dealing with. He was super patient with us and made sure that we only went for listings that met our criteria. We never felt rushed or pushed - he made us stick to what we wanted. And when we were ready to make a move, he was there and acted fast and we always felt like he made our wants and needs top priority.
Very professional and very helpful with our house's purchase. Always available and very fast to provide recommendation and help. Thanks to them the process was smooth and done on time. It has been a pleasure working with their team (big thanks to Art!). We felt we were supported and guided in the right direction all along the process, from the search of the house to the finalization of the sale. They were always available and put a lot of effort working with us. they were patient with our questions and requests. They were always responsive and trying to find the best solution. The relationship with the vendor's realtor was not, I would say, the best, but they were always positive. Our first contact with the company was done by chance, because we left our contact information on a webpage. They have been very professional from the beginning, and not too pushy and we appreciated that. They were respectful of our pace but ready when we were. We will definitively work with them in the future when needed. Highly recommended.
Working with Simon Ward to purchase two properties in Kelowna was an absolutely stellar experience! Simon was not only highly knowledgeable and skilled, but he went above and beyond at each and every step of the process. From the moment we jumped on a Zoom call to get to know our options a bit better, to several weeks after we closed the last deal when we needed some help - Simon has always had our back, no questions asked. He is very experienced, efficient, professional, honest, and an outstanding communicator. I’ve worked with different realtors in the past and I can safely say that none of them (even close friends of mine) can genuinely hold a candle to Simon. Thank you Simon and everyone at Vantage West for helping us acquire these two properties, and we will definitely be doing more business in the future! As for anyone wondering whether or not Simon is the right professional for you - the answer is a resounding yes, you’ll thank me later.
In the present market, it is difficult opportunity to get it on a place of your decision . in any case, let me disclose to you Roxanne O'Keefe and her group did incredible job all through the interaction. she generally answer the all of your inquiries and questions which we remember improving spot. I'm completely satisfied with the arrangement and thanks roxanne for aiding me at each phase of purchasing a house. she is best at her job and has extraordinary abilities! I will consistently be in contact with VantageWestRealty organization for my future arrangements. Thanksalot everybody. good wishes!
I lost my job when Peace Valley shutdown after 13 years in northern BC and decided to start a new life for my family in the Okanagan area. We were so lucky to connect to with Vantage West and work with Stephanie Ostash to find a new home. We felt like we were her most important clients. She made personal messages for my children, included them in the home search process, kept us informed on every step, and handled negotiations like a boss! She helped us find the perfect home to suite our new lifestyle and priorities. I highly recommend Stephanie for anyone with Real Estate needs. Her skills were above and beyond the service I would expect in this or any other industry.
Roxanne O’Keefe was not what I expected as a real-estate agent but ended up being a pleasure to have. She was smart and talented, upfront and honest, trustworthy, thorough, and funny. She never left any questions unanswered and always responded promptly. She sold our home within days of listing, obtained an above asking price and assisted us in purchasing our new home. "We were incredibly impressed with her goal oriented action. She deserves the highest praise. We will definitely be referring my family and friends to Roxanne
As a first time home buyer Ali and her team made the experience so wonderful! It was zero stress and worry for me because she was so on top of things. I am so glad to have worked with Ali, she was a delight and made the experience fun! Definitely recommend working with the Vantage West Team!
Krista Marble is a great at Vantage! We are first time buyers and she has been so patient with us and always willing to meet up and answer our questions. I'd highly recommend her if you are in need of a realtor! She has your best interest in mind at all times!
Great experience working with Vantage West. We had a great realtor that we loved back in Ontario...BUT...the experience of having a whole team taking care of you was game changing for us. They were on the ball and went above and beyond the whole way through the process. In the end, Nick called us with the house we ended up buying knowing that it was perfect for us after many viewings that left us disappointed. Through it all he paid attention to what we really wanted and got us the perfect place and made the deal happen!
Our realtor Amanada Tak was amazing. She went above and beyond for us. As we moved from Vancouver Island to here. Cant say enough about her. Would highly recommend. Love this gal
Heard of the Vantage West team through my brother who had worked with them in the past. Was paired up with Steph as my realtor and she killed it from the start. I was looking for an aggressive yet highly professional realtor and did Steph ever step up to the plate. She was always very proactive with the hunt for a home and helped me through every step of the process. Not only was she helpful during the process, she continues to offer her assistance if needed with anything home or realty related. Thank you Steph! In addition, it was awesome to have the support of the Vantage West team behind me to help the property purchase flow smoothly and effortlessly. From organizing the home inspection to connecting me with lawyers and brokers to ensuring all my ducks were in a row for subject removal, the team at Vantage West was a treat to work with.
I had an amazing experience with Darcy Fiander! From the moment we met him for the introduction to handing over the keys, he was the utmost professional. The level of service was exceptional. He was patient with my search and there was no pressure to make a purchase happen at any point. His responsiveness, knowledge and guidance helped me find the perfect home. Even after getting the keys, he was there to assist - from helping me find reputable trades to connecting me with the property management side of Vantage West for questions on my rental. I thoroughly enjoyed Vantage West's way of house hunting and would recommend this office and Darcy Fiander in it to anyone looking to buy or sell!
We loved working with Roxanne during our home search. She was always helpful and very knowledgeable and was always happy to answer our 101 questions as first time home buyers. She led us through what felt like an impossible buyers market, but she was always happy to show us more houses until she got us into a home we truly love. We never felt pressure to move faster, or buy a house we didn't love, and always felt she had our best interests at heart. She listens attentively and knows what her buyers want out of their new home, and works hard to make it happen! We will miss working with Roxanne and look forward to working with her again one day.
I would highly recommend Vantage West Realty Inc. to anyone selling or buying property in the future. The process was relatively simple and hassle free, and Stephanie was a pleasure to work with. Her skills deserve recognition and I will most certainly be using her again for my upcoming real estate ventures.
We really appreciated Simon’s sincere and down to earth approach with helping us find a condo we really love. He was very easy to talk to, actively asked for our feedback during showings, allowing him to quickly narrow our search. The result was our finding our new home within two weeks. Simon excelled at keeping us informed and never once were we left wondering what was next. He answered our questions in a thorough and timely manner. We would not hesitate to have Simon as our agent again or refer him to anyone who needs a realtor.
Thank you TJ Dumonceaux for helping me find my dream home! As a single, first time home buyer, the buying process seemed unbelievably daunting but TJ and the Vantage West team gave me the most positive introduction into the real estate world. TJ walked me through the entire process with patience, confidence and professionalism. He was extremely knowledgable, able to answer all questions with ease and found answers promptly to my questions he didn't know. TJ truly reflected going above and beyond. I felt completely supported throughout the process, he explained every step in depth and was so attentive. TJ found listings that were tailored to my style and my needs. I am so grateful to him for guiding me through this huge milestone in my life. Thank you TJ!
We got in touch with Vantage West a whole year before we were ready to start looking for our home. Daniel was very respectful of our timeline and checked back in every 3-4 months as I had indicated. We never felt rushed or hurried or even pressured to up our timeline. When the time came to get serious and find our home we were placed in contact with Kim Taylor. Kim has exceeded all of our expectations from start to finish. From the very first meeting at our house to go over documentation, wants, needs, criteria and understand us, as indivuals, we knew we would be well taken care of. She worked tirelessly and effectively to bring it to the table and she delivered on all levels. Communication and timeliness were very important to us and she nailed it. Along with her sense of humor and knowledge of real estate, market evaluations, negotiating, execution of our purchase and handling of the entire deal, she truly won us over. She took a great deal of care and pride to make sure we got the best deal and navigated us confidentaly to purchasing our home. We will absolutely use Kim again in any future real estate transaction. Trustworthy, honest, dependable, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. What more can you ask for? Thank you so much!!
When we decided to purchase a new home early this year, I had no idea what kind of market we were jumping into. Thankfully with Amanda Tak by our side, we managed to find a home and make a successful bid against numerous other offers. I believe Amanda gets full credit for our success. She advised us on how to make a good offer and then went over and above to put us in a good position to get it. At first I was concerned with Amanda’s youth as a realtor. But she quickly put me at ease with her knowledge of the market and real estate in general. Her energy level is phenomenal. Another area where Amanda shines is her integrity and honesty. Anytime there were any issues whatsoever, she took full responsibility and dealt with them immediately. She always made me feel like I was her most important client! I feel blessed to have met this dynamic young woman. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor that’s totally on your side.
My wife and I listened our house a few years ago with Vantage West and Dan Daynswood was our agent. We actually requested Dan because we new he was honest and forthright and was great with people. He has a way about him that makes you feel well taken care of and that he is looking out for your best interest. It turns out that the house sound very quickly and we got exactly what we were hoping for. The experience was very pleasant and will definitely use Dan's services again. I highly recommend Dan for the sale or purchase of your next home.
We could not be more thrilled with the level of service that Nick, and Maggie provided. They were able to get us an unconditional offer on our home at a great price with closing dates that suited our needs! The level of excellency that Vantage West provides for its clients is amazing. They really go above and beyond! The team at Vantage West guides you through the entire process and helps you every step of the way. Nick and Maggie were always just a text away and answered any questions that we had in a very timely manner. We have moved around a fair bit in the last eight years and have worked with a few different Realtors, so we can honestly say that the service that Vantage West provides is unparalleled! We would highly recommend using Nick and Maggie to buy/sell your next home!! Thank you for everything!
Ezra went above and beyond to help us find a quality home within a short, pressured time frame. He was quick to respond, offered leads on new places coming up, even showed a place to us on his day off. It is rare to find people these days who are understanding/empathetic and true to their word; Ezra is a trustworthy, professional and kind individual. Highly recommend him and Vantage West. Lindsey was helpful too in quickly setting up appointments for showings, and Crystal also has been an amazing help through this process of finding the right home. Very grateful for all your help!
I had the pleasure of working with Chris Muller in searching for a property that suited my very specific needs. It was complicated because I live abroad but Chris was very friendly, patient, diligent and thorough. He went out of his way to find information and did research for me that was above and beyond the scope of what I could have expected. Throughout the process I had the feeling that he was trying to help me as a person and that gaining a commission or a quick sale was not the important point for him. I thoroughly reccomend Chris Muller!
Dear Amanda and Vantage West Realty Inc, Thank you for helping me find my dream home! Buying a home can be quite a daunting experience, but due to your guidance and experience it was quite pleasant and an exciting journey for me. I appreciate that you have walked me through many properties, as seeing a property in person helped me get a bigger picture of the current market and make my final decision much easier. Throughout the process you were dedicated, trustworthy, and at the end negotiated the best deal for me. Thank you kindly for doing such a fantastic job. I have been settled in for about a month now and are enjoying every aspect of my home. I will be glad to refer you to all my friends and family because of your excellent service. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavor.
Amanda Tak Went above and beyond over and over again on my behalf as the seller of a property with three rentals on it in Kelona BC. I knew Vantage West was a good real estate office but I truly believe that Amanda is the jewel in the crown of that office. She is so helpful to me as a person as well as her actions as a realtor showed me she was on top of it she cared. Her list of people to help me with things that needed to be done to the property was extensive and good price and they did a great job. Between the pandemic me being in Hawaii her being in Kelona where the property is and all the communications we had to do between the three different sets of tenants as well as working with the buyers who were coming to see it and other realtors went beautifully. It was easy to take her advice and follow through she followed through as well and kept me informed and when sticky situations would happen we would talk about how to deal with them and her advice was always spot on I am not that easy to please and I’m a bit cranky at times. I found Amanda Tak wonderful to deal with and I suggest anyone out there who really wants to sell their property list it with her listen to her discuss whatever issues and go for it you can do this with Amanda.
Amanda is as down to earth as they come and that’s what made her so great to work with. She was very knowledgeable about all aspects of housing in the area, and if she didn’t know something she was very quick to respond later with the answer. Amanda took the time to really find out what sort of property I was interested in and although very professional, she was easy to discuss things with and really paid attention to details. She was always eager to show me properties and really went the extra mile to find other options. Amanda’s sparky personality made it a real joy to work with her! I would EASILY choose her as my realtor again and highly recommend her to anyone needing her services. Thank you so much Amanda! - Carmen Sutton-Olson
Working with Amanda was an absolute pleasure. She is highly professional, super-friendly and very knowledgeable. We were able to find a great house and close the deal super quick all thanks to her promptness and responsiveness. Even in the hot market, she was always on her toes and was prompt in addressing our queries and relaying our messages to the sellers. I'd highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs. Thanks to the Vantage West team for connecting her with us. :)
AMANDA ROCKS !! We bought our first home through her. She is very knowledgeable and knows the market very well. She is very diligent and had a nice spreadsheet for us to show us what property works best for us and in our budget. She is always just a call/text away and very responsive. Would definitely recommend her.
Fil Strycharek and Vantage West are top notch. We sold our house with them within a week. The market was hot so it turns out most real estate was moving fast, but Fil is part of a very professional and effective team. The team is specialized, with individuals supplying excellent pre-marketing, staging, photography and service references. All that, along with Fil's poised, knowledgeable and responsive help. If you're serious about selling, want the best thought out and professional service you can get, call Fil at Vantage West.
ALI MIZZAI WAS AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT TO WORK WITH. VERY EFFICIENT , TAKING CARE TO ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS AND ADDRESS ALL MY CONCERNS. GREAT COMMUNICATION. MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE FAMILY THAT SHE IS TAKING CARE OF!
Darcy Fiander and the team at Vantage West Realty did a fantastic job of helping us buy our first home! Darcy was always available to answer our questions, show houses at a moments notice and provide important information when needed. He was very friendly, outgoing and easy to communicate with. We never had any doubt that he understood exactly what we were looking for, and did everything to help find us a beautiful home. Scott and I would definitely recommend Darcy to anyone interested in buying real estate in the Okanagan! Thank-you Darcy and Vantage West for taking such good care of us! Pauline and Scott
I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie and the Vantage West team. I’m a young home owner and they all made the process stress free. I was taken care of throughout the whole process. A huge thank you to Stephanie and the individuals who I worked closely with. This is a huge milestone in my life and it was all possible because of this team. I will not hesitate to recommend this team to anyone.
Amanda Tak was the perfect person to help us buy our first home. She did a wonderful job getting to know us and helping us find something that was perfect for what we needed. We were never rushed and appreciated Amanda’s patience as we felt our way through what could have been a stressful process. I can’t imagine anyone works harder than Amanda and I would certainly recommend.
Our review is for the wonderful Roxanne O'Keefe. The process started with Roxanne having a video chat with us to first go over the entire process, what we can expect, what her role was, and how we could prepare ourselves best in our search for our new home. She explained everything so well and we immediately felt comfortable trusting her to be a part of our journey. Once we discussed what we were looking for, Roxanne narrowed our search and was able to arrange lots of viewings for us with our special circumstances. She was knowledgeable, professional, timely and also down to earth and relatable. Looking back at the entire process, we couldn't imagine doing this without Roxanne and are so happy that she was part of our team. She recommended mortgage brokers which also went above and beyond to make sure things were done right for us. She is an absolute delight to work with and we have nothing but good things to say about her. Vantage West is lucky to have her as part of their team and we are so appreciative of everything she has done for us. We would 100% recommend her to anyone and will be using her if the need arises in the future - A+A
Working with Nick and the Vantage team was an experience that we won’t soon forget. As first-time home buys we were overwhelmed even before we understood the juggling process and just how fast we would have to move once we pushed ‘play’. This team was able to provide true end-to-end service (and then some) with a framework that helped us manage every step and a network to take care of the rest. From master negotiating, to late night phone calls and subject removals, through to champagne and a helping hand waiting for us on move-in day. We couldn’t have managed it without this team. Thank you, all!
Darcy was so easy to work with. He was very accommodating with setting up showings and letting us see what was available in the market. He worked very hard for us to get us exactly what we wanted in our first home. He also put us in touch with other professionals which was a great help. Thanks Darcy!
Elaine at Vantage West is the best agent I’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with. Fully engaged at all times, she took the uncertainty and stress out of the situation. Anything I needed, or question I asked was immediately addressed with the words “on it”. And she was on it, never had to ask twice, or wait for a reply. She and her crew are compassionate, competent and professional. I’ve never dealt with an agent or agency like this before, they are head and shoulders above all the rest. Truly amazing.
Darcy and his team have made our buying experience an enjoyable one. They are there to help us every step of the way, from searching to closing. They are truly knowledgeable and professional. We enjoyed working with them and we highly recommend them.
We had an amazing experience working with Amanda Tak. Her professionalism and service was above and beyond. Amanda was completely supportive, engaged, informed and exceptionally helpful. She made our condo purchase a streamlined and relatively easy process. In addition to this Amanda’s passion for her work is so apparent. She truly represents her clients as though they are her friends. It was truly a pleasure working with Amanda and we would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone all day long!!!!
Our experience with Simon Ward and the team at Vantage West was fantastic. From the start Simon was very professional, and walked us through their entire process. Through their market education Simon helped us to fully understand the process, and the ins and outs of home buying. We feel this went along way in eventually finding the home that was right for us. Simon was always there at a drop of a hat to answer questions or just get stuff done. Simon went over and above through the entire process of purchasing the home, and was even helpful after ensuring we had everything we needed once we are all moved in.
Vantage west is a reliable and honest company. I will recommend them to my family and friends. Thank you for having a good company that has great people representing it..
Roxanne is the BEST realtor. Completly took the stress out of our first time buying experience and made it fun and exciting! She really helped us find our dream home and made sure that we understood the whole process. I would recommend her to any of my family or friends and will be using her again in the future. We love you Roxanne! - Dakota and Niki.
Elaine made the home buying process an enjoyable one. As a first time home buyer, I had complete confidence in her. She really went to bat for me without even being asked. She was in constant communication with me from start to finish, and welcomed any questions I had during the entire process. Educating her clients on the home buying process is very important to her. I would highly recommend Elaine to anybody looking for a realtor.
Fil Strycharek is the man. Thanks for all your help. Would recommend him and the whole Vantage West team in a heartbeat. ????
Cathy Robinson: Best selling experience of my life. Darcy Fiander was amazing. He was always available and kept me up to speed on everything happening. His organization and ability to negotiate with integrity got my house sold in 3 days!!!! I recommend him to anyone who wants an honest, knowledgeable, and hard working realtor ????
We were very happy with the service offered by Roxanne O'Keefe. She was prepared, ever ready to help, and always knowledgeable. Her advice and hard work helped us find a home on advantageous terms. Roxanne was both friendly and professional. We highly recommend her.
The Vantage West team provided a first class experience. The successful sale of my condo was as important to Fil and the Vantage team as it was to me. I would highly recommend Vantage to anyone looking to sell.
Our realtor, Elaine G., was fantastic, and also ensured we were all on the same page & kept us on track too, as we went through the home searching and buying process. Definitely would recommend Elaine, and Vantage West Realty, to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!!
We spent a lot of time this past year with Darcy Fiander looking at homes during a difficult housing market for buyers. We met Darcy at an open house and after working with him, we couldn’t have been more satisfied with the process. In this competitive market Darcy gave us excellent guidance, unflagging availability, and deep knowledge about a really wide range of homes that we looked at. Darcy is professional and works very hard to understand his client's needs so he can deliver the very best service. I am confident in giving Darcy the highest recommendation for anyone looking for an amazing agent.
Worked with Nick to sell my condo in town. In less than a week of just talking to him I already had an accepted offer at full asking price! Couldn't have been easier. I had talked to him a few years ago and the market wasn't great so he suggested waiting to sell. So refreshing to work with someone who I can trust to think about my best interests instead of just getting a sale. That's why I came straight back!
We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.
My wife and I worked with Fil Strycharek on both the sell- and buy-side of our most recent real estate transaction. Fil's experience, counsel and negotiation skills helped us navigate what would otherwise be a very intense set of decisions with total confidence. This is our second time working with Fil and I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. You'll be in good hands! 10/10 would work with Fil again.
I recently had the pleasure of getting some advice from Lindsay Anderson of Vantage West Realty Inc. in Kelowna. Lindsay was incredibly versed in the British Columbia Landlord/Tenancy act and reviewed our situation and was able to offer sound advice. We would not hesitate to recommend her as she helped alleviate much of my stress in a very stressful situation.
If you are a property investor, this company is your best bet. Lindsay is the property manager of our rental property. She is one of the best in this profession. Knowledgeable, responsible and capable of handling tough situations like dealing with difficult tenants. In my case, there has been many undesirable occurrences in which she has been competently managing the challenges and resolved the issues. She is always responsive and available on my contacts as well as the tenants’ calls, especially when it comes to addressing an emergency. I highly appreciate her and her team’s commitment and efforts.
Nick Hazzi sold our home in Vernon, BC. Nick treated us like a priority even though we knew he was very busy - both him and his team (Maggie was amazing) were very available and ensured we were well supported throughout the entire process . We were very happy with Nick’s service and would highly recommend him to our friends and family!
To be honest, I was hesitant in the transcript like transaction I experienced initially when I made my inquiry using Vantage West Realty, but after speaking with Kim Taylor, she sealed the deal. She did a great job of listening and understanding my needs and preferences. She went above and beyond in ensuring I knew what was going on and what to expect as I remotely purchased my assignment, site unseen. For any concern I had she would look into it and provide me with an answer or solution. Despite unforeseen difficulties in negotiations (the seller coming back and asking me for more than what they listed their property for) she prioritized my needs and worked hard in getting me the place I wanted. She is younger but carries herself professionally proving age is nothing but a number and how much your attitude in life sets you apart from others. I could go on and on about how prompt and delightful Kim's customer service is, but you'll have to experience it to see how she really cares about her clients!
Simon and his staff, from the Receptionist to his Assistant, were fabulous. Extremely responsive and proactive from start to finish. Simon took us out of our comfort zone, and he found the home of our dreams. We highly recommend Simon Ward and the Vantage West staff. Thank you for the journey!
I am in my 'Happy Place' because of Vantage West! Being a first time home buyer and not 100% confident making decisions based on my own knowledge I was extremely fortunate to receive smart and honest advice from our realtor Nick Hazzi. The process was made simple, easy and stress-free. Requests I had were met and achievable by Nick & team in a timely matter. I am happy in my new home and couldn't ask for a better and memorable experience when purchasing what some may find a 'stressful or daunting' decision. Thank you again to Nick & team for all your endless hard work!
We work with Amanda Tak to buy our dream summer home in Kelowna. Amanda was fantastic, she took the time to go over our needs, showed us many homes and we found what was the best for our family. She really went beyond what I was expecting from a realtor. Really personal approach! I truly recommend her for any needs in real estate, she know her job well!
I had a great experience working with Vantage West! My realtor, Krista Marble, was knowledgeable, reliable, honest and very helpful through the buying and selling process. Her expertise ensured I sold my property quickly and for more than I listed it for. I loved the extra information and support offered by Vantage West to help me prepare for my move. I will definitely recommend them in the future.
Amanda Tak was amazing throughout the process of finding our new home. My journey changed substantially after COVID arrived but it was a blessing in disguise. Amanda was a little sceptical of my little house at first but my it won her over and she fought for me to get the best deal on what I knew was my new home for my boys and I. I’ve purchased homes before but this was the first time on my own and that can be a little scary! She made sure I was looked after throughout the process from inspections to legal support and put me in excellent hands as I’m a very busy mom of two boys, and also had a broken foot throughout the entire process. She listens to you and puts 110% into working for you to get you where you want and need to be. She is available at all hours and never lets a text or a question go unanswered. You are part of her team when working with her and I recommend her services to anyone looking for real estate. She is passionate and intelligent and makes the entire process fun!! Even when it’s most stressful, you never feel alone! It was an experience I am grateful for and will remember always!
We are very grateful for the great care we had with Elaine, as we are new to this area and did not know all the details that buying a home requires in Kelowna. From the beginning she was very clear and with a great disposition to help us, the most important thing for us was to find a person who was focused on understanding our needs and having the necessary patience to find our ideal home and Elaine was by far that person, always oriented on guiding us and showing us all the right information to make the best decisions. I honestly can say that Elaine Godeghesi was a blessing to us in our process, she was always giving the extra mile for us and I know that she will exceed anyone's expectations just like she did for me and my family. Thank you so much, Elaine. Cheers!
We called Vantage West to sell our investment property, as we thought that they would be the most capable of targeting other investors looking for a solid investment property. We were connected with Nick Hazzi and we liked their marketing strategy. They focus on creating some buzz with a 'coming soon' sign at the property, as well as great pictures and a virtual tour. We listed on a Tuesday and had multiple offers over list price by Wednesday. Nick was a great communicator, as were the staff there. All in all 5 stars and I've already recommended Nick to a friend.
What a wonderful experience selling our condo. Darcy Fiander was patient, kind and sensitive as we had to sell out father's condo after he passed away. Through the lengthy process of probate and the challenges of selling a property during the covid crisis, Darcy came through 100% every step of the way. When we were finally able to put our place on the market, it was sold is 3 days. Darcy and the team at Vantage were well worth their percentage! Special thanks to our stager Heather who Darcy connected us with. Heather put the sparkle in the condo that helped it sell and also went above and beyond in assisting us in clearing out the condo after the sale. You should not hesitate to use the Vantage Team.
Absolutely 5 star service from the team at vantage west from the minute I was in contact with them we were treated like family from selling our home in under 2 weeks for the price we wanted to the property management finding us a perfect short term rental while we shopped for our new home and on to the purchase of our perfect house Nick and Gail and the team were on it 100% I cannot say enough good things about my experience great job guys ????????
My experience with Nick and his team was fantastic. They put me in my first home quick and painlessly. No regrets here
Worked with Amanda Tak on a commercial lease. She was diligent and professional on every level. With Amanda the process was so easy and yet so very comprehensive. I look forward to working more with her in the future as opportunities arise. Bravo and well done!
While the whole Vantage West team had to pitch in on our deal due to some complications, Arianne was SO great throughout our whole process. She first set us up with a website that was tailored to our wants and needs as buyers. She then handled our sale in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and even reached out to sellers that had taken down their listings to see if they were still interested in selling. This is really how we got our place, through her efforts of reaching out to expired or taken down listings. We can’t recommend her enough, she was always there at all hours answering the thousands of questions we had as first time home buyers. Being able to get recommendations for vendors and contractors to assess the home was also invaluable to us. We had to postpone our large wedding celebration due to the Pandemic, and so we are overjoyed to have been able to buy our first home only days before our substituted small legal marriage. We cannot thank her enough for all her help in negotiations, too! We would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants a great experience regardless of whether you are a new or experienced buyer in the real estate market. Thank you!!!! - Chaelene Phaneuf & Kris Peeren
Amanda Tak and the Vantage West team made buying my first home easy and exciting! Amanda was always there to answer any questions and she took the time to follow up with a phone call to make sure we were on the same page throughout the process. From searching for a home that met my needs to completing the sale, I knew we were in good hands with Amanda and the Vantage team :) Thank you!
After our home was on the market for 16 months with other agents and no luck selling, we were referred to Evan Goode. Within a couple of days of listing with Vantage West, we finally had an accepted offer which led to a sale! Evan was professional, informative, and very helpful with the ins and outs of our first home sale. We highly recommend Vantage West to get the job done.
I can't say enough good things about Nick Hazzi and the entire Vantage West team. As a first time home buyer the entire process was a whole new experience for me. Though I had a complex purchase situation, they were there for me and made each and every detail of the purchase simple and straightforward. Nick was continually going above and beyond for me from the moment I started my search for the house to months after I got the keys. I recommend all of my family and friends to these guys for a reason, they've never let me down and I feel very comfortable and assured knowing I have them in my corner. If you're looking for anything in the real estate game there's no team you'd rather have behind you than these guys.
I was looking to purchase a condo for myself and my mother . Daniel of Vantage Realty responded to my google search. On arriving for our appointment, we were introduced to Krista. Krista was pleasant and professional in her presentation of the process, making us confident that we had made the right decision in our choice of realtor. Krista listened and was quick to understand our needs and expectations for our new home. Every showing was a pleasant experience. We never felt pressured or that we were wasting her time. She seemed as delighted as we were when our offer was accepted and transaction completed. Krista made us feel special and we appreciated and enjoyed doing business with her. Marilyn and Marian
These guys did a great job selling my place. From staging to getting it ready for showings. They did a great job communicating what was happening with the sales process. They sold our place inside a week for a bit less than asking. I’d recommend them to anyone looking to sell.
Nick Hazzi and his team helped me get a quick sale and a great price. Impressed with their service and professional attitude! A++
Fil S at Vantage is an outstanding realtor; knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional. Buying a property from out of town during a ‘hot’ market meant that we could not see our new home in person until we moved in. As such, we relied heavily on Fil’s opinions and recommendations, all of which were honest and accurate. He was pleasant to work with, always prepared, patient and professional and we highly recommend him to all. Based on our positive experience, several members of our family have worked with Fil for their home purchases as well. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, thank you Fil!
I am an investor who has worked with AJ and his staff for several years. Most recently I have had the pleasure to work with Cassandra Goodis. These are hectic and challenging times in the world of real estate. I'm not sure how she manages to always be professional, on time, impeccably groomed, polite, happy, energetic and in general such fun to be around. Cassandra works long hours to provide premium service to me and I'm sure to her other clients. Cassandra is extremely organized, it's tough to make deals stick these days with multiple offers. Cassandra juggles her schedule to ensure that I have had the best shot possible in securing properties. She has worked tirelessly showing me multiple properties, attending inspections, coordinating with my property manager, and referring me to trades. Cassandra has excellent communication skills, and exercises a calming effect in what can be stressful bidding wars. She is creative and thoughtful in strategizing deals that are agreeable to both the buyer and seller. This lovely young woman is a class act and on the rise. I highly recommend her. I am happy to provide a reference.
I had an excellent experience working with Amanda Tak. It started about a year ago when due to life happenings I was put into a position where I had to sell my beautiful home in the country and down size to a smaller more affordable home closer to town. I saw an ad for a small house and called about it, left a message and was called back by Amanda, turned out the house was not for me but I was asked by her if she could come out and meet me to see if she could assist me in finding another place. She did come out and the search began. For about the first six months we looked at a few potential places that would meet my criteria for want I wanted but was not able to put an offer in on any because my place was not selling with another realtor so I had to wait patiently. Finally my place was sold on Nov. 30 at which time the search intensified. Amanda got serious about finding me what I really wanted and when we did find one that I was interested in looking at she went to bat for me to get all my questions answered as quickly as possible. Once we were out looking at a couple showings and I asked to take a drive by a place. We parked in front of the place and she said to me " I can't go and knock on their door because I am a realtor and they are under contract and it's not allowed but you could go knock on the door and ask about it. I said no, that's okay, I don't want to do that so she put the car in park, folded her arms in front of her and said I'm not going anywhere until you go knock on the door. So I did and found out that the house had been bought so that took the place right off my mind so I could continue searching for others. Now, six months later after Amanda putting in countless hours of work trying to find the perfect place for me, I am now living in my new home and am extremely happy with it and how everything came together in the end. Once again I will say that Amanda went to bat for me many times through the whole transaction and got me the best deal possible.House searching with Amanda was always fun and we had many laughs, there was never a dull moment. I would highly recommend her to do any real estate transaction you may require.
For the past several months I had the pleasure of working with Amanda Tak at the agency. She was knowledgeable and very reliable. Vantage supported her by giving me tools to view listings as soon as they were available or updated. Although my situation with a purchase changed I would recommend her and Vantage and wouldn’t hesitate to enlist their advice and help in a heartbeat.
Vantage West is by far the most elite real estate company I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Their methods for hunting down what a client is looking for was more than I would ever have expected and the buying process could not have gone any smoother. I will be dealing with them for all my future buying and selling, and will recommend them to anybody that needs their expertise. Thank you for everything!!!
If you are looking for a knowledgeable, professional, kind, caring, fun, easy to deal with, not pushy or opinionated realtor then look no further. Calista of Vantage West Reality exemplifies all of the above. We dealt with Calista for our home buying journey and she made the entire experience fun and stress free. She made us feel valued and that our questions and concerns mattered. She went above and beyond and even after the purchase closed she was there for us to help in anyway she could. Calista is truly amazing and we feel she is an extremely valuable asset to her real estate team.
I cant say enough about Amanda Tak and what she has done for me. I have been looking for another rental property with great long term value. She was able to pull off some fantastic things to get me into a new condo in the downtown Kelowna area. A true sport with a great sense of humour, hardworking and she cares. Amanda is just a good person, flat out good people. All the best, Aaron J.
I would like to sincerely thank Amanda Tak and the team at Vantage for the service provided during my investment property search and purchase. The level of service was superior from start to finish. The quick replies, availability around the clock and problem solving skills are highly appreciated, but most of all your commitment to having my best interest at heart has set you apart. There is nothing Amanda could've done better. I look forward to continuing a relationship with Amanda and the whole team at Vantage.
Nick Hazzi was very easy to deal with and provided excellent customer service from start to finish. I told him what I wanted and how much I was comfortable spending, which is exactly what he found for me. The girls in the office where also very good at staying in contact and making sure everything was under control.
Kim was absolutely wonderful to work with in buying our first home. She is honest, has great communication, and went out of her way to be available to answer questions, arrange showings, and put out mini "fires". We had a very short period of time to make our purchase, and I attribute Kim's dedication to helping make this happen. She was also fun and kind, which make the whole process that much more enjoyable. We really appreciated how much she genuinely cares for her clients, and would absolutely recommend her to others looking to purchase!!
Good Afternoon Our name is Dan & Colleen and we would like to share a horrible story of having to try to find someone to help sell our home. After trying many friends and folks that all claiming they will sell your house all we got was inundated with false promises. They would never have open houses follow up on live leads after folks were leaving to make offers and then never returning. Cleaning the entire house every time someone called to see the home then never showed. Until Amanda Tak! this young exciting lady had to overcome all our negative feedback always being positive and never gave up. She did a Virtual tour of our home,went over sea's advertising and was relentless spending weekends & holidays put our needs before hers. Not only did Amanda sell our home she sold it for a lot more than anyone else would have even considered selling it for. She turn our nightmare into a dream come true single handed.Colleen & I are going in on Wednesday now to sign papers for a new lot we have just purchased from Amanda. Amanda Tak was asked by us if she would keep her eyes open for another lot for us to build. Again she was relentless in her effort, We couldn't be happier when she had found the perfect property, then bought it below market valve. Thanks Amanda your the best! Dan & Colleen

They are committed to giving you the best advice based on your own circumstances and they will guide you through all of your options. It’s imperative to work with an agent that can bring you solutions and help you make the most informed decisions using their market expertise. Give them a call today, you won’t regret it!
Working with Vantage West was amazing from start to finish. Can’t say enough good things about AJ and Cassandra! We came to Vantage looking for an investment property, and they made the process extremely simple and straightforward. We worked closely with Cassandra on a daily basis and the service she provided every step of the way was 2nd to none. From arranging showings on short notice, to providing in depth analysis on different properties/areas of town; we really couldn’t ask for a better realtor. Even after the purchase was done and completed, Cassandra worked with the sellers to arrange for us to show the property to prospective renters before we even took possession, so we could have it rented out for day 1. We would highly recommend AJ and Cassandra to anybody looking for an investment property. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks again! Ryan and Lindsay
Working with Kelsey was very good. We found what we wanted in two weeks. We give her 10 stars on all items. She is the best agent we have worked with. William and Tanya
We contacted vantage west to sell or home and they sent over Darcy Fiander & Amanda Tak we were impressed with their presentation and have gone way beyond in making our experience as least stressful as possible They have sold our home and helped us find our new home I would recommend both these agents if you want things to get done. They will go beyond your expectations to get things done and help make the experience as easy as can be.
I recently purchased my first home with the help of Nick Hazzi and Vantage West Realty. As this was the largest purchase I have ever made I was very picky when it came to choosing a realtor. Nick was prompt with info on listings and organizing showings, extremely knowledgeable when it came to information on the current market trends and detail oriented when it came to placing my offer. Needless to say I am overwhelming pleased with my decision to use Nick as a realtor!
Words that come to mind: Professional, attentive, resourceful, caring. Fil and the staff at Vantage West Realty were a pleasure to work with and infinitely patient with us through the whole process. We would be happy to refer them to friends and family and we look forward to using their services in the future. Mike and Robyn Neff
Completely satisfied with the service I received from vantage west and more specifically Simon Ward our realtor. As a first time home buyer there were a lot of unknowns for me that Simon helped me understand. Professional but also casual to help take the intimidation factor out of purchasing my first house. He went out of his way to help with things I wouldn’t have expected a realtor to help me with even after the deal was done. Lining up winterizing the pool at the new house and putting me in contact with a plumber he knew personally to install a hot water tank for me at a good price. This meant a lot to me as I work out of town and he took care of it while I was away. Nothing but a good experience, would defiantly recommend.
Nick Hazzi gets the highest recommendation I can give him. I told him I wanted a quick sale AND top dollar for my house. That’s a tall order for any realtor but Nick really delivered. He sold my fixer-upper in 10 days for $6K OVER our asking price. Well done Nick and the team with a special thank you to Heather. You guys are easily the best in the biz.
We worked with Vantage West, with Darcy specifically, and we couldn’t have been happier. Darcy knew exactly what we wanted, was patient and diligent and made sure we found the property that was perfect for us. Once we found the right one, he was there every step of the way and oversaw all the details. With us not living in the city where we invested, it not only gave us peace of mind that we had him advocating for us, but we couldn’t have done it without him. I couldn’t recommend a better team than Darcy and Vantage West.
Highly recommend Vantage West Realty Inc! A friend referred me to AJHazzi.com, and I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Elaine and her wonderful team in purchasing my first home. As a young professional and first-time buyer, my needs were understood and met by Elaine. Her team's level of care and diligence are tremendous; I could not be more elated with my experience. Thank you very much Elaine and Vantage West Reality!
When my husband and I decided to renovate our home to accommodate a family member we knew we needed some recommendations for a contractor. We were not sure if a realtor firm would help us, as we were not buying or selling a home. Luckily for us, Amanda Tak from Vantage West cared about us finding a solution that worked for our family. Through Amanda and the Vantage West team, we were referred to an amazing builder/contractor Bryan Heroux, who was a perfect fit for our renovation and did an outstanding job. It is fantastic to know that Amanda and her team were there to help us create the perfect living situation even if they didn't get a sale out of the deal. Thank you for being so community-oriented. When we do decide to sell, we will be using Vantage West!
Elaine Godeghesi at Vantage West was a complete pleasure to work with! She values her clients and always went the extra mile for us! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and detailed oriented and an expert negotiator. she always kept us informed throughout the entire process and took out all the stress of buying a property. We would not hesitate to recommend her. Very impressed with her high level of commitment and dedication to us!
My husband and I wanted to take advantage of the sellers market and sell our rental home in the Glenrosa area. We interviewed 4 other agents and were blown away with the presentation Fil and his team provided. The level of service promised in this presentation is exactly what we got. The exposure our home received through their marketing strategy created tremendous momentum. From the first walk through with Fil and his team, the advice on where to increase the value in our home with moderate effort and investment on our part helped us understand where to put our time and money. Educating us on the importance of staging the property for maximum appeal and dollar made us realize it was an important investment and his team delivered on this too. Fil coached us through the process, answering all our questions, guiding us through some of the unknowns in real estate transactions, making the process much easier for us. Fil always followed through in his promises, was professional, and on top of everything. Working with his team made this transaction so much easier and stress free! We highly recommend Fil and Vantage West for their services. - Tamie and Don Sanderson
When looking for an agent I was looking for someone who knew the city well, was business savvy & understood investment properties, professional, responsive, and would look out for our best interest. This is exactly what I found in Roxanne O’Keefe & then some. She was able to answer every question and concern that we had, and brought in other experts when we had questions such as connecting us with a property manager when we had complex concerns about a rental property. We have now purchased two properties with her and will use her for every future real estate transaction. I confidently recommend Roxanne @ Vantage West Realty
Amanda was an absolute joy to work with. She found me great properties to look at and found me a wonderful place to call home. She was also very helpful with processes involved with home buying. Very grateful :)
Nick worked diligently and professionally to help us find our Okanagan home. We moved from the lower mainland and he made the process as smooth as possible. He was very helpful and went the extra mile when we couldn’t be there in person to view a property. We would highly recommend him and the Vantage West team. Thanks Nick!
Filip Styrcharek is an amazing realtor. He answered all my questions and explained the selling process very clearly for me. Helped me understand what he could do to make the selling process easy and what I needed to do. He kept me calm and arranged for Heather Hazzi to contact me about staging. Heather is an amazing stager my condo looked beautiful when she was done. I highly recommend this agency and Filip to anyone wanting to sell or buy. Thanks again Fil.
Kim from Vantage West was amazing! As first time home buyers, she was extremely accommodating and excellent at answering the many questions we had and finding the many documents we were forever requesting. When we found different places we were interested in viewing, she did a great job of working around our very hectic schedule to squeeze us in the days and times we needed. We had a very pleasurable experience working with Kim and Vantage West Realty and would highly recommend them to everyone!
My journey to get my house was a long one. And although it was a year and a half in the making, Roxanne Okeefe was patient with me. She sent me a weekly update on houses, specific to my request. She didn't crowd me or push me to view properties that I did not show interest in. This was quite important to me and shouldn't be overlooked. It wasn't just about a sale. Then, in an inkling and with Roxanne's negotiating skills, we got my bid in to claim this house before several others could. I was quite pleased.
I had an excellent experience with Nick and his team. They helped me get into my first home. They were easy to deal with and very quick to answer questions with thorough responses, Making the whole process enjoyable and stress free. I would recommend using them for any of your realtor needs!
We recently sold our house in West Kelowna using Nick Hazzi at Vantage West. He recommended a selling price higher than we were expecting and the house sold in one day for over the asking price with no conditions and a great possession date. We needed help with window cleaning, roof work and assistance with loading our rental truck. Nick and Maggie provided us names to help us and they were all extemely helpful. We were also so impressed with all the pictures Sheldon took and Ross did a great job helping out with the marketing materials. We would absolutely recommend Nick and the Vantage team to help anyone with staging and selling their home. Nancy and Darcy Walls.
Amanda was beyond AMAZING! Knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. She wasn't afraid to go to bat for us and we are so happy with the end results. She was available to answer all our questions even outside of regular business hours. .10 out 10.
My spouse and I recently enlisted the services of Vantage West Realty to purchase our home, and were referred to Nick Hazzi by my cousin and his wife whom previously had a great experience with him. Nick provided a wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise when it came to buying our house. Nick was extremely patient with us, and was always responsive when we had any questions. We always felt we were in good hands as he went above and beyond to ensure we were buying a place we would be happy with. Once a deal was in place, Maggie @ Vantage West was of tremendous help in assisting us in the removal of subjects and closing of the deal, ensuring everything was in place and moving accordingly - this made for a smooth transition to close on the property and eliminated much of the stress. The services were top notch, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends/family. Thanks for all of the help.
The most professional team of realtors I've ever worked with. Nick helped me sell my home very quickly, and made it incredibly easy and effortless on my part. I would highly recommend Nick at Vantage West to anybody looking to buy or sell in the Okanagan. 5 star service.
Excellent service - you have a whole team working with & for you. They take care of all the details & deal with any issues that may come up, keeping you informed at all times. We would not hesitate to recommend Nick & Gayle!
Vantage West Realty Inc. made buying a house such a breeze my agent EG was professional reliable and helped me every step of the way. EG was always available to answer questions and available to show apartments and anytime that I asked for. I highly recommend them.
I would like to thank Amanda Tak and Vantage West Realty for providing great service in helping me find a property in the Okanagan Valley. Amanda was very professional, prompt with all responses, understood my requirements and preferred details in a property. Thanks to her the process was quick and easy and without any issues from start to closing. I highly recommend Amanda and Vantage West Realty and will certainly be using her services in the future.
I would recommend Fil Strycharek and the Vantage West Realty team to anybody looking to buy or sell a home in Kelowna area. Fil was a pleasure to deal with as he is responsive, professional and made the entire process of purchasing a home in Kelowna absolutely seamless. Fil will take the time to learn exactly what you are looking for - he found us the perfect home!
Nick really helped us out with his market knowledge and understanding of the communities he serves. He was able to get us on track and up to speed quickly as well as being very responsive. His feed back and insights have been quite valuable, and on top of it all he's a great person to deal with.
Simon Ward is the perfect example of an agent that goes the extra mile for his clients. His professional attitude and attention to all details involved in any transaction are to be commended. He and his team at Vantage have done an outstanding job for us and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell, whether it is your primary residence or investment property. Keep up the Good work Simon.
Nick Hazzi and the team at Vantage West were great to work with both in selling our former home and buying a new one. We chose Nick to sell our home on the recommendation of friends, and we weren't disappointed. He provided us with great advice and guidance, and got us a price that we were very happy with. When it came to finding our new home, Nick and his team worked with us every step of the way to ensure we found what we were looking for and that the process went smoothly. We would have no hesitation recommending Nick and Vantage West to anyone selling their home or looking for a new one.
Simon and Vantage West executed both our sale and our purchase successfully. Simon was determined to find us the perfect home to meet our growing family needs and in the end, we couldn't be happier. His shrewd negotiating skills made sure we got top dollar on our sale and the lowest price on our purchase. Highly recommended for anyone looking to sell or buy.
I was busy trying to find a place to call home for my growing family. It was not easy with a new born. Found myself on Vantage West Realty's website. I was sent an email to which I answered. Soon I was talking with Jack on the phone. He asked me some questions, and then said I have just the realtor here to work with you. She is a perfect match and will get you and your family in the home you required. My thoughts were, either this guy is really good or out of his mind. There is no way he can know for sure from what I just told him in less than half hour, what I really need and who would be best for me. Anyhow, he emailed me the realtor's name and informed me that she will touch base to set up an appointment. The very next day she called. An appointment was set and the rest was history. Of course, am taking about ROXANNE, "my family's perfect match". Yes hats off to you Jack, you are good at what you do! Roxanne is a cut above the rest! Very knowledgeable, very easy going, very friendly and professional. She literally hold our hands throughout the process. I did not have to do any digging to find any help need to buy the house. Mortgage brokers, insurance company, lawyer, inspector and the list continues. We were given option of the best of the best. All information given was relevant, just in time for the next step in the process of purchasing our home. My family and I are very happy and pleased with our purchase. We are over the moon with the services of Vantage West Realty. Roxanne, Jack and the team from Vantage West, thanks a million.
Ali Mazzei's professional and calm mannerism helped us find our dream condo and a move-in date prior to Christmas. She helped us navigate through our 'wish washy' wish list into what we really wanted - a beautiful condo downtown Kelowna. Her patience, guidance and humour was second to none. Ali put us in contact with other professionals specifically, D'Arcy, Mortgage Broker and Gregg, Lawyer - they and their amazing teams also helped us 'seal the deal' with our tight timeline. Thanks again Ali, I will definitely recommend you to others and look forward to you helping us with future deals.
We have been thinking about buying a vacation property in Kelowna for quite some time. We were not sure how this would be possible during COVID, but took a chance and met Amanda Tak in a Zoom call. We immediately knew she was the realtor we wanted to work with. Not only is she very personable and knowledgable, but she is also very professional. Amanda has a wealth of information to share and she gives her honest opinion on all the listings. She does not pressure (unlike other realtors) and gives you as much time as you need. She has a way of making you feel like you are her most important client and gives you all her attention. We feel very lucky to have met Amanda and have recommended her to many friends. I can't thank you enough for helping us find the perfect place, Amanda!
.I put my duplex on the market with Vantage West after my brother saw an ad on TV. I wasn't sure I was going to get very far as I had listed it three previous times with other realtors, and nothing had happened I would end up getting about one viewing each. But I gave it a go. Stephanie was wonderful, we communicated by phone and email as I no longer live in the area, As soon as it was listed we had interest. I had tenants who were not making it easy for viewings. But after 11 days on the market and 2 viewings I sold my property. I would like everyone to know if you want to sell put your property on the market with this company. They are fabulous. They keep you up to date on everything.
Fil and his team are amazing. Fil acts with enthusiasm, professionalism and compassion. He adapted promptly to the unique circumstances we faced in the spring of 2020 and offered valued advice. I appreciate all his efforts and would definately recommend him.
I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the work and more importantly patience you had with us. We knew whoever the lucky realtor was that got stuck with us would be put through their paces. I know we’re very particular so again I appreciate you working with us and having thick skin when we needed it. Anyhow I am the happiest guy going this is exactly what my family needed and only two weeks in and it feels like we’ve been up there for months in the best way ever!! I’m working on an outdoor rink with all that wood that was left behind, I’ll send you pix. Once again THANK YOU so much for all your hard work it was so appreciated and we will talk to you again in 5-10 years when we get bored of this place. ???? Have a great Xmas and all the best to you and your family in the New Year!! Mikee the “Farmer” Aussant
My journey with Stephanie Ostash began early February 2020 and I have to say it's been quite a ride...… Upon taking my call Stephanie presented herself very professionally and I was impressed by her knowledge of the area. I felt very at ease with her and confident that if someone could help me find a home, she was the one... Even though it had to be done remotely. Stephanie reassured me that it was doable and she would do her utmost to make my dream come true…..Basically I bought unseen. That how much trust I had in Stephanie. At one point I wanted to quit, I felt it was unrealistic of me to believe I could do this. But Stephane was persistent, she had no doubt that there was the perfect home, out there...… Stephanie just refused to sell me a home that she felt was not right for me... She was my eyes, my senses and deep down I knew that she had my best interest at heart. She was right.... I finally met Stephanie June 29th, upon taking possession of my new home.... What a moment it was to finally meet the person, that had made my dream a reality. Her smile that day, tall, elegant she was beautiful inside out...… One thing that Stephanie gave me back was this sense of trust, that it was okay to let someone help me. She made quite a difference in my life and I will forever be grateful...… Thank You Stephanie for being the beautiful angel that you are...… Jeannine Dagenais
Awesome experience will be doing business with them again for sure. Amanda was so professional from the get go, she took the time to meet our needs will definitely be recommending her to my clients.. Big up uself Amanda your the bestest...
Amazing experience!! Roxy OKeef was so kind and patient and listened to what we needed even when we wernt sure. Her work to find us the perfect home was above and beyond!
Thanks to Evan and the entire team for their professionalism and assistance in the recent sale of my property. I currently live abroad and they handled the listing, showing and eventual closing without me ever being present. Much appreciated!
I first listed my house with an agent with “old school techniques” that just wasn’t working!! When Nick and the vantage team was referred to me I was skeptical but the team pulled thru and sold my house. Nick and the team was very easy to work with and I highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell there property.
To say the least Vantage West Realty is the best realty firm in Kelowna. Filip was very nice to work with, went out of his way many times. The whole firm was top notch from the beginning to the end. I would strongly recommend VWR. At the very least you should meet with them prior to signing elsewhere. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Fillip and the rest of the TEAM.
I highly recommend Vantage West Realty! Elaine was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is professional and personable, readily available, and we always felt like her top priority. Thank you so much for all your time, Elaine. We love our new home, and we loved working with you!
We worked with Kim from Vantage West this summer and had an awesome experience! She made everything easy for us as we were coming from out of town. Definitely recommend :) thanks again Kim!!
My wife and I dealt I with Calista Anderson while looking for our condo on Lake Okanagan. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the specifics about condos and strata details as we have never dealt with either. Calista did a great job of getting us a perfect condo in an area we wanted for our future retirement. It was all done long distance as we are from Vancouver Island until we came up to look at it. Thank you Calista for a great experience
What a great team of professional realtors. Prompt expert advise and service. They were wonderful to deal with and they were there when we needed them. I definitely would recommend Vantage West Realty for your realty needs.
We dealt with Roxanne in our home search. She really listened to what we were looking for and found lots to show us. She is very friendly and professional and has a great sense of humour. Roxanne is just like family and she found us a real gem. If we were looking again we would for sure use her again.
Thankyou Amanda for supporting our daughter in such a professional way with the purchase of her first home. From our very first meeting we knew we were in great hands knowing that you were advocating in her best interests. She is now a happy home owner!
We found working with Vantage West effortless! We were purchasing a property in Kelowna and live in Greater Vancouver, so we assumed that doing this mostly remotely would be difficult, but we were pleasantly surprised. From our initial internet search to our welcome call and all the way through to completion the process straightforward. The process was well explained to us and we felt well informed at every stage. They did their due diligence throughout and this helped us feel confident and secure in our purchase. I would highly recommend Vantage West Realty!
We were very lucky to be referred to Amanda through a Vantage Realty property management agent. Amanda was the first realtor we interviewed and would never have considered anyone else.She is upbeat, passionate, motivated, professional and extremely dedicated. She was always available and had great input, getting us multiple offers in the first week which resulted in a super quick sale. Her expertise and advice got the job done! If you want the best experience in real estate you should seek out Amanda Tak, she is top of the line!
I am a first time home buyer, I wasn't sure exactly what to look for in a new place. Krista Marble from Vantage West Realty is a fantastic realtor, with her professionalism, extreme patience, and resourcefulness, she has managed to help me find my first place, as well as help me navigate what I always considered as uncharted waters , and by that I mean the legal process, paper work and all that is attached to the buying process. I highly and extremely recommend Krista Marble if you are looking for a realtor that will always have your interest as her first and only priority.
Amanda has been so great to our entire family! First she sold us our house, that we are now raising our two beautiful daughters in. After that she convinced my parents to move across the country. She worked non-stop for months to find their dream home. She has literally brought our family closer, and we cannot thank her enough for her tireless efforts to ensure every detail was looked after. Thank you Amanda!!
My wife and I were dealing with Calista and we would have to say that Calista exceeded all our expectations during the process. Without her Professionalism; hard work; knowledge and understanding of our needs and situation it would probably have been a painful process for us. In addition to everything else she was very flexible in accommodating us and helping us at all sorts of weird hours and on weekends to make sure we were up to date and comfortable with our current situation. Thank you Calista from the bottom of our hearts. Pete n' Karen.
My husband and I have completed 4 transactions with Nick and his team from Vantage West Realty. 3 purchases and 1 sale. We are continuously impressed with his factual real estate knowledge, attention to detail, drive, and negotiating power. Our purchases have all been smooth, without any problems, and Nicks assistants email me back within minutes of a question I may have. With the sale of our home, Nick was able to sell it in a few short weeks for pretty close to list price - and we couldn’t be happier. We would not hesitate to recommend Nick to any of our friends, family or colleagues because I know they would be treated the best. We will definitely be using Nick again for the purchase of more properties. Thanks, Colin and Michelle Underwood
It’s my pleasure to write this review for Amanda Tak and it’s my second opportunity within the past few months to do so as Amanda sold my house last year and did an amazing job right from our first meeting to the closing with an excellent marketing strategy, the showings, constant communication with updates throughout the process, the negotiations, and the accepted offer. After leaving Kelowna for a short period of time I decided to move back so there was no hesitation on my part of who I was going to call to help me to get back to Kelowna and into a new home. However, I struggled a lot to decide which property I wanted with either purchasing another house or a condo. Amanda spent time with me to go over all the benefits of each and got me pointed in the right direction, which was large condo downtown that I’m extremely happy with. Amanda is very professional and also very enjoyable to work with. She takes the time to make sure her client’s needs and wants are completely satisfied. Amanda will also go that extra mile to make sure everything is as perfect as possible and help you in any which way she can. I highly recommend that you call Amanda to help you with your next home purchase or sale as not only you will be getting one of the best in the industry you will be getting a true friend.
I am an older professional gal, and buying a house and moving from Vancouver Island to West Kelowna is not an easy task. Throw COVID into the mix and having to do it remotely? Well, then it’s a Herculean effort. But I got very lucky! My realtor, Amanda Tak, was amazing. She kept me constantly updated on new listings and was more than ready and willing to attend showings and link me in via Zoom over and over. Her expertise and knowledge of the local real estate market was invaluable to me, not to mention pointing out positives and/or flaws in properties that I wouldn’t have been able to see or notice. She works with an amazing team at Vantage West and I had the pleasure of also working with Roxanne and all the support personnel behind the scenes. They were with me every step of the way. Roxanne also made herself totally available when I needed to follow up with purchasing a property and honestly, they were both such a delight to work with and made buying my home such a happy and positive experience. I am now the owner of a beautiful house in my preferred area, and Amanda negotiated with the sellers a wonderful and fair deal for me with a quick closing. I highly recommend Amanda and Roxanne - they have my heartfelt thanks!
Being a first time home buyer can be so overwhelming. Darcy F. is down to earth, professional and honest. He walked us through this crazy process and we couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Darcy! You and your team are simply remarkable!
Working with Roxanne to buy our first home seemed like no work at all! She answered all of our (stupid) questions day, night, or weekend, and always made sure to listen to our concerns. Searching for a home to suit our specific needs was a challenge she certainly didn’t shy away from, and we never felt rushed or pushed to accept less than we were looking for. Her personality (sense of humour) really shined when going through some of the uh “rougher” houses, but she was all business when the situation called for it and gave some great advice and recommendations when it came time to make an offer. It was a pleasure dealing with someone close to our own age, with whom we could relate. Roxanne is now first on the invite list for summer bbqs!
This was my first dealing with Amanda, she was patient in answering my questions. This was a difficult deal and Amanda went overboard and worked late evenings to make this a success. She is honest, hardworking and caring. Thanks Amanda
For our first time investment property, Stephanie held our hands the entire way. Her vast knowledge and expertise allowed us to be confident in this purchase even through the uncertain times of COVID.
My wife and I have used vantage west to both sell and buy properties. My experience has been well above our expectations and the level of professionalism is second to none! I have been in real estate for over 30 years and would recommend this company to anyone who asks. A+ , nothing less from vantage. Robert Jabs
Nick Hazzi and the entire Vantage West Team are Amazing! They’ve sold two homes for me this year and both sales were exciting experiences. From listing to completion Nick, Maggie and the Vantage West Team kept the process simple and efficient. Vantage West is a team of highly qualified, dedicated and passionate real estate professionals. I highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling.
We had a time limit to be able to sell our condo and Amanda Tak was amazing, she knew her market and was very eager to help us sell in a short period of time, she possessed the knowledge and confidence to make our dreams a reality!!! This young lady really knows her job and exudes the confidence to achieve the results, I would use Vantage West Realty again if I required their services hands down.
Hey AJ, You asked for some brutally honest feedback. For starters I don’t have any negative comments for you and your team at Vantage West Realty. I honestly believe everyone of you put in 110% to make my sale happen as quickly and smoothly as possible. I think we are on the same page as to contributing factors of a slightly lower than expected selling price and lengthy time to sell. These factors being a lengthy repair at the beginning caused by a leak in the neighbouring unit.THEN COVID. Also the facts I had a tenant in the unit and it could have shown a little better. None of these factors are due to you and your team. Thanks for being honest and upfront with me. Thanks also to Cassandra, Trevor, and the rest of the team at the office I dealt with. They were always a pleasure to talk to. Looking forward to doing more business with such an outstanding team in the future. Thanks Gordon Jeck
Really helpful, well-organized team. Communication was great and messages were returned quickly. I always felt like the team was "there for me"
We really appreciated Krista Marble helping us through the process of purchasing our home especially with us being from out of town. We were able to complete the signing of all documents electronically. Right from the start we were very comfortable with Krista and were impressed with her willingness to do those extra things to make this a positive experience. We would certainly recommend her to our friends!
I met Nick, and his team in 2013. I was looking to buy a couple rental properties in Kelowna. Working with Nick was an amazing experience, and his expertise in the BC market helped me make the right decisions during my search. The entire team was extremely helpful, and had all their "ducks in a row" during the sales cycle. I am still waiting for a Vantage Reality to open in Edmonton.... Thank you, Nick, and the entire VW team. Cheers.
Thank you Simon for looking after the sale of our lake condo. With the expertise of Simon , the viewings , offers, the counter offers, the negotiating was a flawless and , (at least at our end,) stress free. A great communicator and got us top dollar for the sale. Thank you for your expertise in seeing us through the entire transaction. Looking forward to working with you again .
We are first time home buyers who were looking to relocate to Kelowna. Amanda was amazing to help us with find a place to suit our needs- she was upbeat, warm, attentive, and easy to get a hold of. She was patient with us as we had a lot of questions. She visited potential homes for us, making the out of town buying process easier! Amanda's personable and high level of service that was really appreciated and made buying our first home easier than we thought. We enjoyed working with Amanda and would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you so much, Amanda!
Our experience with Fil and his team was exceptional! The thought of selling our nostalgic property, combined with the uncertainty of the pandemic, along with our busy, hectic, and stressful lives, was nothing less than daunting! However, Fil and his team took care of everything for us from start to finish. His market knowledge, and structured, organized approach, got our property sold in a stress free and timely manner. I definitely recommend Fil for your real estate needs!
We worked with Amanda Tak through the summer to purchase our first home as we re-located from Vancouver to Kelowna. Amanda was an expert guide throughout and lovely to work with. Over three days she tirelessly showed us round houses and was patient as we changed our minds on exactly what we were looking for at least once. We found a great house and Amanda handled the negotiations really well. We took her recommendations for mortgage advisor, home insurer, home inspector and lawyer - all of whom proved to be top notch and everything was organised seamlessly by Amanda and her colleague Shelley. We'd pick Amanda as our Realtor again without hesitation and highly recommend her and her team.
My experience in selling my home and purchasing a new one with realtor Roxanne O’Keefe was really great! She listened to and always considered my input, and answered the many questions I had in a reasonable period of time, often immediately. She was always efficient and detail oriented. When multiple people became interested in both my sale and purchase of my new home at the same time, she offered her good advice on the process and provided valuable recommendations based on her knowledge and past experience. Roxanne has been in contact with me at all of the key times throughout the closing process which is super important. I’m very happy with my experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Roxanne to others in the future. Everyone from Vantage West Realty I met either in person or via phone, email or text seemed very attentive and keen to provide the best quality of service. Your company has thought out the process very well and offers those important “little extras” that provides a personalized experience.
Our listing with Darcy and Vantage West was conducted very professionally, and the entire experience went well beyond our expectations. Unfortunately, our past our efforts to work with Realtors has not been good. It seems as though these realtors didn’t feel any obligation to carry through on the many promises made prior to our signing the listing agreement. We rarely received any updates, and we’ve even had a realtor that didn’t show up for their own Open House. Darcy and the Vantage West team have renewed our faith in Realtors offering a professional service and following through on what they’ve promised. The entire experience, from signing the listing agreement, to the closing documents, was managed with the upmost professionalism. I would strongly recommend Darcy and his team to anyone looking to sell their home. Actually… I have recommended him, and I understand he’s already sold my sister-in-law’s place as well :-)
Jared has sold two homes for myself and my husband and we found him to be very knowledgeable and professional and down-to-earth. He also taught us a lot about the process of selling a house and we found him to be good at communicating. He was quick to get back to us regarding any questions or concerns and we felt very involved in the process. We had no doubts that our home would be sold quickly and for a good price every time. Vintage West is lucky to have such an engaged employee.
I really appreciate all the help along the way with the whole team it made the experience very approachable. Especially with the help of Simon Ward. His understanding and respectfulness is number one. I couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you.
We contacted Vantage West to help us find a house. Darcy was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, he took us around, gave us insight into neighborhoods. We looked at quite a few properties before finding the one that spoke to both of us, and we never felt pressure to settle. In the end, we could not be happier with our new home. Darcy helped us find the right professionals to get the inspection, etc. We really felt supported through the whole process. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Darcy and his team at Vantage West Realty.
It was a pleasure working with Roxanne. She was a great source of information as we went through the process of purchasing a home. Always ready and willing to talk real estate, brainstorm ideas for renovations, or show 5 homes back to back. We really appreciated her help / responsiveness and would highly recommend to anyone searching for a great real estate agent.
The experience through Vantage West was beyond my expectations. Darcy Fiander was very kind, compassionate, professional and knowledgeable from start to finish. If he was unsure of something, he would look into it and get back to us quickly. He never tried to push any sales and gave his honest opinion when asked. We had a great experience and were fortunate enough to share it with Darcy!
I used Nick when I originally purchased this home in 2014. He was a good realtor back then and it was a good experience buying the home but it seemed pretty typical service that a realtor would provide. Fast forward to selling my home this year. Wow, Nick and the Vantage West team have come a long way. They know their market, they have a very dynamic team and they got me an amazing result. They were very respectful of my time and efficient with our interactions. I will definitely use them the next time I am buying or selling a house in this area.
Finding a home can be very exciting. Finding a home thousands of miles away can be both exciting and daunting at the same time! We were fortunate to have Vantage West referred to us through a friend. We met Nick Hazzi and explained what we thought we were looking for in a forever home. Nick listened and began to show us properties that met our criteria. Still, we couldn't commit; there was always something that held us back. Being out of province, we were not always available to view properties at the drop of a hat. This did not deter Nick from continuously trying to find the right fit for us. He kept his ear to the ground and was able to use technology to communicate recent listings. The biggest plus for us was that Nick thought outside the box when it came to buying our dream home. This is when you realize that you have to rely on a trusted, experienced realtor to not only represent you in the process, but to open your eyes to all possibilities! After a quick phone call and a video of the listing, we were on a plane back to Kelowna to view and purchase a lot upon which to build our dream home. Vantage West is a realty group that epitomizes professionalism and forward thinking. From the friendly reception upon entering the office, to the trusted realtor who confidently and skillfully negotiates on your behalf , to the efficient legal office that is at the service of the client; we couldn't have asked for a better, more relaxed and honest experience. Nick continues to be in touch and at our service; even after the sale closed on the property. We cannot thank Vantage West enough for assisting us in finding us our dream location and we would highly recommend this group for any professional service. Terri and Tom Robertson
Stephanie Ostash is an amazing realtor, she is very efficient with every step of selling and buying. Stephanie is great with communications. She is your go to if you are looking for a great realtor. Thanks Steph for everything.
We had a rather challenging property to sell (very steep driveway!) in Peachland. A retired real estate agent we had dealt with in the past suggested we try Vantage West - we were not disappointed! The marketing strategy was very thorough and explained in detail along with research into comparable properties prior to establishing a price. Throughout the rather lengthy process, the team of Agent Darcy and his members, Nadean and Maggie communicated to us in a courteous and effective manner. We would have no hesitation in recommending Vantage West for your real estate need. Tony Chadwick
My husband and I just sold our house through Vantage West Realty. My husband says they are the cat's ass! Our house was previously listed with another real estate company for a year and did not sell. We then chose Vantage West as we were impressed with their emphasis on marketing/promoting a property and their team approach to selling real estate. We signed up with Jared Franczak and participated in the guaranteed sale program. Before we signed up with the guaranteed sale program we asked how many houses got purchased and he said only one. (we figured ours would be number 2) This was not the case! Jared was dedicated, hardworking, professional to deal with and went right to work. He found out the reasons why our house had difficulty selling in the past and adjusted his sales approach accordingly. The Vantage West team worked very hard on it and within three weeks of listing the house was sold for a fair price. That's what we call a great real estate company! We would definitely recommend anyone wanting to sell their house quickly to call these people. We have no hesitation in using them again when we sell our next house. To sum it up nicely - if you want the job done properly call Jared!
After working with Stephanie to sell an investment property of ours it was immediately evident that we will be working with her again. She was incredibly efficient, thorough, and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend Vantage West!!
Buying a home is a stressful experience, but with Vantage West, the team of professionals go above and beyond and truly make it a seamless process. I had the pleasure of having Maggie, Nick and Mike look after me and it made all the difference. They are true professionals and I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. The team at Vantage is one of a kind.
TJ and the Vantage Team were amazing to say the least. Even though I was looking for a price point home, TJ never skiped a beat. He was knowledgeable, on time, friendly, thought outside the box and was there every step of the way. I didn't just walk away with a home, I walked away with a friend.
“Highly recommended by a colleague, Elaine is a true class act! We were looking for a real estate agent who was genuinely client oriented rather than sales driven, someone who was dialed into the Okanagan real estate market and someone who would get to know us so they could help us find the perfect home. This rock star does not disappoint; she is a professional with integrity who is connected, organized and patient to say the very least. So happy we have Elaine Godeghesi in our court.” Meghan and René
Roxanne O'Keefe is the most professional, knowledgeable, caring and helpful realtor we could have ever asked for. She made sure that we have found ourselves the most suitable house which would become our home, and she has become our good friend in the process. She has an amazing personality and has been very patient with our needs and millions of questions as the first time home buyers. She has been with us throughout the entire time and always knew exactly what we wanted and would go out and beyond to help us. Even on her time off she would be very responsive and work tirelessly to find the right home for us. Thank you so much Roxanne! We will always be thankful, and if we are buying or selling a home in the future we will be definitely coming back to you!
I was very impressed with Stephanie's knowledge of the Kelowna area market, and with the process that Vantage West uses for their buyer clients. Stephanie took me on several market education outings, where we went to see suites that were for sale (even though they were not quite what I was looking for) so I could see what the buildings and atmosphere were like. After that I felt much more clarity and confidence with regards to everything that was available in my price range, and shortly after I found exactly what I was looking for. Stephanie was very attentive to my needs throughout the entire buying process, and she provided all the information I needed to make an informed decision on my purchase. Buying a condo can be a stressful experience, but she made it all seem easy! Stephanie and the team at Vantage West provided a top notch, stress-free experience for me and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a realtor in the Kelowna area who truly goes the extra mile. Thanks Stephanie!
Stephanie Ostash is our real estate agent, and without a doubt one of the best agents in Kelowna with her vibrant personality. Her level of professionalism and expertise is far superior then your “average” real estate agent. Stephanie is definitely an ambitious agent, deals face to face with clients for both buyers and sellers to more then satisfy both parties. Stephanie is not afraid to work around the clock to get an offer accepted that more then pleases both parties. Upon meeting Stephanie, you soon realize that she not only loves her career that she built up herself at only 19 years old, but generally cares about her clients. For Stephanie, it’s not just a business deal/transaction, it’s a long standing relationship. Stephanie keeps you informed on every single process and that you are in full understanding on what’s going on, and what is to come. Stephanie is unlike any other realtor we met, she will move at whatever pace you feel most comfortable at, without pushing you to make a decision you are unsure about; because she will make sure you are 100% aware of the pros and cons of each decision you make, but most definitely stays in her lane. Once you make your decision to purchase or sell, get ready because Stephanie will have that offer accepted, in our case; just hours later. Stephanie has passion for real estate investments, with a substantial profile of her own. Stephanie talks the talk, and walks the walk with high confidence. If you are looking into expanding your real estate portfolio, Stephanie is the agent for you. She takes the time to analyze the market, and target properties that can have the best passive income abilities to set you up with a running start.
I will be eternally grateful for Amanda Tak's help in my recent home purchase. I found myself in an extreme time crunch to find a new home in the insanely hot real estate market in Kelowna. She jumped in and made time for me right away, when I am sure many others wouldn't have. Amanda is knowledgeable about local sales and the current market conditions. She set up showings in my desired locations and within my budget in the first couple of days of meeting her. She was very flexible and adaptable which is wonderful in stressful times. Amanda helped us through the process right till the end, it wasn't an easy transaction but she helped us through each bump in the road. Amanda and her team helped my son and I get into our forever home and we could not be happier! Thank you Amanda !
What can I say about Steph Ostash that hasn’t already been said?! She is lovely, bright, professional, results driven ~ I could go on and on! We will absolutely be using her for our next real estate adventure. Highly recommend this woman, she is a powerhouse!!!!!!
Nick was very professional from our first meeting on. The Vantage team were extremely supportive throughout the process of selling our home and Nick's knowledge of the local market was a big confidence boost to my wife and myself. The team did a great job in the photo/video shoot that showcased the home for listing. Top notch.
Amanda did a great job on several transactions for my company. All parties involved came away very happy with the deals. I think this is a great choice for your next real estate purchase or sale
This was my second time working with Amanda and again she went above and beyond to get me the condo I wanted. I wouldn’t work with anyone else she will always get the job done! Nothing but good things to say about her and I can’t wait until we work together again she is amazing!
I can't even put into words how incredible Nick and Maggie were throughout the whole process. Our property sale was a bit of an enomoly in that our tenants left it in HORRIBLE condition, we needed extensive repairs, our hot water tank blew and we had to move out of country for my husband to accept a medical position abroad... All during COVID. Maggie and the team at Vantage are seriously miracle workers. They helped on EVERY front from providing reputable industry professionals to do amazing work on the home to looking over the property while we were away. In the end our home was beautiful and ended up selling 10% above asking!!!! Nick and Maggie are so so much more than RealEstate agents. I am still absolutely blown away with how incredible they were throughout the entire process! So much love for you guys, THANK YOU!!!
My husband and I have only good things to say about working with Elaine! We had unsuccessfully worked with two other Kelowna realtors for several months before reaching out to Vantage West and meeting Elaine, and our experience was truly night and day. She made us feel taken care of every step of the way, and it is because of her that we had success in purchasing our house as quickly as we did. Highly recommend!
Ali is amazing....always professional, knowledgeable, honest, fun, organized, reliable, and thoughtful! Ali was flexible when we changed our initial plans, and was very helpful and supportive throughout the entire process! - The Larson Family
I was so impressed with the service I received from Vantage West Realty. They contacted me listen to my needs set me up with an exceptional realtor Elaine, she is absolutely wonderful. She listen to what I wanted got right to work on it. Found exactly what I was looking for and closed deal all within the week. Couldn’t be happier! so impressed! best service ever! highly recommend! Thanks again Elaine you’re the best!!! Rosa Amante :)
The Vantage West team is outstanding! Everyone looks out for you and they all work together to get the best possible outcome. Nick and Maggie were our rockstars on the most recent sale of our house, and they made the whole experience a breeze. Reliable, informative, and compassionate through and through. We are lucky to be represented by such stellar pros. I can’t say enough good things about them! We will continue to trust them to do anything real estate related for all of our future endeavours.
We had the pleasure of working with Amanda Tak for selling, and buying our home. She is very friendly, a hard worker and easy to work with. Although there were some bumps in the road, Amanda did everything to make sure we were happy in the end. We couldn't be more exicted about our new house, and can't wait to make new memories here with our family and friends.
We had put our home on the market previously through a different company, and were so turned off that we were hesitant to even list again. We called Stephanie, and were immediately put at ease. She came to the house and did a fair and honest proposal. Between her, Nick, and the entire team at Vantage West, they absolutely exceeded our expectations. Throughout the entire process, their communication with us was excellent, and always kept us in the loop. We always felt Vantage West was doing everything they could to sell our home and we weren't just 'another client'. I would refer anyone to Stephanie, as I know they will receive the same great service we did. Thank you very much to the whole team at Vantage West.
I can not begin to tell you how wonderful dealing with Simon was, if I could give him 10 stars I would. Purchasing a home is a big thing, then add in being a first time purchaser and not knowing what to really expect, that takes a special person and Simon nailed it! Simon outlined what to expect from him and guided us to making this happen. If you are looking for someone that provides top notch professional service Simon is your guy...Thanks for everything Simon!!
Amanda Tak - Realtor I have worked with several Realtors in Vancouver over the last twenty years and found Amanda to be one of the best in terms of "taking care" of her client's interest. She supported us in a "remote" transaction by responding quickly to update requests. Once our offer was accepted her Team assisted us throughout the purchase process by following up with our Notary Firm and making sure key action steps were executed on schedule. All in all a seamless experience. Thanks Amanda!
Elaine was fantastic. She was totally on it, got me all of the information that I needed and provided good advice without being pushy. I would highly recommend using her.
We have always had a great experience with Vantage West, more specifically with our Agent Amanda Tak. Professional, prompt and easy to deal with!
Elaine Godeghesi was very helpful in finding/showing properties. Listened to our wants and needs. It helped us find the perfect condo for us. I would recommend her to all my friends - Jim Stonehouse
I highly recommend Fil Strycharek for all your real estate needs. I found him to professional, personable and hardworking to sell our home recently during the pandemic. He and the team members were knowledgable, they all maintained great communication throughout the entire process.They have a great photographer who did a great job to market our home. Great agent and team from Advantage West Realty Kelowna.
From the moment we met with Fil, we knew we wanted him to help sell our home. He was honest, kind, and had a great sense of humour! He answered the many questions we had, and helped set our minds at ease. Fil and his teammate Amanda went above and beyond and had our home sold before it even went on the market. They are the real deal, and we will recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. We look forward to working with them again in the future.
We are not from Kelowna but were given Darcy's name as a recommendation from a friend and we couldn't be happier. Darcy was so helpful, made lots of time for us on short notice and we ended up purchasing our investment condo right away. He made the process so easy and had was very informative about the Kelowna rental market which we really appreciated. Kristen was also great to deal with the whole process was hassle free and they are just great people to work with. We will definitely contact Darcy for our next real estate purchase!
They Have very excellent customer service I was very very impressed.
Nick has been the perfect person to help my husband and I find a home in Kelowna. His knowledge of Kelowna has been exceptionally helpful to us. We have been able to narrow down the area that suits us best. He has gone out of is way to arrange showings and quick to answer our questions. I would 100% recommend Nick to help you find your perfect home!
My wife and I just moved up to Kelowna and had Darcy at Vantage West recommended to us from our realtor we used to buy/sell in the city. It was a tough act to follow, but he did a great job. He made sure we knew everything about the areas we were looking in, showed us a few different neighborhood possibilities that we strongly considered, and then ended up helping us find the right house at a great price.
Jared Franczak helped us through the challenges of purchasing our first investment property. Offering insightful and practical advice, he helped us gather the information we needed to feel comfortable with our eventual purchase. We always felt that Jared was looking out for us, particularly when working through a negotiation with a (very challenging) out of town seller. Jared's patience and professionalism throughout this whole process were amazing - especially when dealing with cross-timezone contract wrangling. Even after closing Jared has remained supportive and available, we consider him "part of our team" and would not hesitate in recommending him.
From my earliest contact well over a year ago. The people at Vantage West Realty have done an amazing job. Clear communications and no pressure from Krissy Lee who in turn organised our virtual call and introduction to Roxanne O'Keefe (our agent) we want to thank you both. Roxanne thank you so much for assisting us with all the viewings, searching and finally the details of our purchase. Our search and then our purchase (with the recent events in the world) were done almost completely virtual. Everything we did from the viewing of our new home (in Enderby, BC) to the home inspection and then the documents was all done remotely from our old home in White Rock, BC. Roxanne we thank you so much, Greeting us at our new home with the home coming gift, was the perfect touch. You made us feel so special. We highly recommend Vantage West Realty Inc. Kelowna
Thank-you for helping us find our dream home! Being first time home buyers, and house shopping from out of town, it was really great working with AJ and his team at Vantage. AJ Hazzi is a master negotiator and we feel like we got an amazing deal because of him. After we closed, they made the whole moving process very easy on us. All the referrals and checklists were really helpful. Used many of the referrals, and everyone we worked with has been just as great. Solid team all around, would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends and family once we convince them to move to Kelowna too. ???? - Allan & Ivy
It was amazing working with Fil and the team at Vantage West. Extremely professional, very knowledgeable and very thorough. We were able to secure a house that we love despite some unique challenges. Fil is such a genuine and capable guy. I will definitely be calling him on my next real estate venture. I highly recommend Fillip and Vantage West Realty. Great working with you guys!
Roxanne and vantage west were a great choice for us and finding our new home. We are first time home buyers and Roxanne was so patient and helped us every step of the way. She made the process very smooth and found us a great townhouse! Thanks again Roxanne!
Elaine Godeghesi helped me purchase my first home/investment property. Elaine was genuinely passionate about helping me find the kind of property that I was looking for and helped me to keep my eyes on my real estate goals. She was warm, engaging, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and went above and beyond what I could have asked for. She was also flexible and understanding of my work schedule and never once made me feel like she was just trying to sell me something. I can't imagine using any other real estate agent other than Elaine and I look forward to working with her again in the future. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home. She made the whole process such an enjoyable and largely stress free experience.
My boyfriend and I had an excellent experience working with Nick Hazzi. Nick has made the whole process exciting and stress-free for us. He is dedicated, professional and informative with answering all my questions. I could not recommend a more educated and genuine person to help you with a life changing investment like home ownership! Thank you Nick.
We had the pleasure of working with Darcy Fiander who was extremely professional, knowledgeable and attentive. He went above and beyond several times to advocate for us. We searched and purchased a house completely remotely (from a different province) and he provided us with peace of mind that we receive all the information and services as if we were presently in Kelowna. He actively represented us throughout the whole process and highly recommend his services!
This is been wonderful experience working with Elaine. She has been very cooperative and helpful in every stage of the the selling and buying my properties. Great work.
We Recently had the Pleasure of working with Roxanne O’Keefe, we found Roxanne to be very knowledgeable and her communication with us was extremely excellent, throughout the whole process. She kept us up to date on new listings and provided us with the tools to make an acceptable offer and secure our new home, we would defiantly use and recommend Roxanne again
Amanda Tak is my go to girl for real state. Four times now buying and selling. Most of the deals Were not easy, but I knew Amanda could and would get it done. I don't have worry when Amanda is on the job.
We had a great experience working with Darcy. He always willing to go the extra mile, and as a first time home buyer he educated us which helped us feel comfortable with our purchase.. He was very patient with me in regards to my complicated schedule. He provided us with a network of other professionals which helped make the process easier. In saying all that we would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy a house.
Haven't bought from them, dunno how good they are at realtoring. But I've received two calls while at work in the last week because I browsed their listings earlier this year and I'm not a fan of that.
Simon Ward was so delightful to deal with. He was very professional, knowledgeable and so responsive. It was my son's first property purchase and Simon made it a very positive experience.
As a first time home buyer, there is a ton of excitement, but it also comes with a lot of nerves! Nick always kept our minds at ease and took care of our worries. He went above and beyond in educating us on the market, and our inboxes were always filling up with new potential properties. We are very appreciative of what Nick has done for us in purchasing our first home!
I can’t thank the whole Vantage West team enough for theIr great service! A big thank to Stephanie Ostash for all her hard work and dedication. She truly is a beautiful woman inside and out.
We live in Northern BC and became interested in lake front real estate in the Okanagan. Friends of ours recommended Amanda Tak as they had recently bought a property on the lake through Amanda and were really impressed with how hard she worked for them. We reached out to Amanda and she gave us an excellent overview of the market and, thru discussions with her, helped us narrow down what we were looking for. She then began sending us postings that fit what we were looking for and had regular communications with us regarding our thoughts on various properties. When a property struck our interest she was quick to find out additional information, and as we were a 10 hour drive away, she would check out the property for us if she was not familiar with it already. We were in the Okanagan visiting family and Amanda made the time to meet with us in person and get to know us better. She continued to keep us informed as new listings came up. When a particularly interesting property in Vernon came up she immediately arranged a walkthrough with us on FaceTime so we could see the house and property. Working with her team we put in a successful offer on the property and began working thru the due diligence. This particular house was relatively old and there were many obstacles to work through. We felt that Amanda always kept our best interest in mind throughout this process. She had a fantastic network of contacts (contractors, home inspector, property managers, etc) that were available on short notice to help us navigate the obstacles that presented themselves, and she was very good at contacting other realtors, city officials, and government officials to ensure that we got the information we needed and the answers to any questions that we had. She was always available when we needed her and we definitely felt that she, and her team, worked very hard for us. Amanda continued to work for us even after we got possession of the property and completed the final walkthrough of the property with the former owner and got the keys on our behalf. I'm sure the fact that we were doing all of this from a distance made Amanda's job more difficult, although she certainly never made us feel that way, and she willingly found ways to make this work. We found Amanda to be very easy to work with, fun, friendly, knowledgeable, passionate about her role, hard working, with a high degree of integrity. We were extremely pleased with our experience buying a home thru her and would not hesitate to recommend her to any prospective clients.
Ali was a fantastic realtor and really helped us find the home we were looking for. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and she offered great advice to us as first time purchasers in the area. We'd highly recommend using her to anyone searching for their dream home!
I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that if you have ever struggled with Real Estate Agents in the past, Elaine is the breath of fresh air you are looking for. She is amazingly informative, professional, prompt, and all around fun to be around. She turned our trips of going to view places into awesome little adventures, while also reminding me of the correct perspectives one needs to have during this process. I would recommend Elaine to anyone looking to get into the housing market in Kelowna, she never stops fighting until you are truly happy. The sense of comfort you get while working with Elaine doesn't stop once you finished purchasing your new home, it is ongoing with her massive network of connections. Whether it be looking to buy appliances, planning renovations, all of Elaine's connections were just a breeze to work with. Thanks so much for everything Elaine, you've impacted my life so much more than you know and I'm sure you will continue to do the same for others.
Krista Marble of Vantage West made our property purchase hassle free and stress free. Krista arranged all the viewings that we wanted to see and as newcomers to the city, provided excellent insight into the pros and cons of each neighbourhood according to our needs and wants. Krista kept her ear to the ground and kept us informed about great opportunities in a fast paced market.
I have bought and sold a number of homes in my lifetime and I have never dealt with a better, more professional, kind, caring person than Nick Hazzi. He and his whole team are above and beyond any other people I have ever dealt with. I strongly recommend them for all of your real estate needs. I am personally very glad to have met Nick and further to have bought and sold my house with him. He made things easy and took the stress out of the process. Please use Nick.
I am beyond happy, and so grateful to of had Amanda Tak as my realtor. My sister and I were first time home buyers, and she was such a helping hand every step of the way. It was amazing what a weight was taken off, knowing that Amanda was their to guide us. She always gave her honest opinions about showings, and never failed to give us the absolute most information about all the properties we saw with her. My sister and I were in a time crunch to buy a place, and Amanda made sure everything happened within our time frame, and was always on top of things. To top it off, Amanda is such a friendly person, who very obviously has a passion for what she does. I cannot express how thankful I am to have gotten such an amazing person to work with, and am truly grateful for all the knowledge and help she provided. I highly recommend Amanda !
In a market that is completely unknown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. My wife and I were unsure whether we wanted to enter the market. After meeting with Fil, we were convinced that we not only wanted to sell our property, but we wanted Fil and his team to lead us in this unknown territory. After 74 days on the market, we had an accepted offer for 96% of our asking price. Fil and his team assisted us with every aspect of the sale and the purchase of our next property. We recommend Fil and the Vantage team to anyone and everyone we know that may be selling or purchasing a home in the future. Thank you Fil and the Vantage team!
Amanda was a pleasure to work with! As a first time home buyer she helped navigate through the purchase of the property with ease. The best thing was that she really listened about the type of home I was looking for and made the right selection that much easier. I would highly recommend Amanda to anybody looking to buy a house that do not have a great understanding of the process. Thanks for everything and finding me a beautiful home!
Roxanne was very informative and always will to help with all our need. She always went the extra mile to make sure everything went well. If you need a real estate agent give her a call you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you so much! Darcy Fiander is absolutely wonderful to work with. He is professional, honest, informative and really helped us every step of the way in buying our first home. He took the time to show us countless places until we found the perfect one and I’m so happy we got to work with him. I would highly recommend.
I would like to thanks Roxanne for the purchase of our new house. It was incredible experience with her through out. She is very professional and genuine with her clients. She always gave honest feedback, took care of our requirements and met our criteria of showing homes. We changed our requirements few times and Roxy was always helpful and willing to bring positive changes in our search. Overall, she did a phenomenal job at making our transition smooth in every way possible. Once again thanks Roxanne :)
When i met with Nick Hazzi he had the best marketing plan, the best strategy and the most professional of the 3 realtors I called and reqested information about what their plan was, their marketing strategy. Anything that I needed to increase the marketability of my house he knew who to call and covered the costs till I received the proceeds of the sale. They went above and beyond what most realtors have done for me in the past years. This is the company to call if you want top notch service for your sale.
Amanda Tak An the Vantage West Team! couldn't have done a better job i am a true believer in Real estate. Re thought. Amanda went above & beyond for me and my property from getting quotes to checking with the city to getting legal advice to make a perfect fence and talking to the neighbors the list goes on! I have had 3 experiences with the big 3 company's and none of them are on the same level from my experiences i would never use another company! you guys rock! What Amanda and Vantage West did for me is True Quality sold it on the coming soon over asking! Respect Earned! I have nothing but great things to say always felt confident an positive with Amanda an Vantage West thank you again! You got it done! I truely won't forget it!
Ali helped my spouse and I buy a property. She worked hard and acted quickly, accommodating us with our buying needs. We are very happy with our purchase.
My wife and I had the pleasure of dealing with Nick to find us our first home. He made what seemed to be an impossible mission, a wonderful experience!! Not only did he find us the house of our dreams, but managed to negotiate it so that it was in our budget!! When it came time to get financing, I made the decision to go with a mortgage broker I knew and unfortunately, that was not the best decision! 2 days before subject removal and no approval in sight, Nick put us in touch with one of his brokers and he got us approved at a great rate and believe it or not, with time to spare! Nick was extremely calm and reassuring throughout the whole process and insisted that he will do whatever it takes to make it happen !! We are extremely grateful toward you Nick ! Thanks for everything
Ive bought and sold a lot of homes and this has been the best experience by far. From the beginning Vantage West helped determine what needed to be done prior to listing to get the most out of my sale. Recommended great trades and followed up with me the entire process to ensure everything was running as smooth as possible. The sale was stress free knowing Maggie and Nick had everything covered and were always there to answer all questions and keep me updated. They are an absolute pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with them again
If you are looking for a realtor that does everything that they say they will do (and ALOT more) you need to contact Simon Ward!! Our experience could not have been better. Simon is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Simon went above and beyond our expectations to ensure everything went smoothly. I honestly don't think anyone else would have been able to do what he did for us! Without a doubt, we highly recommend him as a realtor. Amazing and deserves 10 stars!! An experience nothing short of world class indeed!! :-) Thank you so much!
Nick and the Vantage West Realty team made shopping experience during a bull market in the Okanagan anxiety and stress free. What set them apart from other realtors I've worked with is that they put my needs first, were open and transparent about market conditions, didn't pressure me when it came to submitting offers (even with conditions) and best of all acted with absolute integrity; even going as far as doing video walkthroughs of homes while various provincial travel restrictions were in place. If you're looking for committed and honest realtors, that will put your needs first, definitely get in touch with Nick and the Vantage West Realty team. They are incredible!
Nick Hazzi made our selling experience so wonderful. Between Nick, Gayle and the rest of his team they were able to take away all the stress of selling a home and helped us achieve a quick sale. The entire process from the listing photos to our closing was so seamless and professional, we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Thanks again Nick!
I found Vantage West through a google search when I was looking for property in Kelowna. From there I was put in touch with Ali Mazzie and from our first meeting she's been so friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Excellent customer service! I would highly recommend her.
When it was time to purchase our home, Simon was an absolute pleasure to work with. He had a professional demeanor as well as a firm grasp on the real estate market. He was able to walk us through the process and help us find the home we were searching for at a price that fit into our budget. Thank you for your help Simon!
I have the opportunity to work with Elaine the third time. She helped me found three great properties. Excellent service and very professional
As a first time buyer, I was daunted by the process of finding and securing the right home. After connecting with Elaine at Vantage West Realty Inc., I knew that I had nothing to worry about! She was incredibly professional, responsive, and supportive of my partner and I as we began our journey. She has managed to ease any and all concerns or worries that have arose throughout. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her, and when our second purchase comes along years down the road, Elaine is surely who we will seek out.
Over 30 years of real estate transactions, I would place Nick Hazzi of Vantage West Realty as providing the overall highest quality service. In the past 9 months, Nick helped us sell and purchase homes in the Lake Country district. Beyond being very friendly, professional, responsive and providing a great overall service offering beyond the traditional realtor, Nick helped negotiate better terms in the sale and purchase of our homes than I would have expected. I would highly recommend Nick and Vantage West.
We worked with Roxanne O’Keefe for over a year to find the perfect place. She was patient while we changed our minds about what we were looking for, and took us on endless viewing of all different sorts of property as we tried to decide what we were looking for. She also was able to pick out properties that we hadn’t even considered in our search that turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. She was very professional and friendly, while also treating us like friends and giving us her honest opinion about places that we viewed. It was an amazing experience working with her, and I would highly recommend that anyone looking for their dream home to work with her!
Finding and buying a house in a hot market was not an easy task. Elaine Godeghesi was exceptionally professional and very personable…my expectations were high as all my criteria needed to be met. Elaine is not only a fantastic realtor, she is an excellent support system. ANYTIME there was a house that interested me, Elaine moved fast as houses were flying off the market. She negotiated and helped me purchase the house of my dreams, working hard to ensure things like repairs were fair. Her laser focus on providing me the best experience began when I decided to relocate and continued until I was fully settled in my new home and community! Elaine and her team at Vantage West Realty Inc. are amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home!
My Agent Simon Ward did a great job finding me exactly what I was looking for. He has great people skills and always made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely be calling him back in the future. Thanks again!
Simon Ward was top notch professional and pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond protocol on more than one occasion. He is still working and fighting for us on issues with the seller of the home we purchased months after we took possession. He has encouraged us to get what we deserve & what we are entitled to in regards to our purchase. He treated our investment like it was his own. He not only made the whole process easy to understand and enjoyable, but he also proved to know us better than we knew ourselves. We had looked at a few homes, all great homes but not ours, and finally he got us into one that we hadn't asked to look at but we did view pictures of and kind of passed over at first glance. Simon asked us to take a quick look just to help him understand us a little better and because we were already in the neighbourhood. We obliged and are so happy we did, this home we passed by was it. It was our home. He heard our want and needs list and really nailed it by getting us to take "just a peak" at this house. I will never work with another agent again! Simon is not your average realtor. We fully encourage anyone who is looking at buying or selling to sit down with him and you will see exactly what we mean. He will not disappoint.
My experience with Amanda Tak was amazing from beginning to end. I was buying my first home after a separation so it was a challenging situation emotionally and she was so supportive and understanding of all of my needs. At first I was thinking condos and then totally changed my mind and she was 100% on board and we went in a totally different direction! Amanda helped me find the perfect home that I am going to be able to make my own and I couldn't be more excited! Once I fell in love though, the dream almost fell through due to financing issues and Amanda worked so hard to connect me with the right people to help me get through that hurdle when I lost all hope! When issues came up in the inspection, she had a plumber there within a day to complete a further inspection and another hurdle handled! This woman is not only a realtor, she is a miracle worker! I cannot recommend Amanda enough, if you are looking for someone to make your home buying (or selling) process an amazing one, she is truly the only one to call! She is professional, knowledgeable, personable, and will make you feel at ease from the moment you meet her!
I had a great experience with Amanda and Vantage west. She helped me find a home that has everything I want, while being friendly and fun. She made everything as stress free as possible, and worked around the clock to coordinate showings, and make sure the sale went through. I really appreciate her hard work, and that she never pressured me to buy something that wasn't right for me.
My husband and I were first time home buyers and new to the area, so we appreciated that Darcy was able to educate us about the current market. He took the time to answer all of our questions about the process and helped us every step of the way. Thanks Darcy and Vantage West Realty for a great experience!
Simon Ward is awesome! He sold the house in less than a week! Everything was so smooth and professional. Highly recommended! Awesome experience!
We worked with Amanda Tak to purchase our first home and she was there with us every step of the way. She educated us on the entire process, was available when ever we needed her, she helped us negotiate a great price, and even helped us after the purchase with some unexpected issues that came up with the house. We felt confident working with her and her extensive experience was really valuable. Thank you for all your support Amanda & Vantage West Realty! We couldn't be happier!
We were first time home buyers and we had a really great experience working with Stephanie! With not know much about the buying process she took the time to slowly educate and empower us as buyers to make a wise investment decision for both now and our families future. When we found our place we felt confident and ready to make an offer and that was really important to us. I would highly recommend using Stephanie and/or Vantage West Realty as their professional team approach really allows for great customer service!
I have been working with Elaine for a couple of years now. She made the process of buying a house easy for us. We found her very personable and more than willing to go the extra mile for us. We would definitely call her first for any of our real estate needs in the future.
Stephanie providing a great experience for us when we were recently selling our home. Our home was older, quite a fixer-upper, and wasn’t the most appealing to the eye. My husband and I own our own business and we’re finding it hard to create the time for much-needed renovations as well as grow our business for the family. So we decided to put it on the market but we did have an interesting time shopping around for a realtor that didn’t judge us or make us feel like this would be an insignificant sale to them, ie: a waste of time. Stephanie definitely made us feel comfortable and valued, and she provided excellent customer service and response times to messages. Within three months our house had sold! And I’m beyond happy that we chose the excellent team at Vantage West to help us. Thank you very much for providing that great customer service and making us feel important.
This is a late review, none the less a very warranted review. My wife and I recently purchased a new home and sold our existing home with Nick Hazzi from Vantage West Reality. The level of professionalism experienced from the moment we walked in the doors of their office has not stopped even nearly a year later. Nick made a rather stressful experience a very exciting one with great ease. Nick has an approach to sales that exploits trust, he listens to the key points in which he knows mattered to our wants and lets the houses speak for themselves. In a couple cases Nick knew the house wasn't for us however he still took his time to fill our request and show us the property. In one case Nick showed us a house that my wife and I felt we loved or should I say tried to talk ourselves into loving and Nick simply looked at us and said "you are not buying this house its not the right fit" unbeknownst to us, Nick was right. Nick and the Vantage West team fully understand that a house is not only a home however it is a investment, it is values such as these that made my wife and I not customers to their business but rather "clients and partners" Thank you Vantage West and Thank you Nick, we couldn't be happier with our home.
We felt very lucky to get Stephanie for our realtor. Whatever we asked her to do or whatever she said she would do she delivered 100%. A real pleasure to work with. I recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase. ANY JOB COMPLETED IS A SELF PORTRAIT OF THE PERSON WHO DID IT. STEPHANIE, YOU HAVE AUTOGRAPHED YOUR WORK WITH EXCELLENCE.
SIMON WARD is the man you are looking for if you are looking to buy or sell in the Okanagan Region. His team is the best in the business. Went out of his way to provide us the best service one can ask for. He got us our dream vacation home and hopefully we can do business again! There's nothing to think about, go give this man a call! Until the next time SIMON! Cheers!
Darcy from Vantage West is an amazing realtor and now a friend. We liked him right away. He was courteous, polite and energetic. He is very knowledgeable and dependable. We highly recommend Darcy for any of your realty requirements. The team at Vantage West was amazing, thank you for all your help.
From beginning to end, I felt like I was being taken care of. Stephanie Ostash started off with a full assessment of my requirements and guided me every step of the way due to my lack of familiarity of the local market in Kelowna. In fact, it wasn't possible for me to be there physically so she made sure that every little detail was covered in order to give me a peace of mind. We encountered issues dealing with the seller but she still managed to navigate through them one by one and create a seamless process. Best thing of all is based on her superb negotiating skills she manage to get me a great deal. Thanks again for the phenomenal job!
Elaine helped us with the purchase of our new townhome in Kelowna. She worked very hard, helping us deal with a difficult seller and listing realtor who could have made the purchase very challenging without her help. Elaine was thorough and responsive through the whole process, and very much a pleasure to work with.
Amanda was great. We were living in Calgary and planning to make the move out to the Okanagan. We let Amanda know that we had two days to look for a house and she coordinated everything for us. She filled up our schedule and with each house, she got a better sense of what we were looking for. We didn't find a house on that trip, but she stuck with us and over the course of a few months, she helped us find a great home. We would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a realtor.
We have been working with Lindsay Anderson for a few short weeks and her level of professionalism is top notch! She is so helpful and informative. She was able to rent our home with two separate suites sooner than we anticipated! Not living in the same town as your rental property would prove to be difficult without the help of property management. We are looking forward to working with Lindsay going forward. Thanks again for your great service it is very much appreciated!
We recently bought our house through Vantage West. The experience from start to finish was stellar. Our realtor Fil Strycharek really went over and beyond to ensure that everything was taken care of and at record speed too. Highly recommended whether you are selling or buying or even just browsing.
We just purchased a summer home through Amanda Tak and I would HIGHLY recommend you contact her if you're looking for a great realtor. Very professional, excellent communication with clients and high level of knowledge make her one of the best realtors we've had. Her team is second to none and we felt supported all the way through the process to the end. Thanks again Amanda and team!
My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Darcy and the team at Vantage West Realty for purchasing our first home. They did a great job making sure we were well informed throughout the process and always responded quickly to any questions we had! Thank you guys again! Highly recommend.
Jared was great to deal with, and was a huge help in getting us into our first home. He has a great knowledge of the market and a keen eye for a good deal. He never made us feel pressured to buy something we weren't interested in and was proactive in finding us a great buy! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in this crazy market!
Amanda was incredibly knowledgably of the market and successfully SOLD our home OVER listing!! We Highly recommend Amanda if you're selling your home. Thanks for the wonderful experience :) Lynette & Warren
I have only good things to say about my rental agent Trevor Glinsbockel with Vantage West . Trevor ,by far, was the most proactive and knowledgable rental agent I have ever had. He always kept me in the loop and was clear with everything.We had some challenges and we worked together to solve them.I have now sold my place in NE Kelowna , it was a delightful experience working with him . Thanks Trevor for all the Hard work you did with managing our property, all the best.
Nick Hazzi and the entire Vantage team are truly innovating the real estate experience. I was more than confident after our first meeting that this was the team I wanted to represent the sale of my home - and they exceeded my expectations throughout the entire process. Thank you again Nick - I have and will continue to recommend you to others looking to sell or purchase their next home.
As a first time homebuyer the process of finding and completing a purchase can be a bit overwhelming - which is why I'm so glad to have been able to work with Elaine and Vantage West. Any worries I had were quickly negated as I connected with Elaine, who went above and beyond in all aspects. From carefully explaining how the process works, answering any and all questions, setting up connections and helping negotiate the strongest possible offer. We were able to close in less than a month and under asking - incredible in this market. I'll definitely be using Elaine and the Vantage West team for any future real estate purchases, I can't recommend them enough!
I truly cannot tell you what Amanda Tak has done for me time and time again. She’s incredibly responsive, hard working and gets the job done. I felt like my needs were met and exceeded multiple times. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a realtor!
Simon did a great job helping me with my lot purchase. He is knowledgeable and went out of his way to find me the answers to questions I had. He also fought for the best price and was strong in his negotiation. Thank you Simon.
Amanda was amazing! Her knowledge and availability really made the whole process easy and stress free. I would recommend her to anyone who wants someone who is actually there when you need them. Buying or leasing can be stressful, with short time to make big decisions, you need to have someone who will answer a call that means the difference between sealing the deal or losing it. She will always do her best for you.
Simon and Cassandra were AMAZING to deal with during this stressful process. From presentations to always being available to answer all of our questions, these two are the best. I have never had such good service from a realtor. We couldn’t be happier with our their excellence in customer service. Would recommend Vantage West Realty to all of our friends and family. Thank you so much for selling our home before the holidays!
My husband and I worked with Darcy Fiander when buying our first home here in Kelowna this year. As first time home buyers who didn't have a lot of knowledge of the market, Darcy did a really great job of catching us up to speed on everything we needed to know. We had very specific needs in what we were looking to buy and he took the time to ensure he understood exactly what we were in the market for, ensuring he didn't show us anything that wouldn't work. After a very short few months we are the owners of a home that is everything we wanted, which Darcy found at the lower end of our budget and we really couldn't be happier! Will definitely use him again the the future.
This was my first time selling a house. I can’t imagine what a nightmare it would have been with anyone else other than the one and only Amanda Tak with Vantage West Realty! She went above and beyond the call of duty even before the start and right to the finish! I have already recommended her to people for new listings and will continue to recommend her. Amanda set me up with everything I needed start to finish. She told me what I needed to do to make my house more desirable and to sell quicker which proved to be right. Found me someone to stage my home, found me a home inspector, and in the end found my real estate Lawyer. Whoever may be looking for a real estate Agent, look no further than Amanda Tak with Vantage West Realty. Thank you so much Amanda. Sincerely, Cam
WOW!!!! Stephanie Ostash, you are incredible. We have bought and sold with Stephanie. Her knowledge about the market and negotiating skills is superb. She is passionate about her job and she will not disappoint, you will NOT find a better realator in the Okanagan!
We had the pleasure of working with Simon Ward during the process of buying our new home. He helped us every step along the way, from narrowing our search criteria, to our final walk though. He is extremely knowledgeable and connected in the Kelowna real estate market and has amazing negotiating skills and techniques. He stayed positive and kept us on track and moving forward though all the bumps of buying a new house and gave us time and space to think alone when we needed it. I will recommend Simone and the rest of his team to anyone buying a house in the okanagan!
We had just moved down from Edmonton and were interested in buying a house. A friend of ours recommended Darcy as they had a great experience with him. We had a tight budget and couple needs when looking for our house with Darcy. He was always polite, professional and answered all of our questions. Darcy was able to find a perfect house for us that works for all of our needs. We couldn't be anymore happier. Thanks, Darcy.
After numerous attempts to sell our properties we brought in Nick who was able to find a serious buyer to facilitate a quick closing. The Vantage West staff were very professional and prompt to respond to queries and helped us navigate the deal right up to the closing day. I’ve dealt with many realtors over the years and this experience was by far and above the others.
We have purchased multiple homes through Vantage West Realty in Kelowna, BC. Nick Hazzi is by far the best realtor of many that we have ever worked with. Nick and the team at Vantage West were professional and prompt throughout the buying process, and there is no doubt that we benefited from Nick's advice during the negotiation process to buy. We would highly recommend Vantage West, and Nick in particular for your next purchase or sale! Mike & Lori
I recently worked with Calista Anderson from Vantage West to sell my 2 bedroom condo in Kelowna. As a first time seller, Calista was able to guide me through the whole process start to finish, taking away all of the stress I thought I'd encounter. As I am not currently living in Kelowna, Calista jumped in and took care of absolutely everything on my behalf, even building trust and a rapport with my tenant. Although my property was a humble 2 bedroom space, Calista made my sale feel just as important as any other. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Calista to anyone looking for a Realtor who is relentlessly hardworking and a consummate professional.
Simon and Vantage West have absolutely renewed my faith in the real estate industry. With Simon’s insight into the market, and his attention to our wishes and needs, we sold our home in a pretty tough market. From the signage, online presence, and comprehensive handouts, his marketing was on point. We were pleasantly surprised with the ‘boasting binder’ for the potential buyer. It included detailed house specifications with the additional perspective of the seller’s questionnaire that we completed, reminding us of why we called it home. Simon provided continuous updates and feedback, and our questions and concerns were responded to in a timely and reassuring manner. He wasn’t just about price drops, but instead addressed feedback from our showings and came up with ways to address buyers’ specific concerns. Vantage West’s incredible staff, with our realtor Simon, collectively turned a stressful situation into a nurtured transition. We would not give a moment’s hesitation before highly recommending Simon and Vantage West Realty as the pinnacle of realtors.
Elaine is the most amazing agent I have had the chance to work with. She is resourceful, friendly, always available and I can go on and on. I promise if you choose her as your realtor tou will not be disappointed!
This operation is professional, competent, and personal. I would highly recommend to anyone considering purchasing in the Kelowna area. Stephanie goes well above and beyond the call of duty. She has played a part in every part of my transaction. I will not hesitate to use her services again. She is completely top notch.
Krista Marble was cheerful, friendly and very professional while she assisted us in looking for a condo. She was diligent to make us aware of various properties as soon as they were listed on the market and promptly made appointments for us to view any in which we might be interested. She was very patient and never pressured us to make a quick decision. We greatly appreciate the service she provided for us.
Calista was amazing to work with! From our very first zoom meeting to closing the purchase on our new home! She really listened to what we wanted in a house and made the entire process of searching and making an offer on a home easy and pressure free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Working with Stephanie and the rest of the Vantage West team was a fantastic experience! Moving provinces with a young family is a very stressful time. Stephanie's expertise and confidence kept us calm, focused and excited through a very long journey. Everyone at Vantage West made us feel welcome and that they were truly there to help us. We highly recommend Stephanie for anyone looking for any sort of real estate need in the Okanagan.
Based on AJs personality. Met away from work while he was out with friends. His words to me were just as 'scathing' as this review.
Darcy was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic when it came to selling our apartment. The realty firms marketing program is second to none and got our place out there for people to see very quickly. Their photography people did an awesome job of showing the best features of our place. The place sold quickly and for close to our asking price. Great job guys.
What can we Say about Amanda Tak at Vantage West Realty. Professional, Kind, Dedicated, Knowledgeable an amazingly Hard Worker, These are just a few of the great things that come to mind. From the get go Amanda was very positive and confident that we would be able to sell our Condo, even in these uncertain times. Let me tell you she did not disappoint. With Amanda's as well as her teams hard work, also a very big thank you for the amazing work and Brilliant eye of Heather Hazzi, we sold our condo in 11hrs! and over asking! my Wife and I are elated! Amanda Tak went above and beyond what you would expect, the hard work and dedication that she gave us was amazing. Amanda is extreamly knowlagable in todays market along with the fact that she always has your best intrest at heart, I would recomend her to be in your corner any day of the week! The Skills Amanda brings to the table are utterly invaluable a total package, when it comes to Realty Amanda Tak is the real deal! If you are thinking about selling your property, do it with Amanda Tak at Vantage West Realty, you will defiantly be in the right hands.
I highly recommend Chris Muller and Vantage West Realty! Chris is very knowledgable and was incredibly supportive with our purchases. In particular he has helped us with an investment property and has been such a huge help ensuring we learn from and leverage his prior experiences and contacts. Even well past the closing of our purchase, he continues to support us with valuable insight and advice and it is very apparent that he genuinely wants to see us succeed.
I am so very grateful and thankful that Amanda was referred to me! I was not having any luck with realtors who I had reached out to replying back to me. I would get no reply or an agent secretary reply who did not have the answers I needed. I asked my dad‘s realtor from Penticton if she could refer a realtor who worked in Kelowna. This is what she replied with. “Amanda Tak is fantastic. We send each other referrals often, she won't let you down.” It was mid-July and we had to move quickly as my daughter was starting school in September and we wanted to purchase a condo. The first conversation that I had with Amanda I felt my anxiety and stress decrease immensely. Amanda exceeded any expectations I had! She set up a Zoom call and went over everything with us. My dad‘s realtor, Dianne Vanschilt, nailed it with what she said about Amanda. I can guarantee anyone looking for a realtor that it’s true… Amanda won’t let you down! Thank you so much Amanda and the Vantage West team for helping us find the perfect university home. Xo Tasha Pilkington
The team at Vantage West Realty just sold my house and found me a great new house too... I am so impressed by them all! I was nervous about selling then buying a new home but my awesome Realtor Stephanie Ostash and the team took care of everything... they got my house sold quickly for full asking price! I worked directly with Stephanie and the rest of the team did everything else including marketing my home with an incredible web page and virtual online tour. All the latest technology was used to sell my home along with tracking web views and lots of online advertising. Kristen kept me up to date with documents and contracts, Maggie guided me with the whole moving process... the team took care of everything! They are all so friendly and positive... The Vantage team approach is so much better than what I have experienced with past realtors where the realtors did their own customer home marketing, sales, documentation etc. The Vantage team is made up of professionals that all worked individually to sell my home, the quality of their work speaks for itself, and one agent alone could not possibly match the output of this team! The Vantage West team approach allowed Stephanie more time to work with me to sell my home and to find me another. I was very impressed by the team at Vantage West Realty! I felt like part of the team, we were all working to sell my house and find me a new home to buy. They made the whole process stress free and I enjoyed every part of it! Thank you to the team at Vantage West Realty!
My husband and I have bought and sold a lot of Realestate and I have to say, that working with Darcy and his team has been the most pleasant and smooth transaction we have ever endured ,in the real estate process. The photographers were absolutely wonderful and they did an amazing job. The marketing is without a doubt the best we have encountered and this is the first time in 12 homes that I felt like our realtor ,was working for us and our best interests. Darcy was on top of it right from the start. his whole team rocks. Great job you guys and thank you for helping us, get to the next adventure.
Amanda did a great job, always on time,, quick responds and beside through entire process from searching house until last signature. Wow! It was a real service. Will definitely recommend Vantage West Realty to my friends.
We met with Nick at Vantage a few years back when we were selling our home. I remember feeling frustrated with realtors we had worked with before and I needed to know they would be there for us and that we weren’t just another “listing”. Nick made it clear that they provide a service no one else does and although I was a sceptic, I took a chance on him. If I was to describe the Vantage team, I would say they are extremely organized and thorough in their work. They take pride in doing what they are doing, they are innovated and front runners when it comes to their marketing strategies. Any questions we had were answered promptly and they are with you every single step of the process. If they don’t have the answer, they will find it. They are well educated on today’s market and past markets and they stick by your side from start to finish. I can’t tell you how amazing it felt to have so much stress taken off our back (as we all know how stressful moving can be). Thank you so much for taking care of us, you live up to all the hype in our world. We are clients for life! The Tootoo’s
Thanks Fil and Vantage West for an amazing selling experience. I have been impressed with the process from the beginning.This company thinks outside the box and is current in todays market. The photos and videos taken of the house were top notch and the advice from the interior designer on staging was much appreciated. The entire staff was attentive, friendly and kind. I have bought and sold many houses and this is the first time I was happy to hand over the commission. Thank you all for making this easy.
My Wife and I had the pleasure of dealing with Darcy Fiander and the Vantage West Realty Team in selling our Condo recently..... From the moment we first met the staff at their Manhattan Drive Office, I knew that we were in good hands. As you walk into their office, you are greeted by professional staff and know that they will put their best effort into your sale. The audio visual presentations presented by the Vantage Team clearly set them apart from the other Real Estate Agents that I researched. I know there are choices out there... When the time comes to sell your home, I would encourage you to put Darcy's name on your short list.....in fact I'd put his name on the top of your list..... He would be the agent that you measure the others against ! Thanks Again Darcy !!
Lindsay Anderson from Vantage West Realty was our property manager in Rutland, Kelowna. She didn’t inform us about extra pets the tenants brought and kept in our property. She caused us lots of damage and costs with her cover ups and lying. No one seemed to be responsible for the damage, when we asked why we didn’t get informed. Truly unprofessional. Haven’t had a good experience with this company at all.
I would like to say how much we appreciated Evan Goodes professional ways of helping us with selling our Peachland home and buying our condo at Waterscapes. It wasn't the easiest adventure but Evan made sure that we got to where we needed to be. We still have a few things to do but we feel at ease with him by our side. We honestly couldn't have done this without him. Evan is a kind and a wonderful young man. We definitely will recommend him to family and friends. Plus, with any future real estate investments he will be our go to guy!! We want to thank Evan from the bottom of our hearts. This guy put his heart and soul into helping us. Thank you so much Evan. Bonnie & Gord Hinds
Outstanding real estate agents. Every time I have a question Nick is never too busy to assist me and give me the best advice. He has helped me find what I am looking for every time.
Fil has and continues to be a great individual to deal with. The care he puts into what he does makes working with him a pleasure. My husband recently passed away and knowing that, Phil has taken every consideration in listing my home. He has relieved me of the stresses that are involved in selling my home. I definitely will recommend Fil.
Very professional with exceptional results. Fil and the crew exceeded our expectations of a realty company. Our home was sold in 4 days!! I recommend Vantage West to get your home sold. Thank you Fil!
Wow, we were thoroughly impressed with Vantage West and their team of associates. We worked with Ali Mazzei and could not of been happier. Not only did she provide great insights into the West Kelowna area during our search, but she had also liaised access to numerous local resources that we wouldn’t of been able to make contact with, while making a purchase from abroad. She was there for us during the entire buying process and is still with us to this day, on multiple fronts, almost a year and a half later! She has gone the extra mile to make sure that our property is taken care of and that we are still 100% on board with her and the team at Vantage. We would refer you in a heartbeat, Ali! We can’t say thank you enough to you, and your team, for your continued dedication to your clients and their needs. Cheers, Derek
Elaine@VantageWest set out on a journey with us to find a recreation property that perfectly fit our family, our budget and our lifestyle. Elaine gave us ample time and resources. She allowed us to gain the knowledge needed to buy with confidence on our schedule, with no pressure. In a very hot market, our dream property presented itself and we were ready. Our family is so excited to be making memories in our new ski chalet. Our sincerest recommendation! Elaine is outstanding!
Thank you Nick Hazzi and the Vantage West Team for all your hard work on the sale of our house! Nick and Allie were great at keeping us informed along the way and we appreciate their dedication and determination on making it happen! It was a pleasure working with you!
Darcy Fiander and Vantage West realty were terrific at helping me sell my home. I had never sold a home before and didn’t have a clue on how to proceed. Darcy walked me through the entire process and made the experience so easy. He was extremely helpful, professional, and always available for any questions I might have. I highly recommend both Darcy and Vantage West. Thank you so much
Having an entire team working together to sell my home was a great experience. Like hitting the ‘easy’ button. Working with Fil was fantastic. He was very efficient and responded quickly to my needs, even at sometimes unreasonable hours.
Evan Goode provided excellent service during my recent condo purchase. Being new to the area, I appreciated his expertise, knowledge and professionalism. A special shout out to Ali Mazzei who was always there providing friendly assistance day or night! I have no hesitation in recommending the Vantage West team for future real estate services. Thanks to all!
I had a great experience with Amanda Tak! She was super helpful in coordinating my purchase even when I was out of the country, including arranging painting and delivery of my shipment. I would highly recommend using this realty company!
I had a great experience with Vantage West Realty. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable. Stephanie Ostash is an amazing realtor! She went beyond the call of duty to help us find an investment property. Stephanie even showed us a place that was about to go on the market at 10pm one night. She answered our texts day and night. Multiple offers were written without any complaints. She was a pleasure to deal with. Very personable and caring. I look forward to working with her again in the future.
I live outside of the Okanagan. Calista went in my opinion above the requirements of a real estate agent. Not only helping facilitate some upgrades, but when i did decide to accept an offer. She didn't leave a stone unturned, by calling other interested parties and getting the best offer for me and my family!
Our recent experience with Vantage West was excellent. Cassandra’s preparation, market knowledge and negotiating skills secured the home we were looking for in Kelowna. Her service is first class and she is lots of fun to work with. AJ and the whole team provided excellent support, making sure even the smallest detail was covered. We highly recommend Cassandra and Vantage West.
When purchasing my first home Roxanne was amazing. She answered all my questions and walked me through every step. I never felt alone or confused about the process. It took a while to find the right home but Roxanne kept searching until we finally found our dream home. It ended up being a foreclosure and that ended up being an entirely new scary process. Roxanne had dealt with forclosures preciously and again effortlessly walked us through it and now we are settled in our new home and love it! Thank you so much!
Roxanne was amazing! Patient, knowledgable & optimistic, she was exactly what we needed to find our home. She walked us through the whole process from market research to home insurance brokers. We can't wait to work with her again!
Roxanne O'Keefe, you are extraordinary! Because of your expertise, I was able to buy my first house as an immigrant in a very competitive market. Roxanne thanks for being honest, upfront and clear in communication during the entire stressful process. I immensely appreciate you for going above and beyond with your excellent knowledge and understanding of the real estate market ensuring that the process was successful. My daughters enjoy the place and for that I will be forever grateful, and will highly recommend you. Cheers
Amazing experience with Simon ward and his fantastic team at vantage west. Simon did a wonderful job positioning me in the market. The showings were exactly tailored to what we wanted! Will be recommending him to all of our friends as well as useing him and the vantage west team with all my upcoming property’s.
Darcy at Vantage West has been an amazing Realtor for my husband and I! He consistently stayed in contact with us even when we had to step away from the market, but he was never pushy. Always friendly and kept us in mind anytime something came on the market that he knew we could have a chance with. He worked with our budget really well and managed to find us a home that we absolutely love. I will be recommending Darcy and the whole Vantage West team to anyone that I can :)
We worked with Stephanie Ostash of Vantage West Realty for almost a year to find our perfect property. Not only was Stephanie endlessly patient, showing us multiple properties, she provided us with so much insight and information we would never have had on our own. We learned a lot! Once we found our new home, we had a quick close and Stephanie and Kristen handled all of the details. The whole process could not have been smoother. Kristen took care of all the admin details perfectly. We were always kept in the loop and felt Stephanie had our back all the way. Nothing was too much trouble. Cannot recommend Stephanie and her team at Vantage West highly enough. A great experience.
We used Darcy Fiander as our realtor and he did a great job. When we first started looking at houses, he took us to different areas to get an insight into neighborhoods. He has a calm, friendly personality and is knowledgeable. Throughout the whole process (which took almost a year) he never pushed us to make a decision. He was really patient. With his help we bought a house that we felt good about to buy. Darcy and the team from Vantage West Realty made this whole process of buying a house really easy. They hooked us up with a great home inspector and a lawyer. Answered our questions and explained what we have to do and when.
My wife and I have purchased existing homes and have also built new homes so finding a realtor that is willing to take the time to go through listings and multiple showings for picky people is rare. Nick and Gayle were great to deal with, very professional and nice people. We had a competing offer on our house and with Nick in our corner the deal swung our way!! Thank you so much for getting us the house we wanted.
We are very pleased with the recent sale of our condo in Kelowna with Vantage West Realty and in particular, Krista Marble as our agent. She was very professional and thorough throughout the entire experience. We were ecstatic that she was able to sell the condo before it even went on the market: no listing, no open houses, no waiting - amazing!!! Right from the start she was always available to us for any questions that we had right up until the possession date. Her thoughtful and personally tailored "thank you for doing business" gift basket was and extra special touch and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend using Vantage West and we will definitely use Krista Marble in the future for any of our real estate needs.
We have had a great experience, and a great time with Nick from Vantage West. As newbies to the Kelowna property market, Nick helped us to navigate our way through the many options and opportunities that the city presented. With his deep local knowledge he helped to turn our desires into concrete choices, to challenge our preconceptions and to look at things through a different set of eyes. We found our home and couldn’t be happier. Overall, a great and enjoyable experience. We would highly recommend Vantage Realty - a top notch team!
Stephanie was fabulous. She SOLD our house during "Coming Soon" before the listing went live for FULL PRICE offer with the quick close dates we needed!!! HOW CAN YOU DO BETTER THAN THAT!!! Oh wait, you can do better than that... she also brought us wine to celebrate our accepted offer. We would recommend Stephanie to ANYONE! You can can tell she definitely loves her job and is damn good at it.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Krista Marble during my purchase of a condo in Kelowna. She understood exactly what I was looking for from one simple telephone conversation. Krista brilliantly served my needs with her thoroughness and promptness. If found her to be friendly as well as extremely professional. I would recommend her services without hesitation!
We had the pleasure of working with Amanda when we decided to move from Alberta to the okanagan. She was so honest with us and really got to know what we were looking for, and didn’t waste time showing us things that didn’t fit what we wanted. She found us a beautiful home in lake county and we couldn’t be happier. She was able to help us find Erik and Elisha that worked their butts off getting us the mortgage, that worked the best for us. Amanda is great at her job and is a really awesome person. We highly recommend her!!
I began looking for an investment property with Amanda Tak about a year and a half ago. During the entire process of finding a place Amanda was incredibly supportive, helpful and patient. She never once pressured me to come to BC to look at places or to purchase a place after I made the trip out. When I was ready to make an offer she was assertive with negotiations, helped me navigate the process and most importantly she helped keep me calm and find solutions to the many many bumps along the way. She’s an absolute rock star and gem to work with. Oh and fun fact I never met Amanda in person so I can only imagine what she is like in real life if she is this amazing over the phone. I would 100% use her on my next purchase. I also want to shout out to Roxy who helped me with my showing. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and helpful. She was accommodating with adding places, going back to places, and working with my schedule. Roxy was also a pleasure to work with.
Nick and Maggie provided an exceptional service! We highly recommend them. Nick was extremely helpful in the selling and buying process: very knowledgeable, professional, detail oriented, honest and direct, available....and an amazing negotiator! Nick, Maggie and their team were always quick to react, full of information and answers to any of our question or worry. We will definitely contact Nick again. Thank you!
Amanda tak has shown confidence with her abilities to understand her clients needs for a property in a very sincere way. She has made the process seamless and enjoyable. She in fact recommended a property that she knew we would like, that had recently dropped is asking by 50k and was able to generate a quick offer in order for us to aquire our dream home. We will be using her again and would gladly recommend her to anyone needing fantastic service. Thanks Amanda!
