Welcome to KelownaProperties.com by Walker Real Estate

“We were looking for awhile, and Geralynn kept in contact with us without being a bother. All being done long distance. We felt she was very trustworthy.”

“Ethan came highly recommended to us from our mortgage broker. He was extremely focused and attentive to our needs, was always quick to reply with answers to questions and made the whole process a lot easier than either my fiance or I, could have imagined. His knowledge of local neighbourhoods, punctuality, and professionalism were superb. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to lay roots in this wonderful area.”

“Diana was very easy to talk to. Understood what I was looking for and found it. She kept me very informed in the whole process. She was always available to answer questions. She was Fabulous . I would recommend her anytime. She was so approachable and respectful in her manner. Everything was handled in a business like manner, and she always made sure I understood all the paperwork. All went smoothly. Have been in sales my entire working life and have met some irratating sales people, Diana is not one of these. Soft spoken and not pushy, really a genuine, caring person.”

“Diana Sposato was amazing with local knowledge and did a fantastic job educating me on the Kelowna market while working with me out of town. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for professional service! She is the best!”

“Geralynn was both very personal as well as professional. I think she took my situation and respected what my needs were. Totally open and honest with no pressure. I was more than comfortable working wit her and would have her as my agent any time. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an agent. Thank you Geralynn”

“We used Ethan Rutley 3 yrs ago when we moved to Kelowna and he was very good and helpful. When we decided to upgrade our home, we decided to ask for Ethan's help again. Ethan was very helpful with every aspect of the buying and purchasing of our new home. He went above and beyond when he came over to take a look at the attic due to mold issues.”

“I met Ethan Rutley in 2014 when I inquired about a property in 2014. I never forget how detailed oriented and professional he was. Even though I did not buy the property at the time, Ethan continued to send me updated information on current listings. He never removed me from his email listing, so naturally, when this house was offered for sale, I telephoned him right away. Since then, throughout the entire process, Ethan continued to be extremely professional and knowledgeable about the market. As time goes by, I began seeking advice and I realize that his feedback/advice is very valuable and credible. Believe me, Ethan Rutley is a very comfortable, honest and accommodating person to talk to. I would recommend anyone to him, especially those first time home buyers, navigating the real estate market for the first time. You want to deal with someone who knows what they are doing.”

“Diana is a very knowledgable realtor , punctual , fun and just darn good”

“professional all the way”

“Long Distance real estate transactions can be difficult and frustrating....From the moment I met Geralynn on the telephone I knew she would be a pleasure to work with. She was attentive, enthusiastic with a wonderful sense of humor peppered in with her professional attitude. Thank you Geralynn for making this a positive experience!”

“Ethan is always professional, responsive, willing to go above and beyond. This was essential to have a broker we trusted as we live elsewhere. He was our eyes and ears with his feet on the ground providing us with regular updates and problem solving way beyond expectations. He is honestly the best realtor/broker we have ever dealt with.”

“Ethan Rutley was recommended to us by good friends who had recently relocated to Kelowna, and who were very happy with Ethan's services and the property they purchased. Being out-of-town buyers, Ethan's local knowledge was invaluable to us, and he very quickly grasped exactly what kind of home and neighbourhood we were seeking. Unfortunately, we then had to deal with a number of difficult offers that fell through due to unforeseen or unreasonable actions/circumstances involving the sellers. Ethan handled these situations professionally and reassuringly on our behalf, which was especially important considering our physical absence. Thanks to Ethan's relentless efforts, we finally found our home and couldn't be happier with the outcome. We highly recommend working with Ethan!”

“Thanks Joanne. I appreciate the way you look after your clients interest above all else”

“I would highly recommend using Ethan Rutley as a realtor. He was fantastic in every aspect of my condo purchase. He is knowledgeable, reliable, honest, and was always quick to respond to my millions of questions - top notch!”

“Because of past bumps in the road, I think that this 3rd time Ethan showed me he really was attentive to my needs, and went full out to close the deal, I think he really understood. I also think he was able to communicate effectively to listing broker, in order to facilitate the closing of the deal. Ethan has proved he is much more confident ! WELL DONE! the only reason I would give him good on communication is when I was ready to offer , and stated my offer price, he waited till after I told him the offer price, to tell me they were lowering the listing price on the house....that should have been communicated to me , the minute Ethan knew. I will give my business to Walker again, and refer them, but I do think that this being my 3rd time doing business the owner should make an effort to say hello, when I attended the office....just saying...”

“Best decision choosing Geralyn! She did everything right and made it a special experience for buying my first home!”

“We had a bad experience with another broker. Ethan seemed like a go-getter and was understanding of our needs. Ethan knows Kelowna well and so was very helpful when it was time to view homes. I am very particular about things as I knew what we were looking for and Ethan was very patient. I would use Ethan as my realtor again and would certainly recommend him to someone else. Ethan is very professional and friendly and is very comfortable to be with.”

“Ethan is a pleasure to work with - his objectivity and local knowledge helped us tremendously.”

“With out a doubt i would recommend Diana Sposato as your next Realestate Agent! I think during the process of looking for a home we found a friend. Working with Diana was an absolute dream! She was always astute and professional. Her attention to detail and personalized engagement gave us insight and confidence in our purchase. Diana thank you for your time and energy making our dreams become a reality... especially in todays expanded sellers market where finding true value can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, an honest agent, whose priority is Your business, is the only key to success. ( I really hope that doesn't sound too cheesy but it really was just that awesome::) David James Doody”

“Joanne Gage was easy to be around, fun to talk with, and she got the job done quickly, which in my opinion, is very important. Joanne Gage is professional, and she replies instantly, with or without an answer... she let's you know she's working on it. We were happy with her, no fuss, no muss, right to the point, the way we like.”

“Joanne took the initiative to politely call and touch bases with me when I was browsing listings. Her pleasant manner and years of experience were definitely a contributing factor to my selection of an agent. Thank you Joanne for making my home purchase process easier, your assistance, patience, and understanding has been greatly appreciated.”

“We have dealt with Ethan in the past and we were very happy with the experience we had last time. Again, he proved himself in his knowledge of what we wanted. He listened to our needs and didn't waste our time showing us properties that we would not be interested in. We would highly recommend him to friends and family.”

“Diana is a wonderful broker. She represents your interests and goes to work to make sure you are getting the best deal. She pays attention to details and communicates efficiently and clearly on all aspects of the deal. We could not have picked a better broker. Looking forward to working with Diana again in the near future.”

“Within a week of listing my condo, I had 3 offers. Diana has a fabulous sense of interior design and was able to stage my condo using my own furniture at no added expense to myself. If you are looking for a prompt, professional and competent realtor, then Diana is the one for you!”

“Ethan made the process as seamless as possible, and made time for us whenever we needed. Treated us as if we were his only client.”

“Diana offers personalized service, with professionalism and care. Thanks to her knowledge and experience, our home buying was less stressful. Highly recommended!”

“Ethan, after a brief consultation filtered out the properties that did not meet our criteria. Once these were established he took us to only the properties he thought we would like. This saved our time and his. He was very "intuitive" to our needs.”

“We have purchased a home before in Saskatchewan as well as had a different agent in Kelowna, Geralynn is by far the best Realtor we have dealt with. Geralynn is one of the easiest people to get along with that I have ever met. She made house hunting fun and really knew what we were looking for. She actually cared about us! She is fantastic.”

“I knew Ethan from Cross fit. I saw the car and started the conversation about Big White. He knew a lot about Big White and was motivated to help find us a place. Super easy on line process to purchase Ethan is very easy to talk to, very positive attitude, not pushy in any way, very quick to respond to emails/texts/phone. Super fit too!”

“We were really impressed with Mark Walker and his professional staff. His marketing team had a major impact on the sale and was a key factor in us obtaining the maximum value for our house. Thank you to Mark Walker Real Estate and his entire team!”

“Mark helped us find our dream home and made owing it a reality.”

“I couldn't t have done it without Ethan. His knowledge and expertise made the process fun and easy. Ethan kept me organized and on track. Thanks Ethan!”

“She provided me with the expertise and patient kindness that I really needed at a stressful time in my life. Selling your home is always stressful and anxiety producing.Joanne guided me through the process step by step.She was aware of my needs and was always available for any questions. I felt that she truly had my best interests at heart.”

“Mark Walker was excellent every step of the way with both the purchase of our new condo and the sale of our house. He listened to what we wanted and how we wanted it done and accommodated our requests completely. He offered great advice and was not offended, or 'put out'. if we decided not to follow it. Communication was excellent with great accessibility by phone or email, at all hours. Mark is extremely knowledgable, having completed thousands of transactions, which means he kept a cool head and never got emotional. His negotiating skills were also bad ass. He saved and made us, a lot of dollar. If you want a straight talking, direct and honest realtor, then Mark Walker is your man. It's extremely rare that we work with someone and are 100% satisfied with the process and outcome and so far I can honestly say I'm 100% satisfied. His supporting cast were also outstanding especially our 'showing agent' Carole.”

“Joanne was very friendly and professional. When speaking with her It felt like I had already known her for a long time. I felt very trustworthy of her expertise and knowledge. Joanne made herself available at all times and answered any questions or requests that we had very promptly. She was very personable and a pleasure to work with.”

“I had done an internet search and typically most listings can be found on a multitude of sites. I made some inquires on a different property than the one we ultimately bought, but Geralynn was the first to respond, was very helpful and put us at ease right from the start. She is professional and looked after us and made sure that our best interests were looked after. We knew what we wanted and Geralynn listened and did not try to sell us on something she wanted but she made sure we got what we wanted. Geralynn recommended an inspector who came on a Saturday morning along with Geralynn and they both worked to make sure that everything was as it should be. That was critical to us since we do not live in Kelowna. We were concerned about sound in the condo we were buying and Geralynn helped the inspector by making noise in various locations including running a washing machine and dryer to check sound levels in the unit which were all included in the report. We were also concerned about plumbing issues, but again the inspector was thorough including thermal images which helped to confirm the plumbing as well as electrical. When the time came to look after the legal end of the transaction, Geralynn put us in contact with a local firm who again looked after our needs. In Kelowna, Geralynn is the realtor I will use in the future! Thank you so much Geralynn!”

“Geralynn is a fantastic person to deal with she gets what your needs are she is always there within minutes of texting her when needing information and she is fun to be around I love the fact she is great at her job and she just makes looking at so many homes as we have been shows us so much in the areas that are needs were she has a wonderful personality and we will always call Geralynn Gage when my husband or a family member or friends who need a agent we will call on her I trust no one like I do Geralynn Gage thank you”

“Diana is a well rounded, highly professional Agent. She is detailed oriented and is able to deliver results for her clients. I would highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for an agent that is dedicated to delivering on your wants and needs.”

“Diana did an amazing job working with us to find and purchase our first home. She was helpful and knowledgeable with our many questions and patient with us as we worked to find our perfect fit. We would highly recommend Diana and Walker Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell their n the Kelowna area.”

“Ethan is friendly, easy to work with, responded to communication very quickly, honest about pros and cons of houses. Early on in working relationship, he was "coachable" and adaptable to make his working approach ideal for us. Ethan went above and beyond on a very quick timeline and with unexpected circumstances. We definitely felt that he had *our* best interests in mind, and prioritized us. He truly took his fiduciary responsibility to us as a realtor seriously, and this ultimately resulted in us being able to purchase the home. Other realtors may not have gone out of their way like he did. He made being a first-time home buyer both exciting and enjoyable, and we're very happy with our new home.”

“Ethan proved to be very patient while working with us over many months. He kept in touch with us as our situation kept changing with patience and understanding. Ethan didn't waste our time looking at properties that he hadn't researched to be sure that our dog and cat would both be allowed and we found the perfect condo on the first day. Thank you to you for being so professional !”

“We always found Joanne to be readily available to view properties. Very pleasant to deal with. Kept in touch with us, and was readily able to answer questions by telephone or email. I would recommend Joanne Gage to clients searching for a home or selling theirs. She is a well-informed realtor and was very helpful to both my husband and myself.”

“Mark and his team were a pleasure to work with, they are true professionals and made the buying experience seamless and extremely easy. I will recommend Mark to family, friends and colleagues.”

“Mark provided the ultimate client experience. Mark is knowledgeable and savvy and he does a great job of managing expectations. Mark is completely trustworthy and made the selling process an enjoyable one.”

“Diana is a great person all around....Very approachable and had great attention to detail. Wouldn't hesitate recommending her expertise to anyone....”

“Best agent i have ever hadvthe pleasure of dealing with. Got me my dream property! Thank you.”

“Ethan Rutley was a pleasure to deal with. When I first met Ethan, it was a little over a year and half ago. I knew I wanted to move to Kelowna from the coast. Though it took time and planning. Ethan showed me all new areas of Kelowna, spent half his day with me. I was very intrigued by his knowledge for the Okanagan, Places to buy and where not to buy. Though it took a year and a half to finally make a purchase, Ethan followed up with me every month. Always kept in touch which was a huge thing for me. When I finally found this place, we acted fast. Got the deal locked up. We are finally completing the whole process. Very happy to work with Ethan Rutley! I will definitely be dealing with him on my next purchases!”

“Very friendly, patient and professional. We will use his service again. We appreciated his efforts to learn about BC rental law.”

“Ethan takes all of the stress out of home buying & selling. Even with our quick sale and hiccups from our lender along the way, Ethan was able to to make this an enjoyable and exciting experience. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients. Thanks Ethan! Ethan is just awesome. He took care of everything. He even helped us to clean the condo we were moving from, and went alone with the movers to the new house because we needed to meet our layers for the last details of the transaction. We couldn't have done it without him! We will recommend his service without any hesitation.”

“Teresita Magday Vancouver BC When I listed my property with Walker Real State,We just came sign the contract and wait till someone give us the offer we want and we dont need to stress ourselves thinking about that place,When Ethan get a good offer he called and we are happy with the offer and we say yes!
