Fil Strycharek
Personal Real Estate Corporation

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I bought my condo from Fil 5 years ago and contacted him again to sell it! It sold the next day of being posted! I will contact him again when we buy another! - Eden Perry-young

Working with Fil Strycharek and Vantage West Realty was nothing short of an amazing experience. From start to finish, phone calls were returned promptly, questions were answered and we were kept informed every step of the way. Fil is an honest, professional agent, who takes the time to go over every aspect to make you feel comfortable in your decision. Fil is exceptionally personable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would, without hesitation, recommend Fil if you are planning to buy or sell a property. Thank you Fil for making our dream of moving to Kelowna come true. - CC

Selling our house through Vantage West Realty was a very positive experience.  They worked as a team from start to finish.  From the initial meeting with Fil to staging, photos, listing, viewings and presentation of offers, everything went smoothly.  I really appreciated their reference material and checklists as well.  They covered everything.  The house was actively marketed and sold quickly for more than the asking price. Fil Strycharek, our agent, is exceptional.  He provided sound guidance and explained each step of the selling process.  What he projected would happen regarding time frame and selling price was exactly what happened.   Fil is honest, professional, knowledgeable, punctual, as well as being friendly and approachable.  Fil went above and beyond during the selling process and was available even after the sale.  He was there for us every step of the way.  We would highly recommend Fil in particular and the entire Vantage West team. - Deb & Kenton Rasmussen

Buying a home in a hot real estate market can be a daunting task when trying to coordinate everything from out of province. That was exactly the situation we found ourselves in and Fil Strycharek and the team at Vantage West Realty in Kelowna made the whole process seamless for us. Vantage West Realty employs the "Team" approach when addressing their client's requirements. That approach to conducting real estate business really resonated with us as we had specific needs in terms of our budget, local financing options, legal council, and property management services. From the first time we talked to Fil, we knew we found the right realtor. Fil was able to quickly articulate the intricacies of the hot Kelowna market for us while focusing on the neighborhoods and properties that met our search criteria. From the moment the search was underway, the communication from Fil was consistent and nothing but professional all the way through the purchase phase. Fil was able to direct us to all the necessary resources available through Vantage West Realty to assist in tabling a successful offer on a property that met our search criteria and budget. I would highly recommend Fil and the Team at Vantage West Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Kelowna market. - Huntley R Quinn

I highly recommend Fil Strycharek as a realtor. He was professional, personable, and had excellent communication skills right from the first point of contact. His expert knowledge of Kelowna real estate made my process smooth and I felt confident in making an offer. I had success working with him and look forward to working with him again in the future! - Michelle Bajurny

Fil's name and positive reputation precedes him. He was recommended to us by close friends who have bought/sold with him over the past few years. My husband and I are first time home buyers and Fil took the time to provide us with thorough and invaluable advise and market education. His extensive knowledge and experience is equally demonstrated through the support and guidance he provided us during the house hunting process. Fil has an awesome personality and is pleasant to deal with even in times of precarity. I would highly recommend Fil's services without hesitation. Thank you Fil for your hard work and the great outcome you gave us. We can't wait to move in to our new home. - Saher Ahmed

Fil is an incredibly personable and knowledgeable Realtor who spends time educating his clients on the Kelowna market and the intricacies of real estate in general. We ended this process learning so much more than we thought we would have just by speaking with Fil and we found our first home at an amazing price! By the end of our search we felt like we had found a new friend in town as well. We highly recommend Fil's services to any prospective buyer and we will be using him again down the line. - Liam Devine

We had a great experience having Fil help us sell our home! He is very knowledgeable, with not just the market, but the current local real estate market. He gave us all the info we needed (and then some!). He is very professional, and very easy to work with. He is aggressive in his business approach, but not pushy at all. He laid everything out for us in a way that made it very easy to make all of our decisions . He consistently kept us up to date on the progress he was making and was very flexible with helping us book the showings so that our lives were minimally interrupted. He set up the staging consultant, who was amazing, and it wasn't nearly as difficult as we thought it would be to get our house show ready. We definitely recommend him and will absolutely use him again. And their whole office is great as well! - Brenda Baldrey

Fil was excellent no pressure to sell was going to sell in 2020 but meet with Fil decided to wait Fil reached out in January we meet again decided to sell. What I like was commutation constant communication. Fil knows his stuff got top dollar for our home. Will definitely use his services again - Allan & Brenda Baldrey

Fil was really great to work with. He is open and honest and very knowledgeable. He was readily available when we needed him. He was able to help us on a dime and get our unit up for sale ASAP. I would recommend using Fil for selling your next home! - Jessica

The entire process of selling my mom's condo was a positive experience. He provided a lot of valuable information to set an appropriate price. The whole team was helpful - the stager had good advice, the photographer took amazing pictures & video and the office team was timely & accurate. The sale was quick, well negotiated and the details were all handled perfectly. I would highly recommend Fil and work with him again. Responsive, Respectful & Professional. Thank you Fil. - Judy Lauer
