I moved to the Okanagan in 2007 to play for the Vernon Vipers Hockey Club, and was a part of the coaching staff for 5 years after I finished playing. After spending several years here, I ending up falling in love with everything the Okanagan has to offer; from mountain biking and wakeboarding in the Summer, to skiing and playing ice hockey in the Winter. I look forward to helping my clients find the perfect property for their lifestyle, whether you’re buying your first home or seeking that dream retirement residence, the experience should be nothing less than seamless. I understand that buying or selling a home can be a stressful transaction, and he looks forward to meeting with each client to understand exactly what their needs and wants are so this experience can be an amazing one! I help my clients navigate the often challenging waters of the home buying and selling process, with the end result only being a wonderful experience. When I’m not busy helping clients, I enjoy spending time with my wife Mallory and son Dawson exploring the beautiful Okanagan.

Kevin is amazing! He is very knowledgeable and professional. He has walked us through everything, we feel extremely taken care of. In the future if we ever have a need for reality, we will be asking for Kevin again for sure! We would also highly recommend Kevin to everyone! - Jessica Highland

Kevin is an incredible realtor. Our buying situation changed alot during our search for a new home including where we were searching. He took time to come all the way to Grand Forks with us to try and find our new home although we finally settled in Vernon. He searched and researched for a home that would work for our situation and he really listened to what my husband and I were looking for. He was very patient and cared most about finding what we needed rather than for a quick buy. - Cristina Reid

Kevin was great, as a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions and he was always there to answer and help me along. He made the process extremely easy for me and made sure I was getting the right place for myself and my needs, as well as confirming that I was comfortable with every step before moving along. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother process and a more professional agent. Highly recommended! - Dawson Chase

Kevin, without a doubt has been the best realtor we have ever dealt with. Most importantly for us was his availability (always) and especially his quick response to any questions (even after hours). He was always keeping us informed as our house was being built and checked on us even after we moved in. Not only was he professional but he was genuinely helping us like a friend. Forever thankful. - Victor L

Kevin was very good to work with. He was on top of every part of the negotiation and provided a lot of much needed background on the property and the region. We actually bought 2 properties in the area and Kevin was instrumental in bringing both deals together. I hope to work with him again one day. His personality and demeanor made it easy to trust him and that made for a very smooth relationship. I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin to any client. - Stan Walt

Kevin was extremely helpful in finding a property for me in the Vernon area. His experience and insight helped a lot in sorting through the various houses on the market. It helped me to avoid those houses that would certainly not have been my choice and helped save time in searching and purchasing my current residence. - Garth Rey
