In Simon 's Own Words:

I am a seasoned and dedicated real estate professional with over 10 years of experience guiding clients in all things real estate in the Central Okanagan. I am a passionate professional: real estate is not just a job for me - it's a way of life and my unwavering passion is dedicated to helping our clients achieve their goals. Over the years, I have cultivated a local expertise with 17 years in the beautiful Okanagan, I know the lay of the land like the back of my hand. From the hidden gems to the bustling neighbourhoods, I bring a wealth of local knowledge to ensure your real estate journey is seamless. Our approach to real estate is shaped by our core values of honesty, relationships, care, compassion, and results. Family is at the core of everything I do and I understand the importance of finding a home where your family can thrive, or in finding the right investment strategy to set you up for success. Growing up as the son of a builder in the Lower Mainland, construction sites were my playground. I entered the trades at a young age, developing a deep understanding of the intricacies of construction and what makes a home from start to finish. Negotiation is one of the most important skills a real estate professional must have, and my clients regard me as an expert when it comes to strategizing and forging agreements. I excel at thinking outside the box and crafting creative solutions, ensuring a successful process and happy clients who are confident they didn't leave a dollar on the table. When it comes to listing your home for sale, I offer strategic exposure for marketing, leveraging my vast investment knowledge and a keen understanding of the micro and macroeconomics driving our real estate markets. Along the way I've garnered many awards, but at the end of the day we do this with one main goal in mind - helping you achieve your real estate goals. Your property goals no matter the magnitude are in capable hands. Feel free to pick up the phone and give me a call. I'm here to discuss your aspirations, answer questions, and to help you pave the way for real estate success.

Awesome experience! Simon and Riely are an amazingly detailed and capable team in an industry where this is sadly becoming rare. Our experience was nothing short of perfect as every aspect of our search, negotiation and eventual purchase was handled with personal care and flawless execution! Not only did they do what was necessary well, they went above and beyond, organizing all of our documents effortlessly and connecting us with local recommendations beyond what we will ever need. We wouldn’t hesitate to connect them with our friends and family and really suggest anyone looking for Real Estate help to connect with them! - Maximilian Hansen

Simon was absolutley patient and helpful. He was honest and pointed out stuff that I wouldn't have noticed about the construction of the places we saw. He has a background in construction and home building so he was very usefull in that regard, and also negotiations with the sellers. He showed me so many places, and told me when he didn't think something was the best fit. He didn't try to rush me. I will be using him for my future selling and buying, and i recommend him to my friends in the market. - Rebecca Lawrence

Simon and Riely have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Three things that stood out for us: one, their excellent ability to take our feedback on what we were looking for and then showing us exactly what we wanted. We were very picky as we had a large list we needed to fill. They have worked with us for at least 24 months and that persistence paid off. Never once did their enthusiasm waver. Two, their professionalism throughout the whole transaction. They called, emailed, gave us details - it was so helpful. They were proactive, that's a rare quality. Three, Simon's negotiation skills are excellent. We took his advice and then he took our direction. It worked so well and everyone got what they wanted in the end. I couldn't recommend this team more. I would do another transaction with them in a minute. - Alina Martin

Reply:    Thank you so much for leaving us this amazing review! We were super excited to get you such an amazing deal! Thank you so much for putting your trust in us and allowing us the opportunity to serve you through the process . We do believe communication is key , and effective negotiations is ultimately what sets are clients up for success in the real estate market! We’re so excited to be a part of your move to Kelowna!

Simon did an amazing job with us helping sell our condo. He was constantly trying to generate new buyers even when the market was quiet. He was always very professional and knowledgeable. He regularly kept in touch with us and kept us informed. He frequently sent us info on what was selling in the neighborhood that was comparable. I highly recommend using Simon as your agent! - Brenda Dagg

Reply:    Thanks for leaving us this great review Brenda ! The Market has been more challenging for sure this last year or two , staying consistent and proactive to get the buyers moving through the door is everything ! I am so happy for you guys that you were able to sell for 10’s of thousands more than the almost identical competition . We appreciate having the opportunity to serve you and are grateful that you put your trust in us !

Simon Ward is one of the kindest, most helpful and honest realtors we have ever utilized. Even though we were indecisive he was incredibly patient with us. He and his business partner Riely Rodrigues are an amazing team and really have such a balanced and organized system in place between the two of them. We would highly recommend working with them not only because of their professionalism, knowledge, sincerity, honesty and hard work ethic, but because they are incredibly personable and trustworthy. We feel like we can truly call them family after our successful home ownership journey together! If we ever need to buy or sell in the future we will use no one else! - Cathy and Mike Robertson

Simon helped me and my partner purchase our first family home back in November 2021. I am eternally grateful him for guiding us thru the process! I am still shocked at how great of a home (& price) we were able to get, considering the crazy market and competition at the time. I have been checking the market for the last 2 years and there hasn't been anything comparable in terms of value since - despite the near 20% drop in SFH prices in my area. This speaks volumes about his understanding of the current market conditions & how to come on on top. Simon Ward has sold 6 homes in total to family & friends in the last 3 years. He has fought tooth and nail for every single one of us and we are all happy. Smart, strategic, knowledgeable and no bullshit. I cannot recommend him enough! - Ilya Erch

With out hesitation I would give Simon 10 start. Simon is fully committed to his clients, past or current. Simon helped up 4 years ago with the purchase of our first home and he was very professional, knowledgeable and made it a great experience. I recently needs some assistance with the value of another property, called Simon on a Saturday and without hesitation Simon was happy to assist, and I received the information in less than one working day. If your looking for an agent that will be there when you need them, Simon is committed to you! - Amanda Roberts

Simon successfully represented us as buyers. My wife and I were grateful for his local knowledge and negotiation skills during a competitive offer situation where he helped us to acquire our target property without any drama or stress. We really enjoyed working with him because he was attentive, proactive and brought valuable strategies on the process. For example he suggested a holdback on the sellers side due to a possible roofing issue, which turned out to be a liability many months later, and the seller eventually had to pay 100%. Had he not suggested and negotiated that into our deal, it would have cost us thousands. A highly recommended Kelowna real estate pro! - Brooks V.

I appreciate you leaving us this great review and telling the world about our story of how we found a creative way to add an extra layer of protection to your Real Estate Investment.

We have recently had the pleasure of selling our home using Simon Ward as our realtor. Having been involved in 5 sales and 4 purchases in the last 10 years, we can definitely say that Simon and his team are the most professional by far. Even in a buyers market with higher interest rates, his team was quickly able to produce a qualified buyer. The level of detail he used in the advertising and brochures was exceptional. We were given plenty of time to prepare for showings and the whole process was very smooth and effortless. - Jasmine Powers

Simon is an incredible realtor! He’s constantly checking in, responds within 30 minutes (if not answered right away), has so much knowledge of the industry and is more than happy to share it with his clients! It was a great experience, and he always takes care of our family when it comes to real estate - we recommend him to the world! - Nicolette

This was the first property we have ever sold, so we were nervous and novices! Simon made us very comfortable, and took us through the various stages and tasks needed for a successful sale. It's a complicated site, with a Restrictive Covenant and some other issues. He and Riely Rodrigues did a great job of preparing/staging our house on the lakeshore, minimizing the impact (on us) of showings, and keeping us informed at every stage. They had to deal with the forest fires in the immediate area. Simon advised us to adjust our asking price based on issues identified in private ('Coming Soon') showings. Once 'public', he managed the various offers by potential buyers, and we ended up getting a sale at more than our initial asking number.We felt both comfortable and confident with Simon and his team partner Riely. They were professional, friendly and competent, and made the whole process as much a pleasure as such a process can be. They even gave us a beautiful rendering of our cottage of 32 years on the Lake, to keep as a mmeory. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND SIMON AND HIS TEAM TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A REALTOR IN THIS AREA OF THE OKANAGAN! - Nick Finn (and Heidi Schroter)

Reply:    Thank you so much for your kind words, Nick ! and your fantastic recommendation! We Loved getting to know you and your family deeper than Just Clients , It felt Like We gained a new friends in having the opportunity to serve you. I knew this sale was a bit Bitter / sweet .

Working with Simon Ward and Riely Rodrigues at Vantage West has been a real pleasure. Simon helped me find the perfect home. I was moving to Kelowna from another province and before we met in person, we spoke many times. Simon sent me listings for a couple a months before my trip to Kelowna so that I had a better sense of the market and what was available. I wasn't expecting to be able to find a place right away, but that's what happened. A week after I accepted an offer on my place in Ontario, I flew to Kelowna. In two days, I found my dream home. Simon and Riely helped me through all the stages of the purchase. The procedures were a bit different from where I was from. They were patient and quick to respond to my many questions. They also had helpful suggestions about practical things, like converting my drivers license or where to by a mattress. Riely sent me frequent emails to guide me through the various steps and combed through tons of strata documents. Their help didn't end after I moved in. Simon lent me a camping mattress so that I did not have to sleep on the floor. He lent me tools and spent a few hours helping me with my door lock. Simon and Riely make a great team and I am so grateful for their help! - Jody M

Reply:    Thanks So much for all these kind words Jody ! It was a Pleasure having the opportunity to serve you and help with the transition to a new province! We are thrilled to hear you are Loving your New Place!

Simon is the gold standard when it comes to a highly regarded, trustworthy realtor. His “honesty is the best policy” way of handling business was refreshing, and I had great confidence in his ability to represent me and my family during both buying and selling property. He will continue to be my #1 contact with anything real estate related in the Okanagan region. - Reid

I wish there were more stars to provide Simon, Riely, and the Vantage West team! They truly went above and beyond from the very moment we stepped foot in the office until beyond our closing day. My partner and I are first time home buyers with little to no knowledge of the real estate world. Simon made the process easier to understand, as stress free as possible, and fun! If you’re looking for an agent who truly is looking out for your best interest, look no further. Simons honesty, integrity, and communication has made us life long clients and we look forward to working with Simon again - Brie Fisette

Reply:    This means so much to us thank you so much for sharing your experience! It means so much to us that you wish there were more stars! We definetly had tons of fun! Sometimes I wish we didn’t find a place so quickly because I enjoyed spending that time with you guys Exploring our options and immersing ourselves in the market to find the best deal we possibly could! I appreciate your kind words and look forward to the next time we get together!

Simon and Riely were such a pleasure to deal with. I had no idea what I was doing when it came to selling a house and it was extra difficult selling a house from a distance. I'm on the coast and the house was in Peachland. They were always in contact with every step and made a every difficulty seem like no big deal. Simon is an awesome realtor and is extremely knowledgeable. He was on top of everything including market changes and strategies and it was a great pleasure dealing with him. Riley was an absolute gem to deal with and was so on the ball with everything. She went above and beyond at the end of the sale and they really nailed it right at the end with the tight time constraints. I recommend them and will look them up in the future if I relocate! - Ian Wilson

Reply:    Ian, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us this fantastic review! Riely is a gem! I am so grateful to have her helping out by my side. We had some challenges and hiccups along the way for sure, but I am happy we were able to get ahead of everything and get things sorted out with our tight timelines. Thanks for putting your trust in us! We appreciate you, and if you do decide to relocate we can't wait to help you!

The importance of choosing the right Realtor cannot be stressed enough. They are managing the sale of your highest value asset and you are trusting them to do so with professionalism, respect and knowledge. We interviewed 3 well known Realtors and chose to hire Simon from Vantage West because he was the best fit for our needs. He promptly understood the unique aspects of our property which translated into a higher sale value. From start to finish we were thrilled with the experience. We received staging advice from Heather to showcase our home in the best possible light. The photographer was amazing and we fell in love with the photos of our house. We appreciated Riley providing email support and ensured all information was sent quickly. Simon was always available to answer questions – prompt and professional. After the showings, Simon and his team provided us with feedback. When the offer was received, he skillfully negotiated the best terms for us. He also provided professional recommendations for companies needed to fulfill subjects. He is beside you the whole way and does an excellent job of communicating his strategy. All of the above is valuable, but most important is the bottom line – price. The best proof of ability is our house selling for 175,000 more than the LISTING price suggested by another company. How long would it take for you to save 175,000? Sold during a downward changing market (Sept 2022). We fully recommend Simon and his team at Vantage West. Professional, reachable, knowledgeable and great to deal with. - Dianne Bondaroff

Reply:    Thank you so much Dianne ! It was truly a pleasure having the opportunity to help you with your family‘s real estate goals! I’m so happy for you guys that we were able to get you such a great result in such on certain market conditions, it always really pays off to have a concrete game plan and a systematic approach to ensure you net the most amount of money! We really appreciate the kind words and you sharing your great experience. It’s been a pleasure to serve you and your family!

Simon went above and beyond to help us get into our first home (and navigate us through the process with a very short timeline). Simon was extremely professional and personable, he really made the whole experience seamless and stress free. He was very patient and made sure we understood everything as first time home buyers, and was always available when we had questions. We can’t say enough good things about our experience! Highly highly recommend Simon as your realtor. - Chantelle Dent

We used Simon after being referred to him by some very happy friends who had Simon find them a house also this past year. Even though the housing market was very tough for a buyer this past year Simon continued to have homes for us to see and once we found what we wanted he quickly closed the deal and got us an excellent possession date that satisfied our timeline needs. The team he has around him were also very efficient in telling us what we needed to do on our end so the process moved along seamlessly. Thanks for setting up our family in a stress free transition...greatly appreciated! - Benji & Tannis Miles
