In Stephanie's Own Words:
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.

Home Purchase in Harwood, Vernon | Nov 2022
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

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

Home Sale in South Pandosy-KLO, Kelowna | Nov 2022
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

Condo Purchase in North Central, Kelowna | Sep 2022
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

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

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

Home Purchase in Kelowna | Mar 2022
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
Home in Wilden, Kelowna | Jun 2022
Hello fellow homeowners! I previously posted after the sale of our condo, and now have moved into our new home.

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
Commercial Property Purchase in Vernon | Apr 2022
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

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.

She made negotiating a crazy market a simple and straight forward process, thank goodness! - Clare Marriott

Condo Purchase in Downtown Kelowna, Kelowna, BC | May 2022
Stephanie was great to work with on our recently purchased condo in downtown Kelowna.

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
Townhome Sale in North Glenmore, Kelowna, BC | Mar 2022
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

They take the stress out of navigating the realistate market. - Sabrina Lukkarinen
Condo Sale in Kelowna, BC | Jun 2022
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

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.

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

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

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
