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.

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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Nov 2020
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

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

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
Property Sale in Kelowna, BC | Dec 2020
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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Nov 2020
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

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

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
Property Sale in Kelowna, BC | Oct 2020
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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Sep 2020
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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Oct 2020
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

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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Aug 2020
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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Aug 2020
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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Aug 2020
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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Aug 2020
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

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
Property in Kelowna, BC | Jul 2020
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

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
Property in Kelowna, BC | Jun 2020
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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | 2020
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

Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Jul 2020
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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Jun 2020
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
Property Sale in Kelowna, BC | Jul 2020
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
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Jun 2020

Stephanie’s slogan of “... for all things Real Estate related, I am always here to help” is exactly who is she.

If you want the best, Stephanie is your girl :) - Kimberly Ballard
Property Purchase in Kelowna, BC | Feb 2020
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
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
