I am so glad that I connect with Vantage West Realty Inc. The agent Amanda is very professional and provides very detailed information on the area we are looking to buy. She and her assistant Amy are super helpful and professional. In the current hot market, we were able to purchase our ideal property at an ideal price. Amanda and her team provided a beyond excellent service. If you're looking for an agent who can help you in Kelowna, Vernon, or their surrounding areas, it will be valuable to have Amanda and her team with you!

This was our first home buying experience, and Elaine made it a breeze! At the outset, she took care to explain the entire process to us in minute detail. My parents, who have been through this a few times, remarked that they had never had the process of buying a home explained to them so thoroughly by any of their previous realtors. We were fortunate to find a home that we fell in love with fairly quickly. When we conveyed this to Elaine, she worked around the clock to get a competitive offer in for us. She also made sure we put our best foot forward to guarantee a good outcome in a very competitive

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 OKeefe & 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

Finding and buying a house in a hot market was not an easy task. Elaine Godeghesi was exceptionally professional and very personablemy 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

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.
