Home Purchase in Mission Hill, Vernon | Jul 2023

Justin was an amazing realtor for our first home purchase. He helped us with many aspects of first-time buyers that we hadn't even considered. He went above and beyond to help us learn about purchasing a home in a new province and had great availability to meet our 3-hour time difference. Several outside agencies (lawyers etc.) made comments about how he had done a good job in getting things ready. He helped us narrow down what we were looking for and guided us in meeting our many deadlines. It was a great experience working with someone who understood the area and buying process. He continues to be very personable and professional. Highly recommend to those in the Okanagan area! - Sarah Clayton

Reply:    It was a pleasure helping you both find home here in Vernon. Thank you for the kind words.

Condo Purchase in Kelowna North, Kelowna | Sep 2025

I first met Justin on August 21st 2025, I told him my criteria and how important they were for me. I was a first time home buyer overwhelm by how many small step there were to complete. Justin made all those step bite sizes manageable! I took possession on September 19th (29 days ). There is zero doubt in my mind that if ever I need a other real estate deal Justin is my first call. To me Justin was more of a teammate than a third party. I highly recommend Justin for any Real Estate transaction you may need. Thank again Justin! I still love my new place. Arno - Arnaud Raymond-Audet

Home Purchase in West Kelowna Estates, West Kelowna | Oct 2025

If you are looking for a top-tier real estate agent in West Kelowna, I cannot recommend Justin Baarts enough. We were looking to purchase a property in the West Harbour community while living out of town, which usually comes with a lot of stress. Justin made the entire process seamless. What sets Justin apart is his deep knowledge of the Okanagan real estate market. We had been searching for a while, and he eventually presented us with a 'hidden gem' that wasn't even on our radar; it turned out to be exactly what we wanted. Since we couldn't be there in person, Justin went above and beyond by navigating all the inspections, required appointments, and due diligence on our behalf. His communication is proactive, and his attention to detail is remarkable. If you are buying a home in West Kelowna. Kelowna or relocating to the area, Justin is the professional you want in your corner. He truly takes the stress out of the West Kelowna/ Kelowna home-buying experience! - Brenda & Steven Baarts

Townhome Purchase in Columbia Shuswap, Sicamous | May 2024

Justin represented my wife and I in a very quick and timely transaction. A rare lakefront listing opened prior to a long weekend. The seller was pushing to collect offers throughout the weekend while we had an expiry for end of day. Justin pushed to get the offer acceptance and avoid a post long weekend bidding war. This required staying nearby to draft the offer immediately after the viewing and cancelling the rest of his day to ensure timely and accurate submission. Would highly recommend Justin due to his professionalism and the sense of urgency we required. - Jarret Luhr

Reply:    I appreciate the kind words. It was so great getting to know you and the family. I know that many family memories will be made here. Enjoy the vacation home!

I wholeheartedly endorse Justin to anyone who needs help buying or selling ! Sincerely, Russ Jones AD Richard Mille Canada - Russ Jones

Home Sale in Predator Ridge, Vernon | Aug 2025

Selling your home can be such a stressful process but Justin lead us in the most thoughtful, no nonsense professional manner. He outlined details from the outset and set up our expectations so we could proceed, eyes open and realistic. It took us a few months to finally commit to listing after our first meeting and we knew he was our realtor. He guided us to a price point and expectations for our specific location, and then set up all the details. Photo session and marketing materials and an added bonus to meet with his colleagues in a major market that may tap into our specific location. We were more confident knowing that he and his associates at Engel & Volkers would be gathering for an internal marketing event and Justin would bring photos and our Home brochure to that group. We will always be grateful for his strategic planning on our behalf. The results speak for themselves. We listed, and expected a long wait. Day two a showing, day 3 and offer and day 4 and accepted deal. Absolutely unheard of in our development. If you want to list your home in the Okanagan Market, don't hesitate to contact Justin Baarts. He exceeded all expectations and we are now on to building in a timeline we could have only dreamed about. Thanks Justin. - Gary Bakker

Reply:    It was a pleasure working with you, Gary, I'm looking forward to seeing your new home once complete.
