When something is right, you know it.
Originally a small town ‘tom boy’ from the Kootenay’s, Steph’s Real Estate knowledge started very early on as her Grandfather was a builder/ developer and her parents were always buying, renovating, renting, selling and showing her that property is not only a place to live but, when done right, a true financial asset with the means to take her wherever she wanted to go.
Steph's true passion for Real Estate was ignited at the age of 19 when she started selling custom homes for the largest builder in Calgary. Young, ambitious, and full of fire, this was the same year she started investing in a real estate portfolio of her own, which has continued to grow and now contains a number of different property types and in different locations.
In 2007 when the Okanagan outdoors called her back to BC, she enjoyed the new challenge of building her business, as a mortgage broker, in a time of economic crisis. Hard work doesn’t scare this girl and she certainly knows how to get the job done.
After being head hunted by the largest Media Company in the Okanagan, she quickly became their top Marketing Consultant specializing in business growth and customer relationships. After five amazing years and working closely with some of the top Real Estate agents, brokerages and developers, to help develop and grow their marketing reach, she could no longer delay the inevitable… Steph just couldn’t give up her love affair with Real Estate and eventually made her way back.
In 2015 Stephanie was fortunate enough to be welcomed into a small boutique brokerage which specialized in investment Real Estate and, in her first year, she gave the top producing agent a run for his money and then took home the “World Class” award. Stephanie truly believes that anything worth doing is worth doing right - the first time.
After taking some time away in 2018 to fulfill a life goal of working in a Real Estate coaching/ leadership role, Steph returned back to what she loves most… working with her amazing clients and helping people turn Real Estate dreams into Real Estate realities.
Steph can now be found at Canada’s Real Estate company, Royal LePage Kelowna, as one of the founding partners of TJ & STEPH Real Estate Group. After forming an organic partnership with TJ Dumonceaux, another high achieving and client first minded agent, they realized that two heads are better than one and they are now working together providing a whole new level of service to all their deserving clients. TJ & STEPH Real Estate Group is not only the recipient of a Red Diamond award, putting them in the top 2% of Royal LePage Kelowna, but in 2020 Steph received the honour of being the #1 rated agent in all of Kelowna and snuck into the top 10 in Canada with the #9 spot.
When Stephanie isn’t busy educating and helping her clients build financial freedom through buying or selling their next property, you can attempt to find her spending time with her amazing family, racing down the mountain on her downhill bike, practicing up on the piano, volunteering at the Kelowna Gospel Mission or hosting a local charity event.
She believes the greatest opportunity investing in real estate allows for… the financial means to truly live your dreams and do what you love.
Steph did an amazing job. We needed a quick turnaround to find the right home to buy so we could port our mortgage during these challenging times for home buyers. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and made sure we didn't waste time viewing properties that wouldn't work for us. Under promised and over delivered when it came time to negotiate with the seller. Would recommend her to friends and family and will call her first if we ever decide to move again. It's not hype there's many good reasons why she is one of the top performing agents in the region. - Griffon March
Reply: Thanks for taking the time to share about your experience Griffon. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and your amazing family as we kicked into high gear in order to find you the right home on your tight timeline. I appreciated your patience and good attitude throughout what must have been a stressful situation for you and I'm so happy that it all came together. Congrats on the new home my friend and looking forward to seeing those renovations as they progress along!
Step was responsive, helpful and professional in all ways. We valued her advice and knowledge of the Kelowna market. It was a pleasure dealing with her and her team. We would recommend her. - Peter Walton
Reply: Peter, it was my complete pleasure going to work for you and Penny again on the sale of your property. Working with good clients who become great friends is one of the many joys of my job and I feel blessed to work with such amazing people, like the two of you. Looking forward to the next one my friend.
Having worked with some of the top agents previously in Kelowna, I can truly say that I had the best selling and buying experience with Steph and her team! Right from the start they guide you through all aspects of the process, really eliminating the stress of selling and/or buying. Top notch negotiating skills, and a true heartfelt, fun atmosphere. Very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate and provide great advice along the way! I can't see myself working with any other realtor in the future besides the TJ + Steph Group! - Ryan Morris
Reply: Ryan, thanks so much for the kind words. Considering your real estate experience and the fact that you have worked with many agents in the past... it means a lot to hear that you were so happy working with me and my team. We had so much fun helping you through the process and I honestly just can't wait to see what you do with your new home and what it transforms into after your renovation is complete. Big things on the horizon for you my friend!
Stephanie was a very thorough, realistic agent who priced our property at a competitive price and helped us sell in record time. I only wish we’d found her earlier ❤️ - Greta Oakes
Reply: Thanks for the kind review Greta. Congratulations on the sale of your property - looking forward to the next adventure together.
So grateful to have had Stephanie's knowledge, experience and, as always, outstanding professionalism and valuable advice in selling our property. It put my mind at ease knowing I could trust her recommendations every step of the way! - Stacey Leahy
Reply: Thanks for the kid words Stacey. It was so wonderful getting to work with you on another real estate adventure. Thanks for putting your faith and trust in me, yet again! Wishing you health, wealth, and happiness for 2023 my friend!
Stephanie is very professional, reliable and knowledgeable. Her and her team answered all of the questions brough forward and got the job done. I would definitely use Stephanie again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor - Cody Schindler
Reply: Congrats on the sale of your property Cody. I had a blast helping you and your team get the home all prepped and photo ready so that we could get some killer marketing materials in order to find you the right buyer within the first couple months on the snowy winter market. Looking forward to working with you again on your next one!
Stephanie's exceptional communication skills won me over within the first few minutes of speaking to her by phone! She was professional and knowledgeable about current market trends. Her thoroughness and attention to detail were outstanding. Stephanie was quick to respond whenever I reached out. She has great negotiation skills and was successful in bringing a previously interested buyer back with the winning offer. She has the ability to make the whole process an enjoyable experience! I would highly recommend Stephanie to represent you in your next real estate transaction! Thanks again Steph and team for your hard work!! :) - Dan Friesen
Reply: Thanks for the glowing review Dan! I am so grateful that you put your faith and trust in me when it came to the sale of your luxury home. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and Mandy as we worked together and not only was I pleased to bring and negotiate you an (almost) full price offer within the first 24 hours but I had a blast doing it! Thanks for following all my advice and giving me the freedom to do what I needed to do to get the job done. Congrats on the sale and all the best on your next adventure.
We found Steph on this website and it’s no wonder she is listed as the top realtor - she helped us with every step of selling our home, including advice on home updates, contractors and staging! Steph knows and understands the real estate business very well, was extremely professional, a great communicator, and was even able to tolerate my husband (thank you for not firing us…I know it was close at times:). Most importantly, she delivered on our #1 priority - get our house sold quickly and for a solid price! Thank you Steph! - Chris and Christy Helmink
Reply: Christy, you are all too kind. Having the opportunity to get to know both you and Chris and go to work for you was truly amazing. I'm so happy I was able to be there for you during this process and I appreciate all the laughs we had together. My only regret is that I didn't get to taste any of that world famous pizza Chris makes. LOL. Congrats again and all the best as you and Chris go back to where it all began.
Steph was an amazing agent! She was so great at communicating and was really informative. She consistently kept us up to date, and really made sure what we were buying was the best fit! I would highly recommend Steph for any real estate needs you have. - Paige L
Reply: Miss Paige! Thanks so much for taking the time to share a bit about your experience working with me. I always love getting to work with new amazing clients, such as yourself, who are referred to me by my other clients who have had a great experience with me. You were such a joy to get to know as worked together and it makes me happy to see you happy as you head into this next chapter of your life. Congrats on your new home! Looking forward to a visit when you're all settled in!
Amazing experience dealing with Steph. Very transparent when it comes down to business and this made the transaction smooth. It was a pleasure dealing with this level of professionalism on every level. Great connections with other services needed to finish the sale on time. Always worked around my schedule, she puts her clients first. I highly recommend using Stephanie for buying and selling. - Alex Franklin
Reply: Thanks for the glowing review Alex. I had such a blast getting to know you through the process of working together and I’m so excited for you as you move on to this next chapter.
She honestly held my hand the entire time when buying my first home. And when things got tough she was there to listen. I never felt more supported in anything in my life. She made a scary experience feel safe and secure. The step by step process made it so much easier. Always available via text and call. Very grateful for her team and her hard work. She even had the house cleaned for me when I got there. Recommending to all my friends. One of the best people you’ll ever meet. - Stephanie
Reply: Wow, Stephanie... you're too kind. I'm honestly so excited that we were able to find and secure you your very first home. Not only it is perfect for you... it's a killer investment that's going to produce huge gains and provide ample opportunity for you down the road. Thanks for being so sweet and easy to work with. Getting to know and assist you has been a true gift.
Stephanie and her crew have been top notch professional and without a doubt would recommend her (and crew) to anyone interested in buying or selling. She responded to our list of needs/wants with listings to view and scheduled them within a couple of days. She provided information about how her and her team operate, what we can expect from them and what they expect from us. It was clean and clear, productive and easy... and oh yeah - FUN - Christa Funk
Reply: Thanks for sharing about your experience Christa. I had so much fun getting to know you and Len and I'm just so happy you were able to give us a GOLD STAR for hitting the target. LOL. Congrats on your new purchase and I'm looking forward to keeping in touch and seeing you again real soon!
As a first time homebuyer Steph made the process much more relaxing and smooth. Her market knowledge and reputation in the industry made for a great experience. Highly recommended. - Hayden Hanson
Reply: Congratulations on your first purchase Hayden! Things couldn't have worked our better seeing how, after practicing some patience, we were able to beat out another buyer to secure the perfect property at such a killer price! I'm so grateful to have been a part of this journey with you.
Very helpful and quick to respond. Went above and beyond. Made the whole process very easy. Great at explaining what was expected from us. Set us up with a great lawyer and home inspector. - Brent Pabsdorf
Reply: Thanks for sharing Brent. Working with you and Melissa to help purchase your very first home was so special for me and I couldn't be more excited for your family. Congrats on your stunning new property.
Steph and her team did a fantastic job with our recent home purchase. She is easy to work with, provides excellent advice, and doesn't miss any details. The entire team was excellent. Highly recommend. - Kimberly
Reply: Thanks so much Kimberly. It was such a pleasure working with you, initially, from afar in order to help you find the perfect home for your families cross country move. I'm so excited to see you all finally here and settled in... welcome to Kelowna!
We live in Saskatchewan and sold our condo through Steph. Steph asked for legal advise regarding our condo. She kept us updated continuously. We did everything from our home in Saskatchewan. Our condo sold within days above asking price. Steph was recommended by our son who also used her services and got over his asking price. Steph also recommend several lawyers to choose from. We went with Roger Mace @(Bryshun Mace Lawyers). He was great as well. To buy or sell property in Kelowna we would definitely choose Steph again! - Ron and Lorna Nickel
Reply: Lorna! Wow, what an adventure we got to go on together! Although I would love to say I always have the answers to everything, it's just not the case which is why I feel so grateful to have such trustworthy professional to refer to when we need great advice. Congratulations on the sale of your condo and thanks for being so great to go to work for.
Stephanie is totally amazing and provides next level professional representation. We worked with Stephanie remotely from out of province, and she managed every detail of our purchase with precision. She was our eyes and ears, and anticipated all our needs. We completely trust her expertise and guidance, and we’re so grateful and happy in our new Okanagan home! - Greg Patterson
Reply: Thanks for sharing about your experience Greg. Working for and getting to know you and you family was so special for me and I'm just so excited I was able to provide a great experience and that you are finally here and settled into your amazing new home. Congratulations! Welcome to Kelowna!
It was a pleasure to work with Steph. She is a terrific realtor with lots of energy, a good sense of humour, easy to talk to and very focused on getting the job done. - Karen and Bruce Armon
Reply: The pleasure was all mine as I thoroughly enjoyed helping you with every aspect of your sale right from helpful staging advise to negotiating top dollar price in multiple offers. I'm so pleased you had a great experience - I had a total blast. Congrats on the sale and best of luck on your next adventure!
Stephanie was a great agent to deal with both on the buying and selling side. She really worked hard for us to meet our needs and answered all of our questions in a timely matter. We would definitely recommended using her to achieve your real estate goals! - Graeme
Reply: What a journey... when you came to me a few years ago with ambitious goals of buying your very first condo and then soon moving up into a family home, I knew we had to find you the right one in order to make it all come together and I'm so happy that's what we were able to do. Fast forward to today... top dollar sale on your first condo and beat out multiple offers to get into your new family home... everything lined up perfectly and I'm so grateful to have been your trusted agent to help guide you through all of this. Congratulations to you and your wonderful family Graeme.
Steph and her team assisted my family with purchasing an investment property. She was professional, knowledgeable and efficient. We were able to lock down a great property that matched our criteria and budget. We couldn’t have done it without Steph’s help! Would highly recommend Steph and her team to anyone looking for a great realtor in the Okanagan area. - Pedram
Reply: Pedram, I appreciate the kind words. It was my pleasure to go to work for your family and I'm so excited about the new addition to the real estate portfolio. Thanks for being so great to go to work with and for.
I worked with Steph over a 4 month period, where she expertly guided me through: - finding the perfect home for my next chapter when I had no idea what I wanted. - expertly negotiated my offer in a crazy market, with my offer being accepted!! - helped me get my home ready for listing. - got me an excellent offer within a few hours of listing, the deal was closed! - supported me through the process of the move and settling into my new home! Steph was amazing, every step of the way. Her attention to detail was unbelievable, I am so thankful she was my realtor through this journey and recommend her without reservation. - Rita Ireland
Reply: Rita, I feel so blessed that you chose me as your agent to help guide you through this challenging yet exciting chapter in your life. The home sale and purchase process went almost just as I had hoped and expected but what I wasn't expecting is just how close we would become as we worked together. You truly are an exceptional lady.
Hands down the most amazing real estate agent! She is so organized and on top of everything. I’ve bought a few houses before and this was by far the most smooth and stress free process. Highly highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. - Danielle
Reply: Thanks for sharing your kind words Danielle. It always makes my little real estate heart happy to hear that I've had a positive impact on my amazing clients. I thoroughly enjoyed going to work for you and your family and I'm looking forward to seeing that renovation when it's done.
This was my 2nd transaction with Stephanie and again she outdid herself .... She got me the best price possible....Stephanie is outstanding. She will not let you down. Thanks again for all your hard work. - JEANNINE DAGENAIS
Reply: Jeannine, it's been my pleasure working with you as your trusted Real Estate Agent. I'm so pleased that we were able to get you such a great price for your condo and with the closing dates you required in order to make your move as smooth as possible. Looking forward to keeping in touch, even though it will now be from afar. You will be missed my friend.
Steph is an absolute pleasure to work with! Her and her team are hands down the best real estate team in Kelowna. She is very professional and knowledgeable with outstanding negotiation skills. Being new to Kelowna, she took the time to get to know us, what we were looking for and educated us about different neighbourhoods. We purchased our property in March when Kelowna housing market was very competitive and got an accepted offer among 20 other offers. I couldn’t recommend her enough! You wouldn’t be disappointed working with Steph and her team! - Nasim. N
Reply: Wow, thanks Nasim! I thoroughly enjoyed going to work for you during the craziness of the busy market and I'm sincerely so happy to hear you’re enjoying your new investment property. Thanks for being such an amazing client who has become an even better friend.
Hello fellow homeowners! I previously posted after the sale of our condo, and now have moved into our new home. We stood outside our new home chatting with Steph about how everything was perfectly timed for us. It doesn’t always happen that way! I honestly cannot say enough praise for Steph and her team. I just know you will not regret it if you choose to work with her! There’s a reason she’s rated #1! - Serena and Randy Young
Reply: Thanks for sharing about your experience working with me Serena as I had such a blast getting to know you and Randy. The joy of getting to help such great people like the two of you is exactly why I work so hard and do what I do. Congrats on the sale of your condo and on the purchase of your stunning new home!
Steph Ostash has been my agent for almost 2 years, and I have nothing but great things to say about her. I've worked with other agents and the level of service she provides is far beyond anything else I've experienced. Steph and her team are extremely organized, which provides assurance that all aspects of the purchase or sale are being taken care of. If you are seeking a true professional, I highly recommend Steph Ostash. - Stirling Grassick
Reply: Stirling, first off congrats on yet another amazing purchase and addition to your growing portfolio; I can't wait to see the full renovation when it's done. Thanks for not only being a loyal client but for bringing your eye for detail, analytical brain, and sense of humour to every project we work on together. We've encounter some big "real estate firsts" together with all the interesting adventures we have encountered and I'm looking forward to many more my friend.
Steph deserves every part of the 5 star rating and more. We thought our Vancouver realtor was top notch but dealing with Steph and her team has been another level. From our initial consultation regarding our move, to key handover, Steph has been professional, diligent, meticulous and an absolute pleasure to work with. She made negotiating a crazy market a simple and straight forward process, thank goodness! - Clare Marriott
Reply: Thanks for taking the time to leave such kind words Clare. I thoroughly enjoyed going to work for you and your family during our mission to find you not only the right home, but at the right price during the peak of the hectic market. I'm just so excited for this next chapter in your lives as I have a feeling your family is going to love it here. Welcome to the beautiful Okanagan!
Steph was wonderful to work with. We were moving to Okanagan from Ontario and despite the distance, she made the purchase of our new home very easy and enjoyable from the start. Would recommend Steph to anyone looking for a great realtor! - Jennifer Roué
Reply: Jennifer, I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience working together and that you are happy and settled in your stunning new home. It can often be a challenge for a buyer to make a purchase from afar so I'm grateful I was able to help you navigate though the real estate waters.
Steph was professional in all respects regarding this sale of my townhouse in Kelowna. She was prompt and efficient, and the townhouse sold at a good price even before it was formally listed! Great work! - Bill Helmus
Reply: Thanks for the lovely review Bill. I thoroughly enjoyed going to work for you and I'm happy we were able to navigate the challenges that came along with selling a tenanted property in order to get you top dollar.
Stephanie was great to work with on our recently purchased condo in downtown Kelowna. Very professional and personal, she made us feel very comfortable with the purchase and helped us every step of the way right until we took the keys. We trust Steph and her team 100% as we have already referred her to friends recently and one has already made a purchase. We will be definitely working with Steph again on a future purchase. - Glenn & Joanna Pryor
Reply: Congratulations on your awesome new purchase Glenn and Joanna, and thank - you for being so wonderful to go to work with and for. I'm so pleased we were able to find you the perfect investment property and I'm looking forward to the next one!
Stephanie is literally the best agent. We have experienced several realtors in our buying and selling history but none have delivered an experience the way Steph has. She honestly became part of our family during the sale of our home and we trusted her completely. She listened to us and gave us the best advice and strategy for selling our home. Stephanie is a master strategist and negotiator. I can't state this enough. She brought us several amazing offers and negotiated a price for our home that was significantly over asking. Her work didn't stop after we have an accepted offer either. Steph even gave us advice on finding a new agent in the province we were moving to and has welcomed any and all questions we have for her even after our transaction was complete. Work with Stephanie and you will NOT be disappointed. Matter of fact, you'll be wow-ed with the experience she is able to provide, it is a clear cut above the rest. - Holly
Reply: Holly, thank-you for the glowing review. It was such a pleasure helping you and your family through the sale of your home as you move on and into the next chapter of your lives. Thanks for allowing my to be a part of your journey.
Selling with Stephanie was top notch in every way. She spent lots of time with us, was extremely responsive, provided recommendations for good contractors and services, made these connections for us, and conducted very successful negotiations. The marketing steps were excellent. Her staging advice was invaluable. A true full-service professional! - Adrienne Nolan
Reply: Adrienne, thank - you for taking the time to share about your experience working together. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you in order to get your home sold and it was so much fun assisting with the purchase of your new condo for your daughter. I appreciate you and your support.
Stephanie and TJ made listing and selling our condo a breeze. We will never use another agent as we greatly appreciate their professionalism and understanding of the market/area. They go above and beyond to provide excellent service to their clients. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. They take the stress out of navigating the realistate market. - Sabrina Lukkarinen
Reply: Thanks for the awesome review Sabrina. It was such a great experience helping you and Jason make a killer purchase a couple years ago then helping you turn around and sell that same property for a nice "little" return on your investment. Always a pleasure working with and for the two of you, until the next one!
After using a real estate agent last year whom my sister recommended, my husband and I decided to change. I found Steph on this website! After a quick phone call I knew she was “the one” and my husband jokes and says she’s my favourite person. All intros aside, Steph is highly knowledgeable about the market and can guide you through making those stressful decisions with the when and how to list your property. I don’t often give 10/10, gold star, top dolla ratings - but you won’t regret working with Steph and her team! - Serena and Randy
Reply: Wow, Serena from our first call I also knew we would be fast friends and I was right. Working with you and Randy has been so amazing as not only do you diligently follow every piece of advise I give, making my job so much easier, but you two bring elements of humour and lots of laughs into every meeting. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of both your real estate journey and your life.
Our experience with Steph and her team for the sale of our house was outstanding! Of our years of buying and selling homes this was our best experience yet. Not only does Steph provide top notch skills, knowledge and professionalism but her follow up and communication were excellent. We highly recommend Steph and her team! - Kiri Glen
Reply: Kiri, wow! Considering how experienced you are in the real estate world, it makes me so happy to hear that this has been your best experience so far. I felt honoured that you chose me, of all agents, to be your Kelowna agent and I'm so glad this all came together for you. Best of luck to you and Joel on your new, but familiar, next adventure.
Stephanie is without a doubt the top real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. She is highly knowledgeable, professional and very responsive, keeping me in the loop during all stages of the selling process. I honestly feel that choosing her to represent me on the sale of both my properties was the smartest decision I could have made. She maximized my return on both deals, and truly went above and beyond to make the process as stress free and enjoyable as possible. I have already recommended her to all my family and friends that are considering buying or selling in the Okanagan. Stephanie is a true asset to her profession and I am beyond grateful for all of her help! - Tim Muise
Reply: Tim, thanks for putting your trust in me, from afar, and giving me the freedom to do what I do. It was such a pleasure working with you and I’m so happy that through all our hard work and help from the rest of my preferred partners and team (Gaby at Zaga home staging etc) we were able to get your properties picture perfect and sold for top dollar. Enjoy the beach my friend, you earned it.
Stephanie has been great to work with from start to finish. Her knowledge of the local ares, transparency on property quality, relationship with other agents and assistance has been paramount in purchasing our first home in Kelowna. Without Stephanie, we would still be searching for our first home. I could not recommend Stephanie enough as an agent! - Tony Moore & Kyla Villabona
Reply: Tony and Kyla! Wow, what pleasure it has been to assist you with your journey from Ontario to the beautiful Okanagan. It was an interesting journey getting here but in the end I truly believe you found the perfect location and home for your growing family and I can't wait for you to be all settled in. Thanks for putting your faith in trust in not only me, but in my team. Congrats guys!
Stephanie just helped my wife and I buy a house in Lake Country. I have purchased a number of properties during the course of my life and I have never had a better agent than Stephanie. She is competent, professional, approachable, and very nice to work with. I have also never received such support in all aspects of purchasing a home. Stephanie's team is equally talented. Stephanie also provided us recommendations on lawyers, house inspectors, mortgage brokers, and contractors for some renovations we would like to do. If you are going to use a realtor, you might as well use the best. That is Stephanie. - Mike Stefanelli
Reply: Mike, thank - you for taking the time to share about your experience. I'm so excited for you and Brenda and can't wait for you to get moved and settled into your spectacular new Okanagan home. Congratulations!
Stephanie is an absolute joy to work with. She is attentive, educated, and highly professional. Stephanie was always quick to respond and checked-in regularly along our process of buy a home. With her extensive knowledge and expertise, I would recommend Stephanie to anyone buying or selling a home. - Hannah Sheret
Reply: Congratulations on your amazing new home Hannah. I'm just so happy that this all worked out for you and Steven as I know there are many great memories to be had!
Stephanie (and her team) are my go to people for all things real estate AND advice or referrals related to investing in property - rental prices and the rest! I just love working with her. Not only is she the most positive person I do business with, but the most responsive realtor I can think of! He refreshing focus coupled with her kind and super calm but energetic demeanor makes her a dream to work with. There just seems to be nothing she won't do to ensure I get what I need! Thanks again Stephanie for a super quick and easy sell on my investment property! - Lori Pierson
Reply: Lori, wow, thank-you for your kind words. It has been so great getting to know you over the years as we work together on your real estate portfolio and needs. Thanks for being an amazingly loyal client and now, also, a wonderful friend. I appreciate you big time.
Stephanie is a top tier agent. She is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about her clients. I’ve recommended her to all of my friends because I know she’s the best at what she does! - Bahar
Reply: Bahar, thanks for the kind words. I have thoroughly enjoyed being your real estate consultant and being a part of your journey. Thank - you for sharing about your experience working with me and trusting me to take care of your friends and family the same way I take care of you.
Stephanie and TJ were simply amazing to work with. She helped me and my wife purchase our dream home in Kelowna. She didn't pressure us at all, was exceptionally patient, and unbelievably on top of everything. We've already told Stephanie and TJ that we'd be more than happy to refer them to any and all of our friends that are looking to either buy, or sell a house in Kelowna. Given how competitive Kelowna's housing market is, we really don't think we could have navigated it without the support, guidance, and experience of Stephanie and TJ. - Ken and Padma
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Ken and Padma. I know it's often hard to find the right home when you're not physically present to do the viewings so I appreciate the amount of trust you put in myself and my team in order to get the job done for you. Congrats on your stunning new luxury Okanagan property; Your family is going to make many amazing memories together!
I highly recommend Steph. She has great communication skills and excellent knowledge of the buyer/seller process. She makes the transaction a simple, fluid experience. Steph's business partner TJ was readily accessible when Steph was away and therefore they make for an organized team to do business with. - Adrian Kurz
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Adrian. It was a pleasure helping you out with your pre-sale investment purchase and we're looking forward to getting another great property to add to your growing portfolio.
Never had a bad experience with Stephanie, she has always had my best interest at heart when helping us when we sold and bought a new place. She is always very transparent, which is not easy to find with a Realtor. Would highly recommend her to anyone I know. - Valerie Bossley
Reply: Thanks for the glowing review Val. It was such a pleasure helping you buy your first condo and then later being able to sell that same condo to help you make a move up into your awesome new home. I’m so happy for you and Shae and all the milestones you’re accomplishing and thanks for being such an amazing and loyal client and friend.
Stephanie is delightful to work with. She is very knowledgeable and personable. She listened to what I was looking for and made adjustments as necessary. I will choose to work with Stephanie in the future . - Jacqueline L Macpherson
Reply: Jacquie, thanks so much for the lovely review. You were such a joy to work with and get to know and I'm looking forward to being your real estate consultant and friend for life.
She is excellent with all the details and contracts and always there when I needed her or had questions . Super pleasant and personable ! Made the move much less stressful! - Noreen Spanell
Reply: Thanks for the kind words and for being such an amazing and loyal client. It was such a pleasure helping you get your previous home sold as we found and got you moved into your awesome new townhome. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your real estate journey Noreen!
She provided us numerous options and pivoted when we needed. She is professional and has her clients' best interest in mind! We would love to work with her in the future. - Rita Stanojevic
Reply: Thanks for taking the time to share about your experience working together. I know we had some initial hurdles to overcome but I’m so glad that we were able to make some changes, find solutions, and get you your perfect build site for your Okanagan dream home.
I was referred to Stephanie through a friend of mine. I was blown away with her professionalism, promptness and knowledge. I can not thank her enough for a such a pleasant buying experience. - Aman Heran
Reply: Aman, it makes me so happy to know that you are happy. Congrats on acquiring a killer Okanagan investment property and looking forward to working together again soon!
Stephanie is knowledgeable, professional and a very good communicator. She takes full accountability and is honest in all of her business arrangements. I would, without hesitation, ask Stephanie to assist me in all new real estate acquisitions and sales. - Thomas Hoffman
Reply: Thanks for the awesome review Tom. I have thoroughly enjoyed working for and getting to know you over the years and I look forward to continuing to be your trusted real estate advisor for life.
Stephanie took the time to understand the key elements of the home I was looking for. This was important to me because I was moving in from another area and wasn’t readily available to look at some of the possible homes in person. I didn’t actually see the home I did purchase, but Stephanie’s meticulous video walk-through and guidance made me feel confident with my decision to forward an offer and I couldn’t be happier with my new home! - Angie Caughy
Reply: Angie, I’m just so happy that we found you the perfect home to settle into as you start this next chapter of your life. Thanks for putting your faith and trust in me. Congratulations on your move!
Steph is amazing!! We had limited time to view houses, coming from the lower mainland and she got us in every house we wanted to see. She found us our dream home in one weekend and an accepted offer within a day or two. She goes the extra mile and has helped us in so many ways other than real estate, she cares for her buyers in ways we have never experienced before (finding us a family doctor, checking in to see how we are doing, etc). I would recommend Steph to everyone I know in a heart beat. - Ashley Klein
Reply: Ashley, going to work for you and your family was truly such a joy. You are such great people and I’m so glad I was able to help you achieve your dream of moving to and owning property in the Okanagan. Looking forward to helping you make your next move really soon!
I had tried selling my house with two other agents and have had a terrible experience with both of them. I was very lucky that I came across Stephanie's profile and I called her. Stephanie restored my trust in the realtors, I don't have words to explain how amazing Stephanie is, she is professional, knowledgeable, sincere, honest, and a great person overall. I recommend Stephanie to everyone I know, and for sure I will not use any other realtor. Whenever I buy or sell in Okanagan and/or wherever else Stephanie works, she will be my realtor. Thank you very much Stephanie for being you! - Sajjad Ali
Reply: Sajjad, I truly appreciate your kind words. I know I was asking for a lot of trust when I told you that a major property overhaul needed to be done. I had a total blast choosing all the new interior colours, and overseeing the updates to ensure they were exactly what we wanted/ needed in order to get your home sold within the first 24 hours on the market and for top dollar. I know it was quite a process but I'm glad I was allowed to sit in on your strata's AGM (not something a realtor commonly does. LOL) in order to convince them to allow us to cut a window/ add a 4th bedroom to your property - as you know, this added huge value to the home. Thanks for being so great to work with and for... not only have you become a loyal client but a really great friend.
Stephany and her team where the most professional realtors we have ever dealt with having bought and sold several of homes in the past. Their attention to detail when crafting the offer was impressive. - Arthur Davis
Reply: Thanks for sharing Arthur. I know when we first met a few years ago, you were interested in making a move but I really felt the timing wasn't right so I'm glad you were able to hold off and wait for the market to come around to a place where you could really capitalize on the sale of your property. It's been so great getting to know you as we worked together through this process and I can't wait to come celebrate with you when the sale is closed and done.
We thought Stephanie and her team were very professional and helpful. We have bought and sold several homes over the years and Stephanie and her team were the best realtors by far. - Ronaye Davis
Reply: Ronaye, thank - you for the kind words. It was such a pleasure helping you navigate todays tricky market as we negotiated $25k over asking for your current home, then $25k under asking on your new home... all while lining up the dates so you can easily move from one home to the next. I know you had a lot of fears and concerns around selling and then not being able to find the right home to move to so thank - you for putting your faith and trust in me and allowing me to make all of this come together for you. Congratulations and I can't wait to come visit when you're all settled into your amazing new place!
Steph was an absolute rock star who helped us buy our beautiful home in Kelowna as out of town buyers. She educated us on everything we needed to know about buying – from the market to the best neighbourhoods and everything in between. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire process – even down to the smallest, most thoughtful details - and made us feel very confident in our decision. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody buying or selling. - Teresa Tufts
Reply: Teresa, thanks for taking the time to leave such a glowing review about your experience working together. I am so thrilled that we were able to secure your dream home for you from afar. I know it takes a lot of trust to purchase a home sight unseen but the look on your faces when you got to see your amazing new property, for the very first time, on possession day was priceless. I just know that you and your expanding family will be so happy here. Congratulations lady!
Steph is an incredible real estate agent who helped our family buy a home that met our needs. What I appreciated most about Steph was her honesty and she would be open about her thoughts on each property which was extremely valuable for us as we were moving to a new city. She probably could have sold us on a home sooner that wasn't a good fit but Steph never pressured us and she was incredibly patient with us as we navigated through a crazy market. We ended up with a home in a great location and for a price that we feel was good value. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Steph again for my next real estate transaction. - Ian Pollard
Reply: Ian, thanks for the kind words. Good things come to those who wait and this is certainly true for you and your family. I'm so excited to see you not only get your foot in the booming Kelowna market but to have made a smart purchase that will produce great returns down the road. Congratulations my friend.
Can't say enough positive things about Steph. She is an absolute professional. Always quick to respond and assist with any and all issues on a very complicated/complex deal - even when they were clearly beyond the scope of her required services (many times). Steph won our loyalty and we wouldn't even consider using anyone else for buying or selling a property in the future. - Mike Howarth
Reply: Mike, yes, we certainly did have a number of hurdles to overcome in this truly unique and complex Real Estate purchase, however, we did it and I couldn't be more excited for you and your family. A huge congratulations - can't wait to come for a visit to the new and improved Ranch.
Very professional and incredibly thorough agent. Probably the most thorough agent I have ever dealt with. Her bright and cheery attitude made all our transactions extremely pleasant. Stephanie meticulous attention to detail makes her stand out from all the rest. Thank you for all your help. - Daren Wilson
Reply: Daren, I'm so happy that we were able to secure the perfect summer vacation rental property for you and your family. I Had so much fun going to work for and getting to know you guys... looking forward to working together again soon my friend.
Steph and her team were simply amazing and a pleasure to work with! She was always available to answer questions, provided helpful advice throughout the full on renovation and made the overall process of selling my property fun and easy. Hats off to Steph for he patience through the renovation that took longer than expected but that sold for over the asking price. She will be my first choice for purchasing my next property in the not too distance future. Thanks again for everything Steph! - Trevor Zacharias
Reply: Thanks for sharing about your experience working together Trevor! It was such a pleasure working with you over the last few years to ensure your home was renovated in a way that would appeal to the massed and garner a top dollar offer. I'm so happy for you and excited for your next adventure.
Stephanie was amazing to work with! She was extremely fast in response times and got things done when we asked her for info and requests. She will work with you on anything and is extremely knowledgeable in her field of work. We were told about her through a family member and would recommend her to anyone else! Highly, highly recommended! - Orland Bramsleven
Reply: Orland, it was such a joy to go to work for you and Tahnee on the purchase of your first home. The look on your faces on the day of possession is what I truly live for. Can't wait to come for a visit when you're all settled in!
Couldn't have been happier with Steph and her team! Her professional approach and great communication made the process very smooth and easy. I look forward to working with her again on my next purchase. - Thomas Staron
Reply: Thomas, it was so great going to work for you on your awesome Okanagan investment property. Thanks for being so easy to work with and for and for already sending more business my way. I appreciate your business, I appreciate your referrals, and I truly appreciate you. Looking forward to delivering the same amazing service and results to your business partner, as I did for you! :)
I can not express how great Stephanie is. She has always gone above and beyond to make a home buying experience memorable and easy. Stephanie is very knowledgeable and above and beyond professional. - Dan Covelli
Reply: Dan, it was such a pleasure to assist you in yet another Real Estate purchase. With the inventory being tight, I know we had to practice but I'm so happy we found and scooped up a great opportunity for you. Thanks again for being so fun and easy to work for. You're a true gem.
Stephanie kept us on track during a very crazy housing market. Her advice to drive around different neighborhoods was crucial, as we were new to Kelowna. Her professionalism and genuine niceness make her a pleasure to work with. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found her. - Faith Toole
Reply: Thanks for the lovely review Faith. It was so great getting to know you and Brian and I'm so happy we were able to find the perfect home and community for you and then negotiate a great price on top of that. Congratulation on your new home and move. Looking forward to coming to see the renovations when they are done.
We recently worked with Stephanie to sell our revenue property. Having purchased our home with her we have come full circle being both a buyer and a seller with Stephanie. We found Stephanie to be professional, knowledgeable and transparent in both of our transactions. Both our purchase and our sale had somewhat unique conditions and variables that Stephanie did an excellent job of navigating for us. She gave us good advice and guidance and was supportive and respectful even when our decisions were not in alignment with her recommendations. She really works with you. Her advice in staging our house was good and although it was a challenge to initially wrap our heads around the expense we felt it was totally worth it and paid off. The stager she recommended did an amazing job and our house looked magazine worthy. She helped us work through challenging communications during our reno and was always there to help and have our backs. She did a fantastic job and really worked with us and the complexity of our sale. I would recommend using Stephanie to my friends and family. - Cindy Mooney
Reply: Cindy! Congrats again on the sale of your property. Yes, we certainly had some challenges and unique variables to navigate but I'm just so happy that this all came together for you and your family so that you can move onto your next adventure. Thanks for being such an amazing loyal client and friend.
Stephanie is an incredible agent and individual. We definitely made the right choice in using her services to purchase our home. She was patient, thoughtful, and professional throughout the entire process. She will be our go to agent for years to come. Thank you Stephanie and team : ) - Kurt
Reply: Wow, thanks Kurt. I had such a blast getting to know you, Nicole and Charlie throughout this adventure together. Looking forward to what the future hold for you and your family!
Thanks again Steph! We really can’t find enough adjectives to cover this lady's skills and energy when it comes to dealing with our real estate needs. We have used for both buying and selling. Most recently, we sold an investment property and we feel confident that all our needs and best interests were met if not exceeded with Stephanie. I would and do recommend her to all my friends! If you are looking for someone who pays attention to every detail, she is the lady for you! - Connie Dack
Reply: Awe, Connie you are too kind. It was so great working with you, yet again, on another Real Estate transaction. Thanks for being such an amazing loyal client and friend.
We were put in touch with Steph through a mutual friend of ours when we started seriously considering our move out to the Okanagan. It became clear to us right away that we had picked the right person for the job. Steph is an incredibly personable and kind individual who invested so much time and energy in us and our search. She worked so incredibly hard to make our dream of living in the Okanagan a reality, even when it felt impossible. Steph went way above and beyond to find us our first home, as we had to rely on her more than ever due to us living in a different province. She did numerous video tours, gave us her honest opinion on all the homes, and knew exactly what we were looking for and what was going to work for us. We are so grateful for all her hard work and determination to get us out to our dream location. If we could give her 10 stars we would, she's just that amazing. - Keegan & Alyssa
Reply: Congrats on your first home my friends! I feel so blessed that our paths crossed and I had the honour of playing a major role in your real estate and life journey. You two deserve nothing but the best and I couldn't be happier for you. Here's to many great memories ahead.
We met Steph through friends who had bought their land with help from Steph. One of the first offers we placed was in multiple offers on Easter Sunday and Steph worked with us the whole day trying to get the deal done. Steph is very driven and wants to make sure the deal gets done. Even though we did not get Easter Sunday property we got the next one. - Jerry Avila
Reply: Jerry, it was such a pleasure working with you and Marijana to help you make a purchase from afar. Although we didn't get the first property we offered on, sometimes things happen for a reason as was the case here. Congratulations on the purchase of your amazing new home site in Peachland. there were man fine details for our team to sort out for you but it all came together and TJ and I can't wait to see the finished product when everything is done and built!
Stephanie Ostash and TJ Dumonceaux were very informative and helpful in the process of selling our home. I will absolutely be going with this team for all of my future real estate endeavours and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced, motivated team to assist them in theirs. - Megan
Reply: Megan, it was so great going to work for you in order to get a quick top dollar sale. We feel grateful that you put your faith and trust in us and we look forward to being your trusted Real Estate consultants for life. :)
Steph is a hardworking, positive, compassionate, and results oriented professional. We sold and bought a place with the guidance of her. It was a difficult time to buy a place in the Okanagan but she guided us and supported us with due diligence. She was always there for us and resolved any problems (renovation, staging, moving, plumbing, etc). Ultimately, she made our dream house happen. I would recommend Stephanie to any of my friends and family as she truly cares about her clients and does the best for them. - Rajshree
Reply: Raj, so happy to have assisted you with the sale of you current home and purchase of your amazing new dream home. I know we had some hiccups and stressful situations to deal with but I'm so happy I was there to successfully navigate you through them. Congrats! Couldn't be happier for you.
Stephanie is a very knowledgeable, caring and organized realtor. Her level of knowledge of the market and professionalism really impressed me. She is a great negotiator as well. I strongly recommend her. - Lil
Reply: Thanks for the amazing review! I always love to hear that my clients are happy and would recommend me to their friend and family.
We appreciate Stephanie's hard work for selling our place & to find our dream home . She is very diligent . She is caring and explains everything clearly(EX: Offers, Home Inspection, mortgage, lawyer). When I was stressed, provided support which gave me the strength to move along the process . She took care of everything. Even after moving she is in the loop and makes sure if everything is okay and helps us. Very professional. Highly recommended. - Sutha
Reply: Sutha! Congratulation on the sale of your condo and purchase of your AMAZING new lake view home! I know this was your first time going through this process and I'm so happy I was able to make all of this happen for you. Thanks for taking all my advice and putting your faith and trust in me. Looking forward to visit when you're all settled in.
Working with Stephanie could not have been a better experience. Stephanie truly went above and beyond with helping organize some simple updates and staging prior to listing. We were out of town sellers and Stephanie made this part of the sale exceptionally seamless. I feel every aspect of our sale was well thought out to ensure we got top value for our place. We are so grateful we had her expertise on our side. We will absolutely be using her again. - Meghan Rogers
Reply: Meghan, it was such a pleasure going to work for you on the sale of your condo and I'm so happy we were able to get you a quick top dollar sale. Thanks for putting your faith and trust in myself and my team. Wishing you all the best. :)
Stephanie is amazing, She is not only very professional, she is thoughtful, acts with integrity and we trusted her 100% with our move. Her knowledge and experience of the local area is extensive, she listened to our needs and requirements and then was able to advise us on certain areas and gave us strategies in order to simplify and maximize our search. Once we found our home, Stephanie continued to provide above and beyond information and support to make the buying process easy and stress free. Thanks Stephanie, we truly appreciate everything you did for us! - Karen meller
Reply: Karen, thanks for the kind words. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and your family and I'm just so excited for you to all be settled in your amazing new Kelowna home and community.
Steph was absolutely amazing from start to finish on both the buying and selling side. Her knowledge of the market and insight to staging our home were crucial to our smooth transition to our new home. Thanks very much Steph, you'll be our first call for our future real estate plans. - Jeff Cundy
Reply: Jeff, thanks for putting your faith and trust in me, taking all my best advice, ad being so great to work with. I'm so pleased with how everything tuned out and that you are Lauren got top dollar on the sale of your home and a great deal on your amazing new estate home. Looking forward to a visit when you two are all settled in. :)
We have dealt with Stephanie many times and each sale or purchase of our properties have gone very smoothly as well quickly which is what you hope for. Steph is always on the ball and prepared to get the deal done at any time. Always a success when you have Steph representing you. - Chris william Belton
Reply: Chris, it's always a pleasure working with you on all your many real estate adventures and congratulations on your most recent acreage purchase. This one happened fast and I'm glad we were able to be there in a flash to bring everything together for you before anyone else had the chance to even get inside. Thanks for being a loyal client and friend. Appreciate you buddy. :)
Our experience with Stephanie was 100% positive. She is professional and knowledgeable. We feel very fortunate that she was recommended to us, and we love our new home. - Lisa Hudson
Reply: Lisa, so glad this all came together for you. It was such a pleasure getting to know you and congrats on your spectacular new home.
Where do I start with this wonderful Human ! She is everything you would ever want in a Real Estate agent and then some ! Witty, kind, hard working and ALWAYS on the ball! A true Gem in this industry - Julie Fisher
Reply: Julie, you are too kind. Thank - you for the opportunity to go to work for you and Dairn yet again and all the best on your new adventure.
Stephanie was recommended to us from someone who did not actually close a deal but thought very highly of her. We met via computer to determine our wants to which she prepared a number of showings when we were able to schedule a trip from out of province. We originally wanted a condo but changed focus to a house. We picked one within a day and got our agreement with the sellers in a few short weeks. She was very accommodating and easy to deal with. As we were dealing on everything by phone and computer she was very responsive and easy to get answers from. Would and have recommended her to others. - Kelly Hudson
Reply: Kelly, I'm just so happy at how all of this turned out for you and Lisa as I know that making a purchase from out of province can be daunting at first. Congratulations on your amazing new property. Welcome to the beautiful Okanagan!
Steph was absolutely great. She is very intelligent and approachable. Steph answered all of our questions in great detail and gave excellent advise. Steph helped us find a perfect new home and sell our old home flawlessly. You can't go wrong working with Steph. - Daniel Paul
Reply: Thanks for sharing a bit about your experience Dan. I throughly enjoyed working with you and Maddie and couldn't be happier about how everything turned out. Congrats to the two of you not only on your new home, but on all the exciting events that are in your near future.
We have connected with Stephanie through friends who recommended her. We are out of town buyers, from Ontario and bought the property without seeing it. However, Stephanie addressed all our concerns and answered all the questions we had, and made us feel 100% comfortable. We have worked with many agents over the years, but in our experience, Stephanie was the most professional, organized and responsive agent we could ever ask for. We'll recommend her to anyone wishing to buy or sell, as she will provide them with the best service. - ILdiko Kronovitter-Hamilton
Reply: Thanks for this Ildiko as it really means the world to me. It's always special for TJ & STEPH Real Estate Group when we get to help amazing people who can't physically be here as it takes a certain level of trust that we feel humbled by. Congrats on being an Okanagan property owner! Exciting stuff!
Stephany and her team were amazing. They provided us with excellent service start to finish. She is very knowledgeable and is a highly skilled professional. We are so happy to have worked with her. Start to finish she had every detail worked out well in advance. We are so grateful to have worked with such an amazing agent. Best service in the business by far. You would be crazy not to work with Steph and her team. - Brittney Ann Vienneau
Reply: It was such a privilege going to work for you and your family Brittney. Thank - you for being so great to work with and for and all the best on your new adventure!
We have used many realtors over the years and Stephanie is by far the best! She expertly helped us navigate the purchase of our new home through COVID restrictions and a challenging real estate market. After a few conversations, she knew exactly what we were looking for and she was able to guide us through the process while we were shopping from a distance. When the right house came up, we trusted her completely and made an offer sight unseen. She walked us through the entire transaction and continued to follow up until well after our possession. We definitely recommend Stephanie and her team for all your realtor needs! - James
Reply: Thanks for sharing about your experience working with me James. It was such a pleasure getting to know you and helping you navigate the challenges of the busy COVID market and I look forward to a day (hopefully soon) when restrictions lift and we can all get together for a proper celebration. Congrats my friend.
We started our journey with Steph last year in 2020 and even though we experienced some hiccups along the way due to the crazy market conditions, Steph helped us navigate through the process from start to finish and ultimately exceeded our expectations. Her professionalism and expertise is apparent and knowledge of the industry is second to none. She is a dedicated agent and works relentlessly to help her clients achieve her goals. Her partner TJ was also great to work with and they would tag team to make sure one of them was always available to help when needed. We without hesitation would recommend Steph to use as a realtor to anyone looking to move or sell in the Okanagan. - Brittney Atkinson
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Brittney. It was such a pleasure working with you and Matt and we're so happy we were able to get your home sold and you're now getting settled into your new digs.
I started my Kelowna real estate journey with Stephanie in 2016. I have found through my entire experience that once she learns what you are searching for, she does an excellent job at staying on that path and guiding back to it if needed. She referred me to a fantastic mortgage broker among other affiliates. With their expert help and insight, we 'cashed up' in order to extend our portfolio. Recently Stephanie has been showing us the ropes of investment purchasing. It is not just about the numbers, and she is very well versed in this area of real estate. We went into another multiple offer situation with her in our corner, and won. We were able to quickly scoop up an outstanding income property in no time with her, in an absolutely insane market. Thanks to her, I now have a bit of an addiction! - Alison Ramsay
Reply: Thanks for sharing this Ali. It has been so amazing watching you build and grow your portfolio and I'm grateful to be a part of this with you. Onto the next one! :)
Stephanie is an awesome real estate agent. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is supported me virtually, helped me under at the market, find the perfect location and property to invest. I am thankful I had her on my team. Thank you Stephanie, let’s do this is again soon! - Donna Teather
Reply: Donna, thanks for putting your faith and trust in me. It was such a joy getting to know you and I'm looking forward to being your Real Estate Consultant, and friend, for life. Congratulations on your amazing new property.
We liked her thorough introduction to the process and the market. We appreciated her excellent negotiation skills and advice with making an offer. Our first offer was a success, and in the setting of multiple offers, her approach was instrumental in securing the deal. - Andrea Ross
Reply: Thanks for the kind words. It was so great getting to know and going to work for you and I can't wait to see your beautiful new home when it's all finished.
From the start to finish the service was impeccable. She is well versed with the info about the area, rental income that can be attained and more importantly helped us close the transaction very smoothly. Her partner TJ was extremely helpful as well. I would highly recommend them! - Senthil Thirugnana
Reply: Thanks for sharing a bit about your experience Senthil. Makes me happy to know you're happy with your investment purchase.
Working with Steph has been an incredible experience! Although TJ was our primary contact, it was so comforting to know that Steph was there when need be. Her past experience has allowed her to become the best in the business and it shows; it is un-parallel to any realtor I have worked with before. It truly is like having an expert realtor, mortgage broker and investment advisor all in one! If you think you know a lot about the industry, talk to Steph; it is a humbling experience and I was constantly left speechless. I can say with 100% confidence that we would not have secured our investment property if we working with someone else. I am so happy to have crossed paths with Steph and I look forward to working with her on the next one! - Blake Geoghegan
Reply: Thanks for the kind words guys. It has been such a pleasure going to work for you and TJ and I are just so excited for this savvy purchase you have made. Looking forward to the next one!
We hooked up with Stephanie back in October of 2019, I was pregnant and we had a 1.5 year old and we were looking to move to Kelowna. We visited with her signed everything up and went back to AB. She knew what we wanted in the areas we wanted and sent us listing pertaining to our needs. Then COVID happened, throughout the whole time of our search Stephanie did video tours for us and gave us important info related to the home either regards to amenities, schools and parks. She went above and beyond her call of duty and she truly had our best interests at heart, there was no pressure from her ever, it’s like she knew everything would fall into place once we found the home we wanted and it did! We closed the deal on our new build home in lake Country in August of 2020 and she was here at the house when we drove from Alberta to Kelowna with two kids and a dog to greet us, she even did the walk through on our behalf knowing the production it is of relocating our family. Stephanie is honest, incredibly knowledgeable, professional and truly gives a sh*t about her clients, their family’s needs both personally and financially. She was the best decision we made after deciding to move to Lake Country. Stephanie is not just our realtor but she is also our friend. I highly recommend her and her team and would definitely use her expertise again. Thx so much Steph you really are THE BEST. - Shirleen Ellerington
Reply: Thanks for the amazing review Shirleen. I have had so much fun to getting to know you and your family and I'm just so happy that we were finally able to get you moved and settled here in the beautiful Okanagan. Looking forward to spending some time together during your first summer here as a resident!
The definition of exceptional customer service is to be able to know what your client wants before they even do & to take away any stress or anxiety .. this is exactly what Steph did for my family & I. In Feb I reached out to Steph via rate my agent due to her incredible reviews. After our first meeting I didn’t even bother interviewing anyone else as I knew Steph would be the perfect fit. Coming from Toronto I was skeptical about purchasing a home in a location that I had only visited for 4 days of my entire life but Steph’s dedication & knowledge for real estate put my mind at ease, in fact we ended up purchasing our family home sight unseen as her due diligence to ensure you know everything about the property is second to none. Throughout the whole process Steph and her partner TJ were there for any questions we had & I have already referred the both of them to my mother in law. Coming from a sales background myself I tend to be very selective with sales professionals but I honestly can’t say any negative about Steph, she is incredible to work with & I highly encourage you all to reach out to her if your interested in property in the Okanagan. Thank you Steph for making our real state dreams into a reality! - Renee Stanton
Reply: Wow, Renee, thank-you for the kind and generous review. Working with and getting to know your family has been such a great experience for me and I’m just so excited for you and for the amazing adventure you’re on. The countdown begins and you’ll be poolside before you know it!
Stephanie is always very professional, efficient and knowledgeable. We have worked together on a handful of properties and each time the deals have always worked out the way we hoped. Highly recommended giving her a call whether you are buying or selling. - Chris Belton
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Chris. It's always a pleasure going to work for you as you know exactly what you want and you're not afraid to fight for it. I'm so pleased we were able to put together the recent sale of one of your properties and I'm looking forward to finding the perfect place for the money to be reinvested into.
My son and I have bought and sold investment properties with Stephanie over a number of years now. With Stephanie's knowledgeable advice, care and understanding of our goals we have had great success. We truly appreciate all her hard work and patience! We look forward to working closely with her and TJ in the future. - Darlene Alexander
Reply: Darlene, I truly appreciate you allowing me to play such a large role when it comes building your Real Estate portfolio as you continue to take steps towards your financial freedom. Not only are you an amazing lady and awesome client, bu you have become a valued friend. Congrats on all your success so far and here's to the next one!
Amazing experience with Steph! She is very knowledgeable and you can tell she really cares about her clients! Super helpful and honest in all homes we went to see - also shared a lot of past experiences which helped us make decisions. 10/10 will use again with future purchases! - Tim
Reply: Thanks for the 10/10 Tim. I think you and Jess are 10/10 quality people and I feel so fortunate that I was able to be a part of this experience with you. I'm looking forward to seeing the renovations when they are done and meeting the "soon to be" newest addition to your family. Thanks for being so great to work for!
I recently purchased 2 full triplex buildings with the tremendous help of Steph Ostash. It was a complex transaction involving a hold-back and several other unique contract clauses. She negotiated a very favourable purchase agreement and nearly $40,000 off of the asking price. Steph was unfazed by the deal’s numerous up’s and down’s, and provided excellent advice every step of the way. Her vast knowledge and expertise was extremely evident throughout the transaction, as she handled every new development and challenge like it was second-nature. Throughout this purchase as well as my past dealings with Steph Ostash, one thing has become very clear: she prioritizes her clients’ satisfaction above everything else. Whether it’s an investment property or a “forever home”, Steph has proven to me that she’ll do everything within her power to find her clients their perfect property. - Stirling Grassick
Reply: Stirling, we certainly had quite the adventure together on this one didn’t we?! I truly appreciate your level head throughout all our hurdles and the fact that you allowed me to do what I do best and navigate us safely through it for the big win. Congratulations on a truly rare investment find and purchase. What a spectacular addition to your portfolio. Now... onto the next one my friend!
Stephanie is the most professional and passionate agent we have ever worked with. She facilitated a cross-country move for my husband and I, and we couldn’t have done it, or started a life here in Kelowna without her help and attention. Post-deal she has been a genuine source of knowledge and help with whatever life throws us and we look forward with partnering with her and TJ for our next moves! Cant recommend her enough :) - Anissa Marcanio
Reply: Anissa, you and Mina have been such pleasant surprise in both my professional and personal life. Not only have you been wonderful clients but wonderful people. Anyone who knows me know I LOVE the before and after of renovation and wow, what you two are doing with your new home... it's already breathtaking and it's not even done. Looking forward to the big reveal when it's all done.
Stephanie found the property we were looking for and we are still enjoying it. We were shopping from a distance so it was more tricky to get exactly what we were looking for but she did it. - Nicole Rapacz
Reply: Thank - you for the lovely review Nicole. We had quite the adventure working together to find you the perfect South facing condo and... we did it. Thanks for being such amazing people to go to work for and keep in touch with.
Stephanie and TJ were incredible to work with - super knowledgeable, quick to respond and they were able to secure the purchase of our first investment property even with multiple offers! We would highly recommend this team and we are already working with them on our next duplex/fourplex investment acquisition. - - SALT Property Investments (Susan, April, Lisa, Tina)
Reply: Thanks Team SALT! You ladies are such a pleasure to work with and I'm looking forward to soon adding the next one to your portfolio.
Stephanie went above and beyond for us, both in selling our own home before listing to beating several others in buying our new home. Stephanie is highly gifted in the real estate realm and always had a clear plan in place for us which resulted in us achieving our goal. From the mortgage broker to the cleaners Stephanie has developed a network of high caliber people to get the job done. Our family would like to thank Stephanie for all the work she did for us and Recommend her services to anyone who asks. - Jerimiah Gribble
Reply: Thanks for the lovely review Jerimiah. It was really special for me to be able to sell your very first home, which I helped you buy a number of years ago, and help your growing family get into a beautiful new home with more space. You and Julia are such amazing people and I’m just so happy for you. All the best and until the next. :)
Stephanie was very professional from our first meeting until the close of the transaction. As an out of province buyer she made the process very smooth. she understood the market and I felt we received very good value for the home that we purchased. - Donald MacDonald
Reply: Thanks for the lovely review Donald. It was such a pleasure working with and getting to know you and Kim. Looking forward to a visit at your new ski chalet. :)
Stephanie is the BEST! Not only a friend, an amazing athlete, but an all round spectacular strong woman. She brings her dedication and competitiveness into whatever she does, especially her job! My house was sold before it even hit the market. Stephanie's professional and sauvy approach to real estate puts her at the top of her game! I would most definitely recommend her as an agent to anyone wanting results. The sky's the limit with Stephanie. - Nancy Nicholls
Reply: Nancy, you are too kind. Thank - you for such a lovely review. I'm so happy this all worked out for you as I'm really excited for this next adventure and phase of your life. Thanks again for being so amazing to spend time with and to go to work for.
Stephanie was recommended to me by a friend when I was expressing my interest in investing in real estate. I will forever be grateful for that recommendation! I have worked with realtors in the past (buying and selling my first condo, looking at real estate after) and I can't believe what a difference it was working with Steph. She helped steer my investment partner and I from a condo purchase to a single-family home which we will add a basement suite to. Steph is very thorough, full of knowledge, responsive to all of our questions, fun to work with, and you can tell she really lives and breathes what she does! I can't imagine working with anyone other than her and TJ from now on. - Amber Bahm
Reply: Wow, thank - you Amber. Because I had such a blast working with Chad, when he sent you my way I knew we would be a great fit to work together as well. I have to say that you were a perfect Real Estate Investor student. You asked so many great questions and took all of my advise which led you a great opportunity that is going to produce big returns. The best part is... because this strategy allowed you to put less money down and because this property will gain so much more equity at a more rapid rate, you will be able to do all again really soon! YAAS! Thanks for being a great client and for becoming an even better friend.
Stephanie went above and beyond while selling our home. She was always available for advice all along the way. We felt as though she genuinely had our best interest in mind throughout the whole process! Our home had an offer 2 hours after it hit the MLS! - Grace
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Grace. Being as busy as you are, I know how much you sacrificed in order to prepare your property for sale and I'm so glad that it all paid off for you. Thanks for being so great to go to work for; I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you.
Stephanie's professionalism and market knowledge are beyond compare. We were brand-new to investment realty, and she walked us through the process and educated us along the way. Stephanie's valuable insights made us feel very comfortable deciding on the perfect property when the right opportunity came up. Her warm, confident personality makes working with her fun and exciting. I would recommend her and her partner to anyone looking to buy or sell, particularly those interested in growing their portfolio. - Lindsey Eadie
Reply: Lindsey, I am so proud of you for taking these steps towards building a portfolio that will provide financial freedom. I always enjoy passing my knowledge onto young investors, such as yourself, and it's a total bonus when my clients turn out to be as cool as you are. Looking forward to continuing both our professional relationship and personal friendship we have developed. Congrats girl!
Steph was awesome, she knew the home and what it would take to sell. At first our first meeting she suggested extensive Reno’s which we did not want to do so we listed with another agent and the property sat and sat and sat. We then reconnected with Steph, bought into her plan, spent some money on Reno’s and reaped an amazing return on our investment. Steph planes the colours, helped pick out flooring and lighting. She got a a killer deal on a stager and BOOM! Multiple offers the first weekend. - Paul Deol
Reply: What a journey we have been on. As an agent, it can be hard to "turn down" a listing opportunity but I wanted to make sure I could deliver results and right away I could see that to produce the price you wanted, a few things needed to happen first. I'm so happy that when you came back around, you got on board with my vision and we were then able to get that place SOLD and produce an amazing ROI, making the hard work worth your while. It's all about setting the property up to show it's best light and appeal to the masses in order to bring the RIGHT buyer who will pay top dollar. Not only did we finally get the job done, but I have to say... we sure had some fun doing it, right?! Looking forward to our next Real Estate adventure together. :)
I recently moved from Toronto with the intention to buy an investment property in Kelowna. I'm glad I met Stephanie. She dedicated time to understand my needs and to show me several neighborhoods that would match my criteria. I felt in good hands, Stephanie proved her professionalism in every single step of the process. Her negotiation skills in particular are simply phenomenal! I'm extremely happy with my purchase and the price I got it for. You can't go wrong with her! - Paolo Dominici
Reply: Thanks for taking the time to share your experience Paolo. I had such a great time getting to know you and teaching you about the best location to see the best ROI on you investment purchase. I can't wait to see the renovation, when it's finished, and watch the cash flow start to roll in.
Steph was wonderful to deal with! She made an effort to get to know us an our family and fought to get us what we wanted. Steph is knowledgeable and fantastic at her job. We would highly recommend her! - Karen Smith
Reply: Awe, Karen. I'm so pleased that we were able to fight through all the challenges to secure the perfect property for your family. Excited for you to create amazing memories there. :)
Stephanie is an incredibly responsive, talented and accomplished real estate agent who works for you. She was strategic and provided recommendations at every step throughout the sale our home. She worked very hard to sell our home and get the best price for the current market. Thank you Stephanie! - Thomas Johnson - Thomas Johnson
Reply: I really appreciate your kind words. You took all my advice and put so much time, energy, and effort into getting the property prepped and ready for sale... it's no wonder we were able to get multiple offers and secure you a top dollar price. Thanks again for being so great to go to work with and for.
Stephanie was the ultimate professional for both the selling and buying of my properties. She was very certain of what needed to get done in order to sell my home and it sold in one day on the market. It was a difficult time for me and she was also extremely empathetic and caring. She could tell when I was uneasy with the process and would call me to see how I was doing after a showing or after doing the final walk through the day before i moved out of my home of 20 years. I would highly recommend Stephanie as she is the ultimate professional coupled with a caring and loving style. I knew she had my back. - Dana Hornibrook
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Dana. I feel so grateful to have been such a big part of this journey with you and yes, I always have your back. Looking forward to what’s around the corner for you.
As first time home buyers Stephanie took us to look at multiple houses. It took some time to find the perfect house but we finally found it and are very excited to have a home of our own. - Alec
Reply: Alec, I'm so happy that you and Carolyn can finally enjoy the perks of home ownership. I'm glad that you are happy with my electrician I recommended and as you know, I'm here if you need any additional referrals to trades or help with anything else moving forward. Congratulations!
Stephanie is a true professional and passionate about her work. From start to finish of our house sale process, Stephanie was there every step of the way to guide us. Stephanie got viewers through our home and kept us updated with feedback very quickly. Our home sold quickly and we cannot thank Stephanie enough! Would not hesitate to use Stephanie in the future and highly recommend her as your agent! - Dianne Purkis
Reply: Working with and for you was such a pleasure Dianne. You and your family are such wonderful people and I'm grateful I was able to be a part of your Real Estate journey as will officially secured the highest price sale of a pre-owned home in the Wilden area - thanks to those spectacular view and your beautiful decor. All the best to you on your next adventure!
I have had the privilege of working alongside Stephanie for a few years, so she was the obvious choice when I began searching for my first investment property. She went to work immediately and found me exactly what I was looking for. She was patient, knowledgeable and dedicated. So much so that she found me an off the market option before anyone else could get their hands on it! She will 100% be my first call when I am ready for my next investment property. - Keatin
Reply: Keatin, it means the world to me that you chose me, of all agents, to be YOUR agent. This one was a slam dunk and I'm here and ready to do it again - any time my friend.
Stephanie is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. It was such a pleasure to work with her and we where so honoured to have her represent us through our search for a house. Super down to earth and easy to talk to. Very accommodating as we where out of town. She got us on to a video call with my wife, took us through the wide range of services her team has to offer. She gave us a video tour on the properties and neighbourhoods when we could not make it. She is a breath of fresh air. Truly not a realtor out for her own interests. She is not out to sell you any property available but rather a home perfectly suited for you. we could of easily bought a home in a bad neighbourhood but thank God when we finally came into the city, we where so thankful she shut down the homes that could of easily have been a buy gone wrong. Her team helped us get approved given the complexity of our case. She goes over and beyond in getting all the information needed to make you feel comfortable moving forward as a result of her experience. Stephanie you really exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much. - Mina Mekhail
Reply: Mina, It was such a pleasure working with you and Anissa and I'm so happy we were able to get you into the perfect new home. I can't wait to see what you two do with the place; it's going to be spectacular when the renovation is done. Looking forward to working together again soon!
Steph Ostash is a 12/10 in every way. She fights for you. She is patient - working with us wasn’t always easy and she simply nailed it! She is AMAZING!!!!!! We will use her for our next venture and recommend her to everybody! - Michelle Hester
Reply: Thanks girl! You and Steve were awesome to work with and I'm just so happy we got top dollar on the sale of your condo and then got you and your family into a beautiful new home where your little one will have room to play and grow. Enjoy momma; you deserve it!
Stephanie was professional and stayed the course through a challenging transaction. We had a challenging negotiation and we were able to work our way through it. Stephanie really stepped up when we needed her. We love our new property. - Cindy
Reply: Thanks for the kind words and glowing review Cindy; much appreciated. I'm happy to hear that you're happy. :)
We had a truly great experience buying a home with Stephanie as our representative. We purchased during the pandemic, and did so from another province, and in spite of these obstacles it was a very smooth and easy experience. She used technology very effectively to make sure we had a great feel for the properties we were interested in. We wound up purchasing a home our boys and we love before we ever set foot in the property, and did so comfortably knowing we could 100% trust Stephanie's opinion. We always felt that we had someone working towards whatever was best for us and our family. It could have been a difficult acquisition with the unusual obstacles, but it was essentially seamless. Highest recommendation possible for Stephanie. - Scott Ellerington
Reply: It's hard to believe that a whole year went by from when we first met/ looked at homes until your St.Albert home sold and you were ready to move, but when you were ready... you were ready and we made it happen - FAST - and it feel so great to see you and your family enjoying your beautiful new home. Congrats; You deserve it!
Stephanie has been amazing to work with. When I first started looking, I didn’t expect to succeed in buying a place in this amount of time. She’s extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I am a young home owner and she made the process stress free. I felt more as though she was a friend helping me rather than an agent just looking for money. She pointed me in the direction of great people to help with finding me a mortgage as well. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future and recommend her to everyone I know. - Rachel Gross
Reply: Rachel, getting to know you was so much fun as I always enjoy the process thoroughly when a friendship is built. I'm so proud of you for making such a wise purchase and investment decision at such a young age... big things are ahead for you. :)
Stephanie was a delight to work with, knowledgeable and infinitely patient as we traversed our way through COVID required video chats and meetings and video tours Stephanie was also very gracious in allowing our friend to see the condo on our behalf, even after Stephanie had already videoed every inch of it for us I would happily work with Stephanie again and or recommend her to others - Karen Rowe
Reply: Karen, purchasing a property from another province without every physically seeing it can be stressful and tiresome so I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and are happy with your new Okanagan lakefront property. I had a blast helping you and Greg navigate through and I'm glad you will finally get to reap the rewards.
Working with Stephanie and the rest of the Vantage West team was a fantastic experience! Moving provinces with a young family is a very stressful time. Stephanie's expertise and confidence kept us calm, focused and excited through a very long journey. We highly recommend Stephanie for anyone looking for any sort of real estate need in the Okanagan. - Tracy Schooler-Demers
Reply: Tracy, thank - you for the kind words. This truly makes my heart happy as it's always my goal to eliminate stress and inject excitement throughout the process. Is was so wonderful getting to know you, Sean, and the girls and I'm thrilled that you're finally here, settled into your beautiful new home, and able to enjoy your new Okanagan lifestyle. All the best and looking forward to a visit soon!
Stephanie is absolutely amazing! Not only is she a beautiful person inside and out, she a one of the most knowledgeable realtors I have ever worked with. She made dreams become reality and I can’t thank her enough! - Barb Henderson
Reply: Thank-you Barb. I thoroughly enjoyed helping you make a plan to prepare and stage your home and all your hard work paid off when we got your home sold for full price. Thanks for allowing me into your home and into your life... can’t wait to come visit at the new place!
In a world full of hurdles, especially during this pandemic, Stephanie dedicated herself to the challenge and simplified the process. Her professionalism and knowledge surpassed other realtors I have dealt with, and she was able to answer any and all of my questions. Without any disappointment, I would highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying property in the future. - Bradley Campbell
Reply: Brad, I'm so happy that we were able to get your home sold for FULL PRICE prior to it actually being listed for sale, all while dealing with the challenges of COVID-19. Congratulations on the sale and I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
Through working with Stephanie I found her to be a true professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She is wonderful to work with! She guided me through every aspect of the sale of my current home and the purchase of my new home. She gave me lots of great advice on preparing my current home to sell... It sold quickly for full asking price! She worked extremely hard to make the whole process seamless and easy, It was a great relief to have her working on my side! As she promised, she kept me updated with every important detail regarding my house sale and subsequent new home purchase. I asked her a lot of questions and she answered every one promptly. She kept me up to date with houses for sale in my preferred locations and price range. She worked so hard and everything worked out perfectly. I am moving into my new home soon! I sincerely appreciate all of your hard work Stephanie! - Mark Henderson
Reply: Mark, it has been such a joy start to finish and I can't wait for you and your girls to get settled into your new home so I can come visit. Thanks for the awesome review, it means a lot to me.
This is the second time we have worked with Stephanie to buy and sell a home. She is by far the most caring competent knowledgeable realtor we have ever worked with. She responds promptly to texts ,emails ,or phone calls and always has a positive uplifting attitude. Her professionalism is only exceeded by her kindness. You will not find a better or more trustworthy realtor in the Okanagan. Call Stephanie...you will not be disappointed. - Alan Niebergal
Reply: It was so great going to work for you and Jamie, yet again. It was quite the journey with many unexpected turns but... we managed to stay the course and everything came together perfectly. Congrats on the sale of you previous property and the purchase of your beautiful new home.
What a wonderful and professional realtor to work with. Stephanie helped make the buy and sell of our properties seamless. She coached us through the process of staging, marketing and preparing the sell of our home and took care of all the fine details that sometimes get overlooked. The purchase of our new condo was also made a whole lot easier because of her strong negotiation skills and eye for detail. Not all realtors follow up once the deal is done, Stephanie is most definitely the exception and truly wishes the very best for her clients. I without a doubt recommend Stephanie for your realty needs. Thank you for helping us make the transition to condo living, you have made it easier. - Robert Rae
Reply: Thank - you for the kind words Bob. I feel very grateful to have been a part of your Real Estate journey and just remember... For all things ReaI Estate related, I am always here to help, even after the sale it done and complete. Enjoy your beautiful new home. :)
Stephanie exceeds expectations of a real estate agent. She is passionate about it and lives and breathes it. I have worked with several good agents, but none who work as hard as she does. She has a wealth of knowledge, a warm and engaging personality, and has had our best interest in mind during our home search. With her, we now own the house of our dreams and couldn't be happier! - Alison Ramsay
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Ali. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with and for you over the years and couldn't be happier that we were able to get you and your family into the perfect new home. You deserve it.
Vantage West Realty is very fortunate to have such a beautiful, (inside and out), authentic, dynamic realtor on their staff. What an asset she is.....I would definitely recommend Stephanie to all aged groups. Her expertise her knowledge is so broad for such a young realtor. Stephanie was exceptional..... Thank you again, for the difference you have made in my life. Jeannine Dagenais - Jeannine Dagenais
Reply: Jeannine, thank - you for putting your faith in me. I know it was a HUGE step for you to purchase a property without ever physically seeing it, but we spent so much time getting to know each other and diving into your wants and needs... I knew I could make this happen for you. After telling you "no" to a number of your other choices (I knew they weren't right for you) when we finally did find the one, I had full confidence that it was the perfect place for you to call home. I'm so happy I was right and pleased that you love your new condo. Thanks for being a great client and becoming such a great friend.
Stephanie Ostash is an amazing realtor! She went beyond the call of duty to help us find an investment property. Stephanie even showed us a place that was about to go on the market at 10pm one night. She answered our texts day and night. Multiple offers were written without any complaints. She was a pleasure to deal with. Very personable and caring. I look forward to working with her again in the future. - Sabrina Lukkarinen
Reply: Sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, especially when it's for amazing people, such as yourselves. I'm so happy that after putting all the work, we finally snapped up the perfect investment property to add to your portfolio. Thanks for singing my praises!
From beginning to end, I felt like I was being taken care of. Stephanie Ostash started off with a full assessment of my requirements and guided me every step of the way due to my lack of familiarity of the local market in Kelowna. In fact, it wasn't possible for me to be there physically so she made sure that every little detail was covered in order to give me a peace of mind. We encountered issues dealing with the seller but she still managed to navigate through them one by one and create a seamless process. Best thing of all is based on her superb negotiating skills she manage to get me a great deal. Thanks again for the phenomenal job! - Jeremy
Reply: Thanks for the wonderful review Jeremy. Yes, we had some hurdles thrown our way, but we did it. I can't wait for you and you family to see and enjoy your beautiful new Okanagan home! Thanks for putting your trust in me. :)
I previously tried selling my home with another agent and didn't have much luck. I was ready to throw in the towel when I met Stephanie and was impressed with knowledge and experience so decided to give her a shot, and I'm glad I did because she got the job done. She was here when I needed her, never missed any details and always went above and beyond. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants to sell their home! - Irene Mugford
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Irene. I know this was a difficult process for you, so I'm happy I was able to be your shoulder to lean on as we got your home SOLD so that you can move closer to and spend more time with your family.
Stephanie was fantastic! I have been buying and selling real estate for 15 years and I have never found a realtor so helpful. She was great at getting back to me, supportive and encouraging in every way. I am so impressed with her. - Brenda L Delint
Reply: Wow, thanks Brenda! This means a lot to me, coming from such a seasoned pro such as yourself. I was happy to pull out the big guns during negotiations in order to win in multiples offers, yet still get you a great deal on your new investment purchase all at the same time. Congrats on your new money maker!
We loved working with Stephanie. She was endlessly patient, showing us multiple properties. Stephanie’s goal is to make sure you find exactly the right property. Her insight and experience provided us with so much information we would never have had on our own. A consummate professional, unfailingly pleasant and a genuine pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough! - Penny Ballantyne
Reply: Wow, thank - you for the glowing review Penny. You and Peter were so great to work with and it truly makes my heart happy to know we found you the perfect place to call home.
Stephanie is the BEST ! You will not find someone more knowledgeable and passionate about her career , I actually believe it is not a job to her she truly enjoys what she does ! Thanks for making our journey so easy ! Always above and beyond . - Julie Fisher
Reply: Wow, Julie... thank - you. This is so true, but it's easy to have a blast doing what I do, when I get to work with the most amazing people, like yourself. I'm glad we got your previous home sold for top dollar so that we could pounce on the perfect new home (the first day it came on the market), before anyone else had a chance to get to it. Enjoy my friend; you deserve it.
For our first time investment property, Stephanie held our hands the entire way. Her vast knowledge and expertise allowed us to be confident in this purchase even through the uncertain times of COVID. - David and Stacey Leahy
Reply: Such a pleasure working with you and David and I'm excited to see your portfolio continue to grow as you build a legacy for your boys. I'm glad you enjoyed the educational process which put us in a position to act quickly and snap up a rare opportunity when it presented itself. Winning all around!
Stephanie was fabulous. She SOLD our house during "Coming Soon" before the listing went live for FULL PRICE offer with the quick close dates we needed!!! HOW CAN YOU DO BETTER THAN THAT!!! Oh wait, you can do better than that... she also brought us wine to celebrate our accepted offer. We would recomend Stephanie to ANYONE! You can tell she definitely loves her job and is dam good at it. - James Coyle
Reply: Thanks James. What a journey we went on; it was a total blast and I’m so grateful to have become your trusted real estate advisor for many more real estate decisions to come.
Stephanie was amazing! She knew that I had an aggressive goal for the sale of my townhouse and not only did she make that happen, but we got multiple offers on the first day on the market! Thank you Steph!! - Krystina Rossworm
Reply: Thanks for the review Krystina. I'm really happy you agreed to take the time to finish the renovations and take the advise of staging as it truly does make a world of difference in making a house feel like a home for a buyer. You're amazing. Thanks for choosing me, of all agents, to be your agent.
Amazing agent, amazing experience. Top notch service and very knowledgable. Will be using Stephanie again for my next buy. 100% would recommend and refer anybody looking to sell or buy. - Cody Pointner
Reply: Thanks Cody. You were very specific in what you wanted and I'm glad we were not only able to find it for you, but then kick butt in multiples offers in order to actually GET it for you. Had a blast working together and looking forward to the next one, one day. :)
I struggled to find a professional and aggressive agent until I met Stephanie. She worked diligently through the slow winter season, trying to find the perfect property until one popped up. Her quick and eager approach landed an accepted offer and sale in no time! Would recommend and will use again. - Zack Pfob
Reply: Zack, I'm really glad that our aggressive approach paid off and we scooped up the PERFECT first home for you, before anyone else had a chance to even get inside and see it. As you know, I'm certainly not one to sit back and wait... if you want something, you have to find a way to make it happy, even when initially told "no". LOL. Can't wait to come check it out when you're done all your renovations!
Stephanie was great to work with! She understood our needs and provided up with lots of homes to view as well as education on what to look for to reach our goals. - Graeme
Reply: I always enjoy working with young first time buyers who are eager to learn and make wise decisions, with plans of growing a portfolio. Always happy to help, especially for amazing people such as Alexa and yourself.
If your looking for the best of the best, Stephanie will not disappoint. Every step of our selling and buying process with Stephanie was amazing. She always made herself available to fit our schedule and very speedy at answering any questions we had. Don't settle for second best, phone Stephanie at Vantage West. - Dairn & Julie - Dairn
Reply: Thanks Julie and Dairn! It's always so awesome when my team pairs me with clients who are just the perfect fit, as it was with us. I'm happy I was able to deliver a 5 star experience and build a friendship along the way. Love you guys!
Stephanie did a fantastic job helping us buy our first investment property. She was quick to answer any of our questions and if wasn't sure, she found out, and got right back to us. Once we decided on what we want, we had an accepted offer in less that 24 hours. Thank you again for all your hard work! - Mihaela and Laurentiu
Reply: I appreciate the kind words; thank - you. I had so much fun educating you on the market and helping you find the perfect investment opportunity for your family - looking forward to the next one!

I really enjoyed getting to know you and your daughter, Dahlia, and I'm happy I was able to help educate you on the market as we moved through the process of getting you an awesome deal on your perfect new home. Thanks for being amazing and for being you. :)
We have used Stephanie twice now. She is BY FAR one of the BEST agents EVER! We will never use anyone else! Her plus the Vantage West team behind her is one of a kind service! We recommend them both in a heartbeat! We were taken care of from beginning to end and we are very happy in our new home. - Colette Wagner
Reply: Thanks Colette! It makes me so happy to know that you are so happy. Thank - you for always spreading the words and letting other people know how much I put into ensuring my clients have a 5 star experience.
Steph is an amazing agent, incredibly thorough and knowledgeable she found a buyer for us very quickly and was on the hunt for a new rental property immediately. We will definitely be using her for all our future deals - Cody Earp
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Cody; the pleasure was all mine. Looking forward to the next one!
Stephanie is the most competent agent that I have ever met - she's helped me purchase my own home, as well as several rental properties which are still doing amazingly. - Lindsay Smart
Reply: Always a joy going to work for a good friend. It's no secret that I love helping amazing people, such as yourself, build and grow their Real Estate portfolio's and achieve the success they always dreamed of.
We lucked out when we found Stephanie at Vantage Realty. We were new to Kelowna and BC real estate rules. She was very helpful with our sale which was on West First Nations Land and also found us the perfect bungalow in Sunrise Village. Thank you Stephanie for guiding us through. - Barb Sauve
Reply: Thanks for the lovely review Barb. Our journey together was awesome as I always love when I go into multiple offers for my Sellers and bring them top dollar for their currently property, and then negotiate a great deal on the next one. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you and Stan soon! :)
Stephanie really impressed me with her patience and knowledge. She took the time to show me homes in different areas of Kelowna, even when I picked some really bad ones (haha). Being new to the area she helped me find a great home in an awesome location. I've been living here for three years now and love it. Thanks Stephanie! - Trevor Sevcenko
Reply: Trevor, we had quite the adventure together but I'm happy to hear it was all well worth it, and you are still loving your home.
Stephanie was professional and was available at all times for showing us properties. She was always prepared and when above and beyond to research the history of properties. I could not say enough about her qualities and the service she provided. - Pamela Hanson
Reply: Thanks for the kind words Pamela. It was such a pleasure helping guide you and Norm through your first investment purchase. Not only did we find you an awesome buy, we had fun doing too!
Stephanie’s slogan of “... for all things Real Estate related, I am always here to help” is exactly who is she. She is always so helpful whether it’s to buy, sell, or even just a general inquiry or recommendation. The support team at Vantage West is also amazing and it allows Stephanie to concentrate on providing her clients with excellent service. If you want the best, Stephanie is your girl :) - Kimberly Ballard
Reply: Wow, Kim, that's the first time someone has repeated my slogan in a review. Thank - you. Working with you and Cody to get your property sold, for top dollar, was awesome and I'm looking forward to soon helping you two reinvest that money back into a killer investment property.
Buying a home is one of live's biggest and most stressful events. Stephanie made this experience as stress free as it could be. Right from the get go, Stephanie put together a plan to get to know us and figure out exactly what we were looking for. I thought I knew what we were looking for but there are so many factors involved. It is almost a science the way she slowly sifted through all the minutiae to find the home that fit just right for us. The team at Vantage that was working behind the scenes were of course a big part of this as well and deserve a lot of credit too. I will be recommending Vantage to all my friends. - CONNIE DACK
Reply: Thanks for the review Connie! Working with and getting to know you and Gary has been such a riot. I'm pumped that we scooped up such an awesome first investment property for you and I'm excited to be working together again, so soon, as we start the hunt for the next one.
What can I say? She's a champ in every sense of the word. On top of every angle, knows the market better than anyone, and extremely professional at all times. Pleasure to work with. - Joe Parente
Reply: Thanks Joe! Easy to be a champ when I have great clients like you in my corner. I had so much fund snapping up multiple investment properties for you, during an extremely fast paced market. Win after win, it never gets old.
I was very impressed with Stephanie's knowledge of the Kelowna area market, and with the process that Vantage West uses for their buyer clients. Stephanie took me on several market education outings, where we went to see suites that were for sale (even though they were not quite what I was looking for) so I could see what the buildings and atmosphere were like. After that I felt much more clarity and confidence with regards to everything that was available in my price range, and shortly after that I found exactly what I was looking for. Stephanie was very attentive to my needs throughout the entire buying process, and she provided all the information I needed to make an informed decision on my purchase. Buying a condo can be a stressful experience, but she made it all seem easy! Stephanie and the team at Vantage West provided a top notch, stress-free experience for me and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a realtor in the Kelowna area who truly goes the extra mile. Thanks Stephanie! - Melodee V
Reply: Thanks for pumping my tires Melodee. I had a great time working with you, through all the different purchase options, in order to finally land on the perfect place for you. I'm looking forward to seeing your new home once all your renovations are complete and then.. we can start the hunt for your for your next purchase - an awesome little investment property and cash flow machine.
This exceptional realtor made my life a dream. Not only does she know and 'work' the market, she creates exceptional marketing, with on the spot service (she is NEVER out of touch),is always professional and her team support and energy are second to none. Her unique, very personal service and support has created a lasting bond of trust. I was often surprised she had other clients as it always felt she was there for only me! Thank you Stephanie and team. - Lori Pierson
Reply: Oh Lori, working with awesome people like YOU is what makes MY life a dream! I had a tough order to fill when you came to me needing to sell ASAP (after no success with a previous agent) but we got the job done. Hunting for an investment property to add to your portfolio was a total blast and I'm grateful for the friendship we developed along the way . You and I make a great team and I'm looking forward to more great times to come.
stephanie was amazing! She was prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable in regards to her profession! I have used many realtors in Alberta before and I wish they where half as great at their job as Stephanie was in dealing with my family's new purchase. I would definitely recommend her services Dan - Dan Covelli
Reply: Thanks so much Dan! I really enjoyed working with you and was pleased that we were able to negotiate such a killer deal on your new vacation home. Although you were situated in Alberta and could't physically be here for most of the process, I was happy to do what I do and take the reins in order to ensure everything was taken care of. Looking forward to meeting the rest of your family when you all make it back out this way!
I certainly highly recommend Stephanie. She knows the market and certainly works hard for the seller. Soon learned that do what she is advising and in the end you will be very happy with the outcome of the sale. This agent is a true professional and you will be in good hands if you follow her advice. - Woodrow Mullett
Reply: Woody, it's been such a pleasure working with you and your lovely wife, Louise, over the years. I have thoroughly enjoyed being your trusted Real Estate advisor, helping you make wise decisions as you buy and sell property; helping special people, such as yourselves, is truly what I live for. Thank - you for allowing me to be a part of your Real Estate journey and your life.
Stephanie is amazing. I couldn't recommend her enough. Her knowledge, professionalism, work ethic and negotiation skills are top notch. She used a proven process to quickly hone in on what I was looking for. She would often get me in front of high demand listings right away. And then when I found what I wanted, she used a proven negotiation technique to secure a multiple offer situation due to the quality of the offer we presented. If you want a shark, she's your realtor. - Tony K
Reply: Tony, working with amazing people, such as yourself, is what truly brings me joy. I had such a blast guiding you through the Buyer system and process, and it felt great to kick butt when we went into multiple offers, in order to secure your PERFECT new home. You are an awesome client and an even better friend.
Stephanie is my idea of a great realtor, she is super efficient in the process of selling and buying from start to finish. Stephanie is always communicating to keep us up to date on everything, you never have to chase her down for anything. She made me feel that I didn’t have to worry about anything because she guides you along the way. She is best realtor that we have ever had. I recommend Stephanie to be a persons choice for either selling or buying or like us for both. - Helen Lennox
Reply: Helen, getting to know you and Anthony was such a joy. When I take on clients who has previously listed with/ unable to sell with a different agent, I know that the clients often have high stress and anxiety over the process, but it makes my heart so happy to not only get the job done, but to be able to melt away that stress and build a friendship along the way. Congratulations on the sale of your previous property and the purchase of your beautiful new home. I can't wait to come see it when you're all settled in.
Truly an amazing experience with Steph, TJ and team. Attention to detail in showcasing the listing was amazing. Pre-sale prep to sale to post sale - the experience all around was exceptional. We loved the energy and professionalism the team brought in marketing and selling the home. - Sam Dhurai
Reply: Sam, working with you on the sale of your spectacular brand new luxury spec home was amazing. Not only was the property stunning but you followed all our detailed and specific advice allowing us to get you a quick top dollar sale. Thank - you for being one of the kindest clients I have had the pleasure of working with and I look forward to our continued relationship as we move forward together.
