Home Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Sep 2021
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

Condo Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Apr 2021
We found Simon to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful! As we were out of town Simon took the initiative in going to the property and allowing us to view the different options via video. He provided us with his honest opinion, ensured to follow up with us and provided us with all the answers to our questions with great detail. With all the information we felt we were in a position to make a well informed decision of our purchase! We would definitely use Simon as our Relator again and have refereed him to friends. - Victor and Toni De Fazio
Townhome Purchase in Belgo-Black Mountain, Kelowna, BC, Canada | Oct 2021
Simon helped my girlfriend and I buy our first home. He was very accommodating of our schedules and dropped everything when it came to helping us .I could count on Simon to answer any stupid question that I may have had without any judgement. Being that it was our first time going through this process we were stressed to say the least, But Simon and the team at Vantage West Realty made our experience easy. With the crazy market we had this year we would still be renting if it weren't for Simon. Looking forward to working with Simon again in the future! - Luke J Vogrinetz
Home Purchase in North End, Kelowna, BC | Nov 2020
My wife and I used Simon to buy our current home and the overall experience was outstanding. Simon displayed extensive knowledge not only in the neighborhoods and homes themselves, but also in helping us see the vision of how our new home could become the dream home with some renovation ideas. The negotiations were intense but Simon made the process smooth and seamless and ultimately got us into our new family home and we couldn't be happier. We have and will continue to recommend Simon to our friends and family anything real estate! - Erik

Had a great experience working with Simon and purchased a lovely condo in the building I wanted to live Simon sent me lots of listings and took me to see a variety of units, including all the ones I asked to see. I ultimately purchased in a great building. He was extremely helpful and easy to work with and offered to show me as many listings as I was necessary to ensure I made the right choice. He is very knowledgeable and personable and was a great agent to work with! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or Vantage West Realty! - kathy beauchesne

Simon has made my buying and selling experience so pleasant that I am wanting to buy in that area just to have the opportunity to work with him again. I am BLOWN away with him.

Literally better than crypto. - Kyleigha Beckmann

Dealing to sell our home I choose the best Realtor in Vantage West Realty Inc. Group. Simon Ward just exceeded all my expectations. For the first time we met, I realized, I got a Realtor whose pride is to go above and beyond in his profession. His marketing strategy really impressed me, the speed of process amazed me. He managed to sell the house in 6 days over asking price. I can't be more thankful and grateful for his amazing service and made the process simple and joyful. - Ilona Csula Moric

Simon is such a personable, kind and attentive realtor. My husband and I were so pleased to purchase our first home in Kelowna with Simon as our realtor. I cannot say enough good things about him to others who are looking to buy or sell. We are now looking to purchase our second property and of course we got into contact with Simon again! He not only helps us out with the task of finding a property but he has also become a friend. Day or night he is always there to answer questions or clarify inquiries we may have had! Thanks Simon! - Stephanie A.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Simon. The customer service he provided was amazing, he went above and beyond. He made the process of looking for a townhouse a lot less stressful and smooth for my family and I. He was very professional throughout the entire process and made us feel comfortable and got us the best deal possible. He was very knowledge and explained everything very thoroughly.

Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Sep 2021
Simon was a great help during the challenging times for us as buyers this past summer. In such a busy market he responded timely and accommodated most of our out-of-town viewings and requests. His knowledge of RE market, business, the Okanagan area as well as all around building and construction experience help tremendously with finding and closing on a right property that suites client's specific needs. Simon offers his advise and recommendations but isn't too pushy and listens to the concerns of his clients carefully. We felt more and more confident over time that we're in caring and professional hands! He helps a lot with the closing process and even after! So grateful!!!!!!!!!!! - Irina and Mark
Property in Kelowna, BC | Sep 2021
Simon and the Vantage West Realty team are absolutely exceptional! They are by far the most professional Real Estate agency I have had an opportunity to work with. I felt that I was a top priority throughout both the purchasing and selling process. As with buying and selling property, there were moments when I was a bit nervous, but Simon kept me well informed at every step of the process creating a calm and collected experience. All my questions were answered either on the spot or within a few hours. I was so surprised when Simon offered to talk to tenants regarding the sale of my property and the end of their tenancy. The attention and understanding of my position as a landlord was impressive. Simon and the team then communicated directly with the tenants when arranging showings. I also valued when Gayle from Vantage West Team met me at the purchased property to walk through and confirm everything was as it should be before I took possession. At this moment I am happily settling into my new home and enjoying my new neighbourhood. In addition to all I have mentioned, within this chaotic market, Simon was able to negotiate under asking on my property purchase and get top dollar for my property sale, having it sold within a week of listing! I absolutely would look to Simon Ward and the Vantage West Realty team for any future real estate activity and I highly recommend them to anyone purchasing or selling. - Heidi Samida
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Oct 2021
Simon provided such valuable information and resources to ensure my partner and I had an easy and stress free purchase. He was very accommodating of our schedules when setting up showings, extremely organized and personable. The team at Vantage West Realty complimented Simons' skills very well as they were all so helpful and responsive to any of our needs. Trevor has also been amazing with his property management and tenant placement services. His confidence and high standard of care made us very comfortable knowing that our investment is in good hands. We can not thank Simon and the rest of Vantage West enough for everything they have done for us. Looking forward to working with Simon again in the future and referring him to all of our friends and family! - Rachael B
Property Sale in Kelowna, BC | Jul 2021
It was an absolute pleasure working with Simon and the team at Vantage West Realty!! My family and I are forever thankful for having the opportunity to work with him and his team! They took a stressful situation and made it a pleasant experience for all of us! Taking the bull by the horns is an understatement! He listed our property and my wife and I began our journey to our new home across the country. And before we had reached our destination we had multiple offers and our home was sold! Cheers Simon, here's to selling another 1000! - Donnie Schiestel
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Aug 2019
Simon was great, he was always able to come up with lots of properties that fit my criteria, and we placed several offers before finally having one accepted. He was able to get me into the very first showing, and with an immediate offer, we got the place. I am very happy with my purchase, and he was very helpful. He sometimes wears too much cologne, but he also stopped wearing it around me when I mentioned it. - Michael
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Jan 2021
As out of town buyers, what seemed like a daunting task was made extraordinarily easier with Simon as our realtor. He was very prepared with plenty of listings the two weekends we came into town to look at properties and didn’t waste any time. His contractor background was an asset in giving us honest feedback about the homes we viewed. His negotiation skills and tenacity really stood out to us when it came time to make an offer, and we were rewarded with a house purchased under asking! Simon was always quick to respond to all of our questions, big and small, throughout the whole process. We had a couple hiccups in our move (not real estate related at all) and he was able to offer a helping hand, which really made him a stand-out in our minds- going that extra mile for us even after the deal was done. We are so thankful to Simon and the Vantage West team in helping make our move to the Okanagan a smooth one! - Adelyn Au
Property in Kelowna, BC | Feb 2021
Simon ward has been the most professional realtor my wife and I have ever worked with. The customer service he provided was absolutely incredible, and goes that extra mile to make sure we where satisfied. He got us more for our house that we sold then we expected, and also got our new home for a lot better deal then we would have ever hoped for. I would recommend Simon to anyone, he provides a full great experience with no headaches for any seller or buyer. We are super pleased with him and we would never use anyone else! Thank you Simon for all your hard work for selling our old home, and getting us into our dream home! He is an amazing realtor! - Christian bader
Property in Kelowna, BC | Mar 2021
Simon is the absolute best realtor in Kelowna! He is very professional, well spoken, and accessible. We have bought and sold houses with Simon in the past few years and he has gotten us top dollar on sales on the first day of listing! He has also negotiated exceptional deals on houses that we have purchased saving us hundreds of thousands of dollars. Listing with Vantage West Realty comes with some huge advantages including an entire team dedicated to selling your house such as stagers, photographers, and many others. I would highly recommend anyone looking to either buy or sell a property in Kelowna to go with Simon and Vantage West. - Kristen Olychuck
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Jul 2021
I was put in contact with Simon last April through Krissy at vantage west. She recommended him and I am very happy she did. Simon was very patient with me throughout searching for the property that suited me best which was big for me working out of town. When we would go out to view properties i felt a good comfort level with Simon as a friend and my realtor which made buying my first house much more comforting. Anybody looking for an honest, hard working and knowledgable agent, Simon is your guy! - Robert Linsley
Property Sale in Kelowna, BC | Mar 2021
Simon was excellent throughout the whole process. We were impressed with his, and the whole vantage west teams, professionalism and unique approach to real estate, right from the first interview. The team put together an excellent video marketing package that got our home showcased in front of thousands of potential buyers, even from out of province, in the middle of a pandemic with travel restrictions. The communication was great throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Simon and the vantage west team! - Carly Schmolke

Simon Ward is absolutely one of the best agents you could possibly work with, hands down! We recently closed on two properties that we absolutely love, all thanks to his boundless efforts and neverending help. He went above and beyond - from the moment we first met, to when we had some tenant troubles a few weeks ago, Simon has always been there with us at every step of the way and he’s definitely earned our trust and future business. As a professional, Simon is efficient, thorough, patient, honest, and highly effective when it comes to getting the deal done right! Thank you to Simon and the entire Vantage West Realty team for helping us make these deals happen, and we look forward to working with you again soon. And if even after reading this review, you find yourself wondering whether or not to call Simon - the answer is yes, you’ll thank me later! - Nickita Nemickin

Simon was awesome! This was our first time buying a home and he started out with making sure we were educated in the home buying process and the market that we were dealing with. He was super patient with us and made sure that we only went for listings that met our criteria. We never felt rushed or pushed - he made us stick to what we wanted.

Our experience with Simon Ward and the team at Vantage West was fantastic. From the start Simon was very professional, and walked us through their entire process. Through their market education Simon helped us to fully understand the process, and the ins and outs of home buying. We feel this went along way in eventually finding the home that was right for us. Simon was always there at a drop of a hat to answer questions or just get stuff done. Simon went over and above through the entire process of purchasing the home, and was even helpful after ensuring we had everything we needed once we are all moved in. - Tyler Murray
