Home Purchase in Vernon | Jun 2023
Elaine helped us significantly as we are a family of 5 and moved from a different town 3 hours away. She was more than helpful and had zero issues answering every and any question we had for her even went as far as viewing houses for us on times we couldn't make it. Shes a rockstar. Life's been so busy or I would have left this review awhile ago. I will not use any other realtor after Elaine helped us significantly she is our families go to realtor. We appreciate you. - Jason Olsen
Home in Kelowna | Sep 2023
Working with Elaine to sell and buy our homes was an effortless, enjoyable and a very positive experience. From our first meeting, where Elaine presented a non-pressured market education process to after the closing dates of both homes, Elaine guided us through every step in a calm, positive manner. What we love about Elaine, is her positive energy, her sincerity and her incredible work ethic. Every question about every house was answered as soon as possible. Elaine honoured our time, our needs and respected our home search wish list. Working with the Vantage West team, especially Nadine, Elaine’s assistant, was exceptional. They assisted us with a preferred list of professionals such as lawyers, home inspectors and insurance agents and outlined our steps clearly every step of the process. We highly recommend Elaine. It is no surprise that she consistently receives five star ratings as her service is five star plus. Thank you Elaine, for helping us find and purchase the house of our dreams. We love our new home!

Condo Purchase in Kelowna South, Kelowna | Nov 2021
This is a long overdue review of my awesome agent Elaine Godeghesi only because life got in the way. I put Elaine through so many ‘maybe the one’ places and always turned up happy to show and fully prepared. I took a long time finding the right one and eventually I did. Her professionalism in negotiating and closing the deal made my nervous life easy. I will definitely be calling her if I decide to sell. Once again, thank you Elaine. I’m very happy in my home. - Barbara Goddard
Townhome Purchase in Kelowna | Oct 2023
I have the utmost admiration for Elaine Godhesi. On day one, she told me we would be in this together and she meant it. At every step, she was there to help navigate a challenging 18 month new-home purchase process that was characteristic of the following: Permitting delays, weather delays, labour shortages, WILDFIRES! and related insurance delays. This was a very long process that was often outside the control of others. She helped navigate it and is an absolute pro! I didn't know Elaine before she was my agent. I would highly recommend her. She was extremely consistent, quick to respond and demonstrated the utmost integrity at every stage. Most importantly, she knew how to handle all the complexity thrown our way. I am soon moving into an outstanding new home. I am glad the process is over but very happy to have had Elaine work along side me. - Corey Zaharuk
Home Purchase in Kelowna | Jul 2023
When you don't got this, Elaine has got this!! Steadfast, knowledgeable, patient, kind, She is a magical being who is working for you. She shares what the process is going to look like from start to finish sharing what to expect in an unpredictable market, which brings so much confidence and ease. My process was longer due to personal events in my life and Elaine stayed beside me through the entire process. I highly recommend Elaine even when the sale is complete she continued to offer support in anyway she could to make the move a stress free experience. Loved working with Elaine. I highly recommend her. - Kaayla Vedder
Townhome Purchase in City Of Vernon, Vernon | Apr 2022
11/10!! Huge kudos to Elaine, who feels like the angel of an aunty who will always be there for you. She will explain, plan, arrange, guide, and listen genuinely at the drop of at hat. As someone who is trans, autistic, and a young mom, she was the sweetest, cheerful, and most accommodating person I could have ever wished for! You can tell she really loves her job and absolutely beams when she's able to find something that fits just right. There was no pressure, no fear, and she was happy to wait as long as I needed at any stage in the process. I recommend her to everyone and hope life's been treating her as kindly as she treats the world <3 - Chey Kidd

Townhome in Kelowna | Oct 2022
We would just like to thank our realtor Elaine Godeghesi who went above and beyond to sell our house and find us a new beautiful home. Elaine was always there for us with patience and the utmost professionalism as we looked at many properties. Elaine is very personable and very knowledgeable of the evolving market place. Elaine thank you so so much for everything, and making a difference, we could not have asked for a better realtor. We highly recommend this lady and Vantage West. - Mark & Karen Braidwood

Home Purchase in Highway 97, Kelowna | Sep 2022
Elaine was fantastic and helped us in every way possible! She made our move from Chetwynd easy and perfect. Without her we would have never found our dream home! I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone I know who is looking for a home or selling for that matter 😃 - Lorraine Adams
Home Purchase in Lakeview Heights, Kelowna | Sep 2022
Elaine is a true gem. We could not have asked for a better experience with a realtor or the entire VW team. The majority of our house purchase journey took place from abroad and Elaine was extremely accommodating, thoughtful, understanding and trustworthy. We appreciated her market education and insights which were truly valuable as non residents. Elaine understood our wants and needs yet she knew where and how to expand our visions without ever being pushy or overbearing. She navigated a massive time difference and was intuitive and proactive during the final purchase steps. Nothing was too much. We are so thankful we had Elaine to help us navigate this big step. - Jay St John
Townhome Purchase in Kelowna | Jun 2022
Elaine is not just a realtor but a best friend. She showed us all the houses in our range and never miss any chance to give her 100%. Even she supported us after our home buying process. She is very responsive and knowledge person when we talk about the housing market. - Nikhar Bhavsar
Townhome Purchase in Kelowna | Jun 2022
Elaine Godeghesi was my realtor for a purchase in West Kelowna. I was out of province and she handled every detail and aspect of the transaction. It was a complicated transaction and she was so efficient and organized I did not have to think about anything. I would highly recommend Elaine as your realtor you will not be disappointed. - Darlene Hincks
Condo Sale in Rutland, Kelowna | Aug 2022
Elaine with her efficiency, clear communication and positive approach changed my opinion of realtors. I know that her high integrity and qualities could not copy-paste easily. I consider that it’s a luck to work with her of the sale of my apartment and gave her name as reference to some of my friends. Thank you, Elaine! - Gabor S
Condo Purchase in Rutland, Kelowna | Jul 2022
Sincere, genuine, professional, efficient, and very knowledgeable are a few describing words for this gem. Unbelievable service Elaine provided from day one. She truly went the extra mile to source out the perfect place for me. Being a sellers market. We managed to scoop up my first investment property under asking. Super excited to work with her on the next one. Thanks Elaine, forever grateful we met! - Darien Didier
Condo Sale in Rutland, Kelowna | Jun 2022
I wasn't familiar with real estate agents in Kelowna so I was thrilled to find Elaine through the recommendation of a friend. Her professional and friendly manner coupled with her impressive expertise made selling my condo a pleasure and very easy. The Coming Soon feature helped a lot to create interest and in the end I sold in one day for over the asking price. Elaine was always on hand, responding quickly to requests and questions. She made the process easy and was there every step of the way. Her encouragement and understanding of the property market in Kelowna were invaluable. I highly recommend Elaine for any real estate business you are undertaking. - Susan Milne
Home Purchase in Upper Mission, Kelowna | Jun 2022
We had a wonderful experience working with Elaine and her team while buying our new home in Kelowna. Elaine listened to our wants and needs, and she spent time getting to know our family. She is very knowledgeable about Kelowna's real estate, and she provided us with good advice and a variety of appropriate listings. Elaine is also an excellent communicator, and she kept us well-informed during the entire process. We really appreciated how quickly she responded to any of our questions or concerns. Elaine works with a great team of professionals, and they made sure that our transaction was smooth. We would definitely work with Elaine again and would highly recommend her to our friends and family! - Dustin and Sandra McDonald
Home Purchase in Kelowna | Jul 2022
Moving is a stressful time for anyone but moving across provinces just adds an extra level! We were incredibly fortunate to be paired with Elaine from Vantage West Realty to begin our search for our forever home in Kelowna. As there are many mountains and valleys this beautiful Okanogan region offers there were also mountains and valleys in our adventure with Elaine. Our situation was complicated… there’s no doubt about it… but Elaine ALWAYS focused our attention to the positive and included us every step of the way. The exchange of information was always present regardless of the time or day. Elaine and her team from Vantage West (Shelley, Nadine, Riley to mention a few) as well as all the professionals that she recommended to us were completely top-notch and exceeded our expectations! She is absolutely stellar at her job and the most sincere and genuine person you will ever have the privilege to meet! Our heart felt thanks to you Elaine for helping us find our perfect home! - Shelley Inman
Townhome Purchase in Vernon | Jun 2022
Elaine was an amazing support throughout my hunt for a new home. She listened to my wants and needs even as they changed and adjusted accordingly. Elaine gave sound advice, made sure all the steps were done on time, connected me to all the right people and lead me through the entire process. I am so grateful to Elaine! - Bernice Gilmore
Townhome Purchase in Kelowna | Jul 2022
This was not our first time buying a property, but this experience was an absolute pleasure ride! From our very first meeting online with Elaine and her team to the day that we received our keys, we had a great experience. She was always available to answer any questions that we had and she ensured that we were aware of any new properties that came on the market that we might have an interest in. She was more than a real estate agent, she was like a friend. We would recommend her and her team to anyone who needs a real estate agent. She was a professional, always courteous and punctual. We give her a FIVE STAR RATING!! She is the best!!! - Stacy Daley
Townhome Purchase in Lake Country, BC | May 2022
Elaine was outstanding to work with - very responsive, incredibly well-informed, flexible, supportive and patient throughout the entire process. It took me awhile to find the right property. I was most impressed with her patience, encouragement and the need to work at my pace. - Corey Z
Home Purchase in Rutland, Kelowna, BC | May 2022
I have been very impressed with Elaine’s approach to helping us find a property that met all our requirements. From our first meeting via zoom ( we don’t live in same town where we purchased) to her identifying appropriate properties to her business model she uses when submitting an offer on our behalf (cover letter and video)! I have never worked with a realtor better than Elaine and I have bought and sold many properties in my lifetime. She helped us find a home inspector, got us quotes on insurance and worked closely with our mortgage broker. Over and above! Our sale had a couple unexpected hiccups and Elaine was right there helping overcome the hurdles and making sure we could close the deal. I highly recommend Elaine and her Vantage West team! - Tamara Van Tent
Townhome Purchase in Lake Country, BC, Canada | Jan 2022
ELAINE! Wow we could not be more happy with having landed with Elaine. We were moving to the Okanagan from Ontario and simply googled realtors back in the fall. Vantage West had all these great reviews here,, we connected through their Contact Us page, and the rest is history. Elaine was always so upbeat, really got to know our needs so that she could advise us. We actually ended up buying out in Lake Country, something that wasn't even on our radar, but Elaine opened our eyes to great options. She was always so responsive when we were in those high action days, always looking after our needs and fitting in virtual showings at her first opportunity while we were remote, and sorting full days of viewings when we came to visit. She is so experienced, and it shows. She really pushed through our deal and we're so grateful to her. If you need an agent in this area, ELAINE GODEGHESI is the one for YOU!!! Thank you Elaine. From Coulson & Jen - Jennifer Hill
Townhome Purchase in North End, Kelowna, BC, Canada | Nov 2021
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 market. When it came time to sign the contracts, she diligently explained each contractual clause, and she negotiated additional conditions on the advice of our lawyer. Overall, it was a great experience and we would recommend Elaine and the team at Vantage West to anyone. - Erin Miller

Home Purchase in Glenrosa, West Kelowna, BC, Canada | Oct 2021
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 obtain 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 into 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! - Jasper Cllinaz
Condo Purchase in Vernon, BC, Canada | Apr 2022
Highly recommend Vantage West Realty! 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! - CE Cousins
Condo Sale in Kelowna, BC | Nov 2021
Elaine 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 at Vantage West 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. - Lorraine Hartnett

Condo Sale in Kelowna, BC | Sep 2021
This is my second time working with Elaine. She made my first time home buyer experience such a positive experience, I didn't hesitate to connect with her again when the time came to sell. My listing was on the market for just four days, another four days the papers were signed - for over asking price! I've recommended Elaine to several friends and family members. Thank you for all your hard work Elaine!! - Leah
Land Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Nov 2021
Elaine respectfully and professionally manoeuvred us through the realities of real estate in the Okanagan. She was very patient with us showing us homes in person when we were in the area and virtually when we were at our home more than 500 km away. We eventually purchased a building lot. Elaine is honest, friendly, hardworking and efficient and we will highly recommend her when the opportunities arise. - Gary & Gloria Knight
Home Purchase in West Kelowna, BC, Canada | Nov 2021
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! - Sergio Rodriguez

Condo Purchase in Kelowna, BC | 2021
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 Howe

I hired Elaine as an out of town investor. She went above and beyond and was super helpful with my purchase.

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 for any future real estate purchases, I can't recommend her enough! - Brody

Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Jul 2021
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! - Samantha Berenbeim
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | May 2021
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. - Darya Huser

Elaine from Vantage West was absolutely 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! - Graham Anderson
Right from the get go, I felt confident and comfortable choosing Elaine to sell my condo. She is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and makes all the legal language understandable. Communication was always accessible and all questions/concerns were handled in a timely manner. - Susan Cavaghan
