He specializes in luxury sales, first-time purchases, and real estate portfolio management – all while acting as a mentor for new agents in our office. With a background in hospitality management, team building, and training, Fil brings a service mindset to the table that’s won him more office awards than any other Vantage West Realtor, including: · The World-class Award for his positive attitude and unflinching work ethic · The 5-Star General Award for having the most 5-star reviews in the office · The Mastery Award for showing true mastery in real estate · The Lifestyle Award for taking just as good care of himself and his family as he does with his clients Before taking his Peak Producers course and becoming a first-class realtor, Fil managed the bar at Joey’s Kelowna, opened Milestones Restaurants across Canada, and trained staff at one of Kelowna’s top restaurants, Raudz Regional Table. Fil moved to Kelowna from Europe at the ripe age of 1 and still calls the Okanagan home almost 40 years later. When he’s not working, he loves travelling the globe, sampling local wineries and restaurants, and getting outdoors with his wife and two young boys for hiking, beaching, or snowboarding trips throughout the Okanagan.
Fil was a pleasure to work with. Always very professional and someone we really connected with & were able to have fun & joke around with (important for me when buying & selling real estate as it can be high stress situations). He was super knowledgeable and always acted with our best interest in mind. I would highly recommend Fil to anyone looking to sell or purchase a new home! - Jill

Reply: Thanks Dean. So happy we were able to get you sold in this difficult market.
After interviewing a few agents, we decided to hire Fil for the sale of our property. Fil offered good advice on property values in the area (in a depressed market, and also recommended options for listing and selling. Fil advised us that he would first approach some buyers he knew to attempt to sell the property even prior to listing it on MLS. Fil was able to sell the property for a fair price within about 2 weeks, even before it was listed on MLS, saving us considerable staging costs and other headaches associated with showings / open houses etc. Will definitely recommend Fil and his brokerage, Vantage West, to anyone buying or selling in the Okanagan. - Paul Sandhu

I would not hesitate to recommend Fil to anyone looking for a home in Kelowna! His expansive knowledge of the area, along with the time and care he took to understand our needs, led to us finding the ideal home. We worked with Fil remotely during much of our search, and his video walkthroughs and recommendations were invaluable -- and when we were able to visit and tour properties in person, Fil's professionalism and sense of humour made the whole process a pleasure. - RP Kelly

Reply: Thank you Bev. Happy to bring you a couple of offers. It’s always nice to have a couple choices. Lol
Being in the real estate industry myself, I have a level of service I expected, during my own purchase. Fil not only exceeded every expectation I had for him but at every stage in the process surprised me with service I didn't even know would be offered. Fil and his team were so thorough and detailed and always one step ahead of everything, which made the purchase process so enjoyable. Although, I know the home buying process inside and out, I couldn't believe how much I valued being in such capable hands, knowing that I could sit back and every last detail was being taken care of. If you are a First Time Home Buyer or a savvy purchaser, I am confident in saying that Fil and his team are the right fit for you. - Jill Gruen
Reply: Thank you sooo much Jill. You're one of the best Mortgage specialists in the Okanagan! The fact that you chat with Realtors all day long and you choose me and my team to help you purchase an investment for your family was beyond flattering. Thank you for your trust. I can't wait to work with you in the future! - Fil

Phil made it all of my expectations and more. The speed with which he closed the deal was impressive. He also helped that the tenants who have been upstairs for six years continue on as tenants. I would recommend anyone to use fill as an agent. - Jim Thompson
Reply: Thank you Jim. I truly appreciate you putting your trust in me and my team!
Best agent my wife and I have ever had. Very concise, and thorough. Would use again to buy. Unfortunately, we did not go through with a buy due to our jobs being relocated but if we end up in Kelowna again we will use Fil. - Aaron
Reply: Thank you so much for your kind words. I'll be here when you're ready. LOL
Fil is a great realtor to sell your home with. He’s bold and wants to make sure he does right by his clients. Our transaction time with Fil was short and very successful. How every transaction with a realtor should be. - Lillian Jarvis
Reply: Thanks so much for the review and feedback Lilian. Working with you both was amazing! I’m so happy we were able to set a new record in sales price for the development!
We found Fil to be very knowledgeable and personable. We interviewed serval real estate agents before and decided that Fil and his team were the best fit for us. I was nervous coming into the whole process of selling a home and Fil was there every step of the way to ease my stress. I was very happy with his suggestion to to have the house professionally staged. I believe it definitely helped to sell the house. All in all I was extremely happy with his service and would highly recommend Fil and his team. - Melody Torikka
Reply: Thanks so much for your trust Melody. Your home is an absolute gem and it was such a pleasure to work with you!
Fil helped me secure the sale of a house in a very competitive market. His guidance made me feel like we made solid educated decisions regarding the sale. Would recommend. - Nick Adamack
Reply: Thanks Nick! I can’t wait to see the house once you’ve finished the Reno’s. If you need “a guy” for anything I most likely have one, don’t hesitate reaching out. Thanks again.
Best real estate experience I have ever had! It was a real pleasure working with Fil. He was always on top of his game and very responsive to my needs. Fil kept me well-informed, offered sage advice and was very thorough and professional. I am amazed it all went so smoothly! - Barry Kovalske
Reply: Congratulations Barry!! So happy to have been able to help!
Fil was amazing to work with! Due to the pandemic we bought our house remotely from another city across the country. He went to all of the showings we asked for and would take detailed videos with his professional commentary. Additionally since we didn’t know the city, he helped us choose the right neighborhood for our family and after moving here we couldn’t be happier with his advice. He was always respectful & valued us as clients and made the entire process as stress free as buying a house sight unseen could be. We look forward to always working with Fil in the future :) - Geoff N
Reply: Thanks so much Geoff. It was so awesome to welcome you and your family to Kelowna!
We had an amazing experience working with Fil and his team! 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! - Amanda and Josh
Reply: Thanks so much for the review Amanda and Josh! You guys got such an amazing property. I can’t wait to see what you guys do with the home. I’m more excited to try one of Josh’s cocktails!
I found Fil to be very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He is trustworthy and helped me through a difficult time as I had to sell the townhouse I lived in with my deceased husband and find me something smaller to buy. - Melany Jung
Reply: Mel, I can’t thank you enough, for your patience and trust. I’m so happy I could help in that difficult time. I wish you all the best.
Fil and his team have provided excellent service in selling two of our properties and buying our new home. We are particularly impressed by his marketing tactics, and his use of social media channels. - Barrie Stott
Reply: Thank you Barry. I thrilled to see you both living beachfront this Summer!!
I was looking for a investment-focused realtor and I couldn't be more happy with Fil. Fil advised wisely. When a home was a bad investment, he was honest about that. He really cared about my goals and advised accordingly. He was always available for a call and open to discuss. I am just glad I worked with him. I look forward to continue working with Fil in the future. I'd really recommend his services. - Paul Marin
Reply: So happy we found you “The One” and off market!! Congrats on your money maker!!
Fil was professional and dialed in to what we were looking for in our new home. He was very accessible to us. His efforts were superior in helping us find a new home as well as selling our previous home. Fil’s competence is definitely a 10/10! - Connie King
Reply: Thanks so much!! I’m so jealous of your new home! Hopefully you’ll have me up for a glass of wine!
We recently moved to Kelowna from Toronto and had no idea of the city. Fil made us feel at home. He was super patient with us and gave us great recommendations regarding house inspections and transaction. This was the smoothest transaction I have ever been part of because of Fil and team. Fil knows the valley really really well got us the home that meets our needs. We didn't feel that we were working with a salesperson. Fil was consultative and genuinely caring throughout the whole experience. Having zero knowledge of the Kelowna market, we felt 100% confident that we can lean on Fil's expertise to guide us to find the right home at an amazing price in a multiple-bidding market. We didn't have to look for a lawyer, inspector or even a mortgage agent. Fil made the intros to multiple people to find us the right person for the job. It was an amazing home buying experience, and Fil is definitely our Realtor as long as we are in the valley. - Sohaib
Reply: Thanks so much for the review! I'm so glad we were patient and found you the perfect home! I thank you and your family for putting your trust in me and my team!
Fil 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! - Divna C
Reply: It was such a thrill to finally welcome you the best neighbourhood in the Okanagan!
Fil was a very professional and personable agent. He explained the process thoroughly and answered all my questions. Fil was always available to answer questions and keep my stress level I check. He suggested staging and I found that very helpful. I would recommend Fil and his team to anyone. They were all extremely helpful throughout the process. - Linda Baird
Reply: Linda thank you so much for putting your trust in us and allowing us to guide you through this process. I love it when a plan comes together and my clients get the rewards!
Fil is an experience, extremely professional real estate agent. He was a pleasure to work with, patient and very responsive. Fil and his team were amazing throughout the entire purchasing process and made sure every last detail was taken care of. I would recommend Fil to anybody looking for the perfect home! - Mark and Mirjana Snow
Reply: So exciting to get you both the Okanagan! I couldn't be more thrilled to have found a perfect home for you Off Market!
Fil has been working with us for more than a year to find a place. He didn’t give up on us, whenever we called he was willing to help up and if he wasn’t available then he would have his assistant Kristen help us. He gave us true and honest opinion whenever we looked at the homes. When we won the deal his assistant (Kristen) helped us step by step to complete the transaction and we had no issues when it came time to close the deal. This was the first time for us to purchase a home and the level of service was exceptional. Thank you Fil & Kristen. - Rani Grewal
Reply: It was a long journey that I was thrilled to go on with you!
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
Reply: Thanks so much Tamie. We setup the steps but you guys put in the work! It’s always a great feeling when the plan ends it total success. Can’t wait to work with you in the future.
Fil and his team were all so very helpful and great to deal with in a stressful market. Thanks to Kristen also for her patience and hard work. Fil was quick to respond to our many questions and viewing requests. Fil was also helpful with local mortgage brokers. - Geoff Dowson & Angela Webber
Reply: So excited for you both! Thanks so much for the review.
Was a pleasure to work with Fil very professional outstanding to work with. Im very thankful for the effort he put in for me to get my first house would definitely recommend Fil to anybody looking for an agent. Cant wait to work with him again in the future. - Thomas
Reply: Thanks Thomas, so excited for you!
I was referred to Fil by a close friend in Toronto who had work colleagues who used his services. I reached out, and right away was met with professionalism and knowledge. Moving from Toronto I knew very little about the different areas of Kelowna, but Fil was able to give me helpful Pros and Cons for all of them, ranging from the Westside, and Peachland, too Rutland, Downtown and beyond. I would recommend Fil to anyone moving to Kelowna from out of the City/Province as he made me feel right at home, right away. - Anthony Worrall
Reply: I’m was so happy we were able to win in this market. Hope you enjoy the view for years to come!
Our previous Realtor experience trying to sell our house was dreadful - flashy shoes and a nice car do NOT sell houses! The agent only had excuses, not solutions and we eventually took the house off the market. We then interviewed 4 other agents one of whom was Fil. What a breath of fresh air... Expert advice on everything from tidying up to pricing. When our original buyer pulled out we thought we'd be back to where we started but no, Fil and the team had more opportunities lined up and within about 45 minutes we had a new offer - for more money than the original and over asking. Fil and his team were professional and unflappable at every step of the way. - Tim
Reply: Thank so much Tim and Lucy!!! Congratulations on the over list price sale!
