Steve was highly organized and an excellent communicator. He made us feel like we were his only client. He was up front, honest and very responsive!

We have bought/sold properties (residential and investment) in 3 different countries. We have used real estate agents in all of them and for the most part have never had any problems. We do not hesitate to say Steve is the best. There are fundamentally three things we look for in an agent: 1. honesty and integrity; 2. market and product knowledge; 3. business skill and acumen. Steve excelled in all three.

I sold a modestly priced condo with Steve (~300k). From start to finish, I had so much communication from him, I was flabbergasted. He was so engaged in the sale of my property, I couldn’t believe it. It was as though I was a multi million dollar sale. And that, is the reason I would absolutely recommend him. He treats you as a client the same, whether it’s a one bedroom condo, or a 20 acre property. So happy with him and his support staff.

If you want an agent who goes above and beyond, then Steve Kirk is the Agent to pick. He ticks all the boxes - knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and professional. The best choice I made was calling Steve to help me sell my house and buy my condo. Thank you, Steve.

I wouldn’t hesitate to use Steve again for the purchase or sell of our home! Steve was able to answer questions about the area we were looking in, he provided both pros/cons about each home we looked in that I wasn’t able to see, as well as worked for hours a day while on his vacation! On top of that I felt he was always one step of head and very organized with the mounds of paperwork & signing.
Thanks Steve for your expertise in our recent buy/sell journey!

Our relocation was made easier with Steve's help... his knowledge, guidance and continuous communication about the process, the availability of houses and their neighbourhoods, their overall conditions and locations helped us make a sound and informed decision concerning our purchase of a new home. He was always available when we had questions despite the time difference. He is highly organized, courteous, honest and frank and he has a great sense of humor. We truly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him to anyone who's looking to buy a new home.

We recently moved from Vancouver to Kelowna and Steve Kirk exceeded our families expectations. He was extremely attentive, professional, detailed and was available to answer any questions we had. His knowledge of the Kelowna market is strong and was able to show us homes that met our needs. I've been involved in a few real-estate transactions and Steve was far and away the best agent we've had the pleasure to work with. I will confidently refer anyone to use Steve in the future.

Working with Steve as our realtor helped make our experience as first time home buyers go extremely smooth. Steve gave us all of his attention and took the time to explain every detail and answer all of our questions. He was always there for us when ever we needed him, was prompt to respond and always very informative. He made us feel comfortable with the buying process as it was our first time purchasing a place. It felt as if Steve went above and beyond for us through out the whole process. I felt very confident having Steve as our realtor and would recommend him over and over to anyone who is looking for a realtor. We felt very taken care of and even had Steve help us with something that came up with the seller after we had already moved in. Steve is professional, knowledgeable and a trustworthy realtor, anyone would be lucky to have him on their side when buying or selling! Thank you Steve, we absolutely LOVE our new home and cannot wait to create so many new memories in it.

Steve Kirk, I would decribe him as positive, a realist in the housing market, professional and a pleasure to work with.
It was my First time to buy a house and I had more than enough questions about the housing market, he was patient and knowledgable when it came to explain the real estate concept to me!
Steve Kirk is 10/10! Highly recommended real estate agent.

Trustworthy - Transparent - Effective. I was nervous to sell my property as I have never sold property before and I had a ton of questions. From the start Steve walked me through the entire process and prepared me for the all of the decisions that I would have to make along the way. Working with Steve it felt as though he truly was an extension of my personal team. I never had to worry about if he had my best interests in mind. He was straight forward, he communicated the good and bad news as he got it, and he consistently had thoughtful advice on how to get the best outcome.
Steve was able to sell my property for the amount that we were asking for in a time-frame that was shorter than expected.
I would highly recommend adding Steve to your team if you are considering selling in the Okanagan.

Steve exceeded our expectations as first time home buyers. I had unique needs in that we needed an enclosed art studio space for me to work full time from home. He didn’t try to pressure us into anything that wouldn’t work or try to get us to overlook these unique needs despite our budget being on the lower end. We didn’t give him much to work with but he found the perfect place for us. Granted, it needed a little work, but we were more than willing to put the time into it to create somewhere we can call home. He helped us through the whole process and even provided boxes and offered moving help with his trailer. He followed covid protocol the entire way along and ensured safe contact while we viewed condos.

Steve originally sold us the home we just sold because he did such an outstanding job of getting this home we decided to use him to list it. Through his negotiation, we got almost the asking price... I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steve and his team to anyone. We are moving to Qualicum Beach and we'll miss him...We already have a Remax agent working over there for us. Why Remax? Because they have the most SOLD signs up.

We've used Steve Kirk to buy our very first home ten years ago, and we've just used him again to buy our next property. I would recommend Steve's services without hesitation.
His professional yet easy-going demeanour will make you comfortable to deal with him. Steve's knowledge of in and outs of the purchases is vast, and if he doesn't know something, he always puts it on the backburner and follows up after doing research to bridge the gap. He's also very patient - we've looked at countless properties, put in an offer on a different property, and never ever has he pushed us to complete the sale or shown frustration with our slow process. Anytime we didn't like something, he'd simply say "Let's go to next one" without getting tired of the process and showing nothing but enthusiasm.
He'd create a checklist for us, follow up with us at certain periods of the deal with what needs to be done and addressed. When the deal was about to close, he'd communicate its progress to us with possible problems and solutions. Steve also makes him available anytime for questions and always happy to help, but if he can't he'll get somebody to help us in a timely manner.
Overall, I can safely say that if you're dealing with Steve, you're in good hands and will have a great buying experience. Thanks to Steve we now have a great view in the home of our dreams.
Thank you, Steve!

I would not hesitate to recommend him and appreciate his kind, professional manner during a very stressful time for me, having lived in the house for 35 years. Steve kept me informed and walked me through each step of the process, I feel he negotiated the best price and closing I could hope for.

Steve is amazing! He went above and beyond the call of duty numerous times over and made the whole buying process fun and easy. He is extremely patient and explains everything clearly. No question is treated as a silly question or waste of time. I cannot say enough good about Steve! He is friendly, personable, down to earth and honest. Never once did I feel that he had anything but our best interests at heart. And he was able to negotiate a fantastic deal on the home. I'm still shocked that you were able to pull that off! It says a lot about Steve's ability to put people at ease and how genuine he is. There's no games. Just genuine interest in securing the best deal he can for his client, all while maintaining his high level of integrity.
Steve also went above and beyond by helping to fill information gaps and confusion in the sale of the other home at the coast. This was not required. He did this out of the goodness of his heart and a genuine desire to make the entire process as smooth and comfortable as possible while at the same time ensuring he didn't cross any business or ethical lines. The lower mainland team was very lacking in their service and without Steve's help, this would have been a very different experience. There are no words to express how much we appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and expertise, beyond what you were hired to do. Without having your trusted guidance and advice, I'm not sure we would have made it through that selling process. You recognized a bad situation that was creating an environment of suspicion and doubt and were able to diffuse it. You were instrumental in helping us make sense of that very stressful and confusing situation and we will forever be grateful for your help.
If you are in the market for a home, or looking to sell yours, give Steve a call. You will not regret it! Thank you so much, Steve for all of your hard work and making a stressful time in life, fun and enjoyable! You're the best!

Steve is an an excellent realtor and a very kind-hearted person. While I’m sure there’s no straightforward realty process, ours was definitely on the complicated side, as it involved my daughter and family living in Surrey, moving to Kelowna, and myself and my friend often acting as her people on the ground. Steve stepped into the challenge of finding the dream home for a family of six, and kept my daughter, myself and my friend equally involved throughout the process while still preserving my daughter’s autonomy as the person actually buying the house.
He answered all of our questions, and more, with thoroughness and attention to detail, and there were a lot of questions. A lot! Our combination knowledge of purchasing a house in 2019 was very limited! Steve schooled us in what to look for, what to stay away from, and really helped us to find the right property. His local knowledge is excellent, and it really showed.
Once we were viewing houses, Steve’s knowledge of houses and the strengths and weaknesses of each property we saw was excellent. He helped us think through what would work now for a young family, and what would work as the children got older. His knowledge of property construction, and the pitfalls to look for, was also excellent. I always felt that he was giving us fair, honest, unbiased advice, particularly as we were definitely getting attached to different properties as we saw them - he still made us stop and consider all the factors of our favourite views.
Steve not only dealt with the final sale of the negotiations here excellently, but he dealt with both families in a considerate manner - the family moving into their retirement home, and the young family moving into their dream home. Throughout, he has stayed it touch with emails, and given lists of all the things that need to be done. While buying, selling, and moving are all stressful, Steve has done everything in his power to make it as smooth as possible.
I am so grateful for everything that Steve has done for our family. My granddaughters are about to start on a pretty amazing life in Kelowna, in an incredible house and this simply wouldn’t have happened without Steve.

Steve Kirk is one of those few realtors that genuinely care about you getting the house you are looking for, not just to “make the sale”. Unless you are buying a new build, then there is always concessions for buying a previously owned home. My wife and I looked at 100’s of homes online from the lower mainland, when we liked a few choices - Steve & his brother Mike ALWAYS made time for us to view the houses.
We were very broad in looking for an option for both of us, Steve guided us through all of them. Was able to answer our questions about the various neighbourhoods we were possibly interested in from the lower Mission to Lake Country.
Thanks - Steve, great job!
Thanks for the help, guidance and understanding of purchasing a home that we want instead of finding one that'll just work. We have already recommended him to our lower mainland selling realtor Sarah Toop as an excellent referral candidate for her clients relocating to Kelowna. We have highly recommended using Steve to our family & friends who will be joining us in Kelowna.

Steve Kirk is a rare combination of professionalism and personability. Highly knowledgeable, always asking the right questions, providing solid solutions, preforming the background work like a champion and keeping me confident my interests were being looked after in a way you don’t often find these days. Throughout the entire process Steve worked diligently and effectively to bring together a complex transaction by providing information, following through in a timely manner and keeping the fire lite when others stalled out.
There’s a job done well, and then there’s an exceptionally well done job. That’s Steve Kirk.

Steve was professional in all aspects of our business interactions together. He is very friendly and personable, which made the somewhat stressful selling experience, enjoyable.
We found him to be very knowledgeable about the buy/sell process. He was willing to find information that he did not have or for questions he was unable to answer.
We found Steve to be honest, and direct about everything we needed to know regarding our property and the best way to go about getting it ready to put on the market.
We got much more than professional services expected and received much appreciated support when more than a few problems surfaced during the moving process.
Not only does Steve possess the skill-set for being an excellent realtor; he is also a caring person who goes the extra mile for his clients.

Steve excelled in all three.
