"We are very pleased with the sale of our home that we listed with Beate of Thrive Okanagan Realestate. It was a little challenging as we were out of the country for most of the listing period but managed to complete the sale from afar thanks to modern technology. Much appreciated."

"We contacted Steve around noon with a list of lengthy questions regarding the purchase of a property. Within 30 minutes he had everyone of our questions answered and he even shed some light on ones we hadn’t even thought of yet.
We touched base again around 5 and within an hour the paperwork was drawn up and an offer that we were happy with was sent.
@ 10:00 pm Steve had struck a deal and the final paper work was sent and accepted! I cannot believe the work he did in such a short period of time to secure or dream property and soon to become our dream home.
An absolute pleasure working with a true professional that puts his clients first.
Thanks Steve"

"We found Beate, knowledgeable and realistic about the market . She was sensitive to the emotional toll selling our home of nearly 30 years took. She kept us fully updated and guided us through the process of completing the sale in a kind yet professional manner"

"Jen and Steve make an excellent team, they collaborate and have made sure I am always aware of which stages we are at in the purchase process. I feel like I have been protected against any uncertainties, Jen is very thorough.
Jen has taken care of every aspect of my transaction with kindness and utmost professionalism. I’ve had unusual financing requirements and Jen has been creative and resourceful finding alternatives. I will be seeking out Jen again when I sell this home in the future and move to Kelowna."

Jenn showed me houses over face time, made my life as easy as possible and was always there to help with any questions or concerns that I had.
I want to thank jenn and her team for staying patient and always going the extra mile for my family’s needs and finding our house. Thank you!!"

"It was great having Beate represent us again for the third time in 17 years. Although we do not expect to need realty services again in BC, we would ask her again if we would need future representation.
Nothing to add other than keep up the good work :)

Recommendation
"After struggling for months on finding a home with a different realtor my wife and I felt like we were getting nowhere. I decided to post in a local Facebook group that I was looking for a realtor, many suggestions were made but Jen was the first to reach out. I told Hen what I needed to see from a Realtor and she did just that. Other realtors would simply add me to their portal but not actually talk to me they just waited for me to call them. Jen discussed on the phone all my needs and then went straight to work with her team finding places that would work for us.
The first time we went out we found our new home. What I had previously thought was a home that was sold because my previous realtor never mentioned it. Not only did she help us find this home but in this crazy market where everything is going for over list price we negotiated a lower price.
Jen then pulled another rabbit out of her hat by getting us an appraisal done before subject removal without needing to get an extension. When we were being told that it could take up to an extra week by the Mortgage Broker.
Way to go Jen and Team Thrive. When all was looking bleak you pulled off Mission Impossible."

"Steve’s team did an excellent job. Very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Beate Schmidt is a top notch agent going above and beyond what people would expect. If you don’t hire Beate you haven’t got the best so call her and forget about the rest"

"Loyalty/Relationships are top priority for us when choosing a broker. I have dealt with Beate for over 17 years and will continue to do so for future sales. I think relationships are crucial as Beate understands what we are looking for and we trust her with our dealings."

"Choosing a broker, for us, was to a great degree about how well we felt we could communicate with the broker. We had to be comfortable in discussing all the aspects of the sale.
Steve was one of the biggest reasons we stuck with Thrive as the only agency to sell our home.
Steve worked hard and worked persistently for our house sale. The sale took a while because of the nature of our house and price point, but Steve kept us informed and kept using all the tools at his disposal to make the sale happen."

"We would highly recommend Steve Wikkerrink of Thrive Okanagan and his team to anyone and friends and family !
He and his team were very knowledgeable and professional and always available to answer questions.
Communication was easy via text or email or phone calls.
Steve Wikkerrink really went over and above even after the sale and that speaks to his character as a person."

"I needed a realtor who knew our area of interest, its growth rate, demographics, and a clear understanding of the real estate potential. Steve came through for me in a big way and I can unreservedly recommend Steve as your agent (unless you are bidding against me, then I want him on my side). Its hard to know if you are getting a good agent or not but this one is now my favourite."

"Our home sold on the first day of being listed! And we had a full-priced offer! This showed us that Beate's price suggestion was perfect!
Beate is a top-notch professional and we are very grateful for her personalized, friendly service. We feel very well taken care of.
I do not hesitate in recommending Beate and the Thrive Okanagan team to anyone thinking about selling their home."
