Testimonials

We have dealt with several real estate agent over the years and no one has put in the same amount of time and attention to detail as Taras. We feel so lucky to have had him as out agent. Very professional, but also a really nice person.

Taras Kinash was instrumental to our successful purchase of a vacation property in Penticton. He listened carefully to all of our criteria and found properties that met or exceeded these needs. Viewing real estate with Taras was awesome! Taras was eager, energetic and always optimistic in our real estate search. Being an out of province Buyer, Taras kept in constant communication with us and made himself available to show property whenever we were in Penticton. Taras’s experience in property development and building design was very helpful in determining the potential of each home we viewed. It feels good to know that my real estate representative understands how homes are built, how they can be altered and all the planning and permitting that is required to remodel a home. He spent hours with us in one property helping us envision its potential redesign options. He was patient and gave us the space and time to make a decision on which property we eventually wanted to make an offer on. In terms of creating a purchase offer and the subsequent negotiations, Taras explained the real estate purchase process clearly to us and drafted a compelling offer/contract which we felt protected our interests. We appreciate that Taras presented our offer to the Sellers in person. Taras made a great impression with the Sellers, and he has informed us that the Sellers have referred him to other friends and family. We also had recommended Taras to a friend who purchased property with him. With our purchase offer, he was able to negotiate a great price and reasonable terms of sale for us. He was simply amazing in his congenial negotiation tactics and gave nothing less than 100% effort to make the process of purchasing our home hassle free and smooth. Our purchase was not straight forward yet Taras managed it professionally and calmly. Taras was thorough in researching the home, property history, making sure all permits were granted, and helped us assess the property for potential expansion in the future. We were very happy with the other professionals Taras referred to us, specifically our home inspector and lawyer. We felt assured that Taras performed the highest standard of due diligence. We are very satisfied with our lakefront home and enjoy everything that it has to offer. Taras helped us find a home that met our criteria and needs and as a result we are over the moon happy with the property. He is a great resource and his service extends beyond our sale date. Taras still communicates with us regularly and is always happy to help whenever we need assistance with our home, whether it is to recommend an air conditioner repair technician, or a dock installer, Taras is on hand. He is not only the real estate expert we trust, he is a friend who cares about our home and our life in the

Okanagan. We are considering purchasing another investment property and Taras is our man!

I looked at a few different properties in Penticton and Taras was able to identify important details in the properties history and point out significant positives and negatives to each property. He conducted himself in a professional manner and had enthusiasm for all aspects of the transaction. Taras worked hard during our process which included helping me close a deal while in Spain, he clearly enjoys being a real estate agent and it shows in his work!

TARAS! Thank you for all your help and hard work! We found it!! I really appreciate everything you did on my behalf; all the house showings, all the late evenings explaining contracts, the house call and getting your car stuck in the snow. You are really awesome at your job! I know you'll go far. I'll recommend you to everyone. Thank you!

Taras Kinash has been a fantastic realtor for myself & my family . Over the past 8 months, my parents and my sister have moved within Penticton and I have purchased a rental property in Penticton. Altogether Taras has assisted with 4 real estate transactions for us in that short period of time & every one has been FUN & put us WAY AHEAD. It is a pleasure to work with Taras, as he is the complete professional, with exceptional attention to detail, yet totally relaxed and INTERESTED in his clients. His background in architectural design comes through constantly in his sage advice to both buyers and sellers. I only wish we had met him earlier as my parents struggled to sell the old family home with multiple, seemingly indifferent local realtors. Thank you for everything ,Taras !!!

We came in contact with Taras from a simple phone call inquiring about one of the new developments being built in Penticton, and are we ever glad we did. Taras assisted us in purchasing and designing our new home. We couldn't have lucked out more as he is friendly, hard working, energetic and genuine. Being from out of town, we didn't want to make multiple house hunting trips and didn't have too. Taras listened to our wish list and knew exactly what we were looking for. He was so tuned in to what we wanted, he was able to deliver on the first house hunting trip. Throughout the building of our house, Taras would send us pictures and updates and kept us in the loop as to what was happening. The entire process from initial offer to moving in was smooth and we couldn't be happier. Thank you so much TK!!!!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Taras Kinash of the Green Kinash Real Estate Group, RE/MAX Penticton Realty. My husband and I had recently retired and were relocating to the Penticton area.Taras told us he would find us our dream retirement home and he did not disappoint! We were in town visiting for a few days and we had made arrangements to meet with Taras at his office in Penticton. We fully expected to view some homes on our first day but much to our surprise Taras had other plans in mind.Our first day was an orientation to the city of Penticton and surrounding communities.Since we were unfamiliar with the layout this tactic turned out to be an ingenious idea. Taras was very knowledgeable in the cities history,past, present and future developments.His resourcefulness in the various communities was a bonus as he was able to list pros and cons that may help us with our decision.Since we lived on the coast sometimes it was not always easy to see a house when it came on the market.When able to,I would fly into the Penticton airport and Taras was always there to pick me up and escort me to the homes to view.I don’t know that that is in all Realtors job descriptions but he never hesitated at my request.

Buying a home can be an extremely stressful time and Taras was always patient and professional in every way.He researched the legalities of land titles,land surveys,easement access,etc. Taras’s recommendation of Home Inspectors, septic Inspection professional’s always yielded the best in the business. When we did find the house that had everything on our wish list and other offers were on the table , I know it was Taras who worked diligently to secure our position and get us our dream home.We certainly appreciated his hard work.

We have been in our home for almost a month and I can’t believe how lucky we are.We love the location,community,tranquility and everyone that visit us are in awe.Taras was right,he DID find us our dream home.We are very grateful and blessed to have been able to work with Taras Kinash.

Taras was excellent and extremely diligent in helping us purchase our investment property in Penticton. He was patient with all our questions and very supportive when we had some last minute issues from the bank and insurance company. He went above and beyond to explain the process with us, listen to our concerns and help us negotiate the offer with appropriate advice on conditions to ensure that there were no surprises. He was always positive and upbeat and a pleasure to work with. He really loves Penticton and is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market there. We have no hesitation recommending Taras.

Taras Kinash is truly a remarkable real estate agent. He understood my husband and my needs in purchasing an investment/holiday home in Penticton. Taras found us one promptly that was such a good fit for our family. I really appreciated Taras' extensive understanding of architecture and design which helped us envision the, "what could be". He is on the pulse with the market and knows where to invest in the revitalization of Penticton. Whatever your real estate needs I would strongly recommend Taras Kinash as your agent. He is not only good at what he does but he truly cares about his clients. Very grateful and hope to have Taras represent us again in the near future.
