My husband and I have been working with Calista for a few years now. She has helped us acquire a rental property as well as our new primary residence for our growing family. She is a natural negotiator and has delivered on this many times for us! At one point, she helped us through a tough situation where we had to walk away from an accepted offer and she handled that situation with grace and professionalism. Her personal and professional experience with real estate, particularly with rentals, renovations/building, and design have helped us to choose and secure properties that make sense for our portfolio. I also appreciate her moral support and compassionate and knowledgeable ear when I needed to make some tough decisions during the buying process. Her “Leave it with me!” attitude was nice to lean on as well as we have a busy family life! - Chantel Au

Working with Calista on the purchase of this property was really great. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She provided a great sense of comfort and ease and helped make the process simple. - Tammy Bertram

Calista exceeded expectations in a very challenging market. She made a very stressful and difficult situation effortless. I always felt she had our best interest and always felt sympathetic to our needs in this market. She understood the market and always kept us informed from the very beginning and to the very end, communication is the key and she nailed it. I would totally recommend her, she definitely deserves this 5 star rating! - Teresa Higgins

This was our second time purchasing and our first time selling. I thought our first home purchase was good until we worked with Calista and vantage West. Calista service and knowledge level was above and beyond our expectations. We spent about 2 years searching for our dream home and can confidently say we found it thanks to her. Once we found our house we had to sell quickly, while maximizing our return. Calista and Vantage West made this overwhelming task seem easy, organized and straightforward. We are happy with the sale price of our home, and ecstatic with the home we found. We cannot thank Calista and Vantage West enough. We will be recommending her as often as possible to friends and family. - Brock Raddatz

Calista provided her expertise and guidance every step of the way. We felt she was extremely professional and down to earth at the same time. As first time home buyers, she truly helped relieve a lot of stress that occurs during the home buying process. Any questions or concerns we had, Calista was always on top of it, and would find us a solution or answer in a timely manner. As newcomers to BC, she was also able to offer us an extensive list of referrals from insurance providers, lawyers, cleaner, home renovation, and local hot spots to visit, etc. We never felt pressured during the buying process. Calista was very patient with us, and even drove us to several viewings because we didn’t have a car. When we were ready to put in an offer, she used her savvy negotiation skills to help us secure ‘THE PROPERTY’ we loved the most! Even after our closing date, I appreciated that there was still an open channel of communication in case we had issues. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement. As there was an existing tenant, she helped to communicate on our behalf with the tenant to ensure rent was paid on time, to organizing a professional cleaning before our move-in, and even came with us for the final walk through.l! Truly she facilitated a smooth transition and took out any of the awkwardness of the transfer. Thank you once again Calista for making this chapter in our lives such an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend! - Melissa Lam

Calista was an excellent realtor, as her service and attention to detail was outstanding. Her commitment to timely response and follow-up was excellent and she certainly was able to understand what our needs were. I would highly recommend Calista to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Okanagan. - John & Kelley Crandell

My husband and I were very pleased with the service from Calista. She is definitely a go-getter and she went above and beyond to get us into our first home. Her eagerness to help us was an asset, as well as her warm personality. I would definitely recommend this personable agent! - Ashley Ord

Calista responded to all of our needs as first time home buyer’s. She is very organized, professional, and ethical; but more than that Calista cares that you find the one that’s right for you. We received great market education, we're shown all of the listings that were right for  us, and in negotiations Calista went to bat for us. I would recommend Calista to anyone in this tough market looking to buy or sell. - Lynn Lee-Ran

Calista provided very good advice during the purchasing process of our cottage during a very hot market. The deal moved fast and Calista was there every step. We have done other purchases with Calista as well. - James

Calista is a gem of a human - she is intelligent, efficient, wise, kind and a delight to work with. As a young woman myself, I was treated extremely poorly by male realtors in Kelowna (they undervalued my property and pressured me to choose them). Calista was the complete opposite. She was wise, strategic, well-informed, personable, and offered me all the support and information I could have asked for. Calista was an excellent negotiator and I never felt pressured. She gave me great advice. Calista knows what she is doing and her steady, calm, kind presence makes her a dream to work with. I highly recommend Calista, she made a huge difference during a pivotal time in my life and I am satisfied and content with the outcome. Every curveball and unexpected adventure on this real estate journey was made easier knowing that Calista was by my side. - Emmy

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! - Joe Saric

Calista was very knowledgeable about the market, she took time to listen to our thoughts and concerns and we always felt she had our interest first. She is a first class agent I would always recommend her to all - Paul Jordan

I recently worked with Calista 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. - Laura Drake

Calista was great. She was always responsive and helped with our home while we were away - watering plants, cleaning floors, etc. She was professional, direct and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in selling their home. - Jason

We have lived in the Okanagan for 18 years this month and have bought and sold a number of properties dealt with many realtors. We found Calista Anderson a excellent person to talk to and very very happy to have her as our realtor. - Wanda Maloney

As a first-time home buyer, I had done some research beforehand. After dealing with a couple other brokers and was disappointed, I felt lucky to find Calista. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity, and hard work ethics are very much appreciated. She was such a caring realtor and was so attentive to my needs. She was patient, kind, and always answered my questions. She was extremely helpful, detail oriented, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. I will definitely reach out to Calista in the future, and I would recommend her to all my friends and family. A joy to work with! - Houssain El Aribi

Really enjoyed working with Calista over the past 4 months. My husband and I just bought our first house in Canada and as we are new to the country (we landed here 7 months ago!), we were clean slates like a couple of baby immigrants; naive, hopeful and optimistic. Calista is warm, welcoming and very easy to get along with. She put us right at ease from our first meeting so we felt confident that we could trust her right away. She understood our circumstance and heard what we needed. Calista has been super patient too. For example, we knew we loved Kelowna and wanted to live somewhere around here, which is really vague, so as we became more familiar with the city, our needs and wants evolved with that too. Another example of Calista's patients is the fact that she answered all of our questions, no matter how many times she already explained, if we didn't retain something or didn't understand something, she was kind and patient enough to go over things again. Calista paid close attention to any changes in what we wanted and came through and responded to adjustments every time, for each of us as individuals, as well as together as a couple. Even when I've been a bit panicked and frantic and chose to view a house that did not meet our non-negotiables, she would call me out on that, and bring us back into alignment into what we needed. We were impressed too when she went the extra mile, when we were not available to see couple of houses by their deadline, Calista took it upon herself to do a guided video tour of houses which were both super thorough and detailed, even getting a sense of the street and the neighborhood. Calista has a great eye for creativity which I really appreciate because I'm not as able to visualize the potential of a room any differently to how it already is - she was able to point out potential modifications to spaces which is cool and inspiring. We put offers on 4 houses in total and Calista really supported and guided us through it each time. Calista was super transparent with her discussions with the listing agents and really batted for us to get a fair deal. We are so happy with the result that we have now and its even sweeter knowing that we did not need to stretch to the top of our budget, even though we were prepared to. This meant a lot to us because it is so wild to think of the difference in what we might have paid upfront as well as our potential mortgage repayments vs the reality of what did happen. That was all down to Calista's advocacy. This process has not been easy and we feel so lucky and grateful that we got to work with Calista. Thank you for everything and I hope we work with you again in the future! - Sam Scouse

We had THE BEST experience dealing with Calista for our home buying journey. Calista is an absolute professional and is extremely easy to get along with. Calista goes above and beyond what is expected of her and even after we closed on the purchase she was there for us to make sure the move went smoothly and any issues that came up she handled professionally and in a timely manner. Calista made us feel valued and that our questions mattered. She always has a smile on her face and she has the most lovely personality. She is not pushy or opinionated and truly wants to help make the buying process a stress free experience. Calista is truly amazing and I feel she is an extremely valuable asset to your real estate team. Never let her go! - Bev Anderson

Calista was amazing to work with right from our first zoom call meeting! She gave us a lot of information about different neighbourhood and the market, and listened to everything we were looking for in a house. And she found us the perfect house! She helped us every step of the way with making an offer and making sure we were 100% comfortable and happy with the conditions of the sale! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! - Megan

I would have to say that Calista exceeded all our expectations during the process. Without her hard work; knowledge and understanding 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 the situation. - Peter Kerswell

I would definitely recommend Calista and Vantage West for all item Real Estate related items. Calista did a wonderful job of introducing me to the search, and purchase, process of my first home. She was knowledgeable and was very good at refining the search process to reflect all of my comments, likes, and dislikes. The complete process through to move-in was very smooth and I couldn't have asked for a better purchasing experience. - None
