Testimonials

It was very nice running into you and your family in the park this weekend. When we left we realized that we hadn’t written a review for you yet, so apologies from us for it being late:

Earlier this year Taras Kinash helped us find a house that’s just perfect for us! We chose Taras as he has an extensive background in architecture as well as real estate. We felt with his diverse experience he could help us locate a property in which we could build a suite, and his skills certainly did prove valuable. He would take us through a property and would be able to discuss what exactly could be done in terms of design, for us to reach our goals. Often he’d draw us up quick little sketches. At times we got excited and were all over the map, but he proved patient. He made it his priority to find us something before Spring, when we had to be out of our rental. His office staff are wonderful too. Professional and personable; we could get questions answered by Taras or his staff promptly, any time. We’d highly recommend Taras Kinash if you’re looking for a realtor in Penticton!

With the amazing assistance of Taras Kinash, we were able to purchase a couple of rental properties with relative ease. Taras has a realistic approach to the Real Estate industry that makes him easy to trust and deal with. His understanding of the current market and the actual construction of properties was above and beyond our expectations. Taras and his team were all very professional, efficient, courteous, on time and a great at communicating with us at all times. I would highly recommend Taras and his team to everyone. They bring quality and professionalism to a whole new level! It was a pleasure working with Taras and his team.

Not enough can be said about Taras! … After 37 years we sold our family home and wanted to retire out of the Lower Mainland. We decided to move to beautiful Penticton. A very old friend referred us to Taras Kinash. After reviewing miscellaneous testimonials and reviews of realtors, we decided Taras’s background and personality was the one to help us find a place to relocate and reinvent ourselves in the retirement years. Taras makes clients feel individually unique. He is enthusiastic, informative, knowledgeable, respectful and energetic. He is honest, caring and he has special skills that doesn’t always come with a realtor designation. We feel that Taras pushed the envelope with the negotiations of our new home in Sendero Canyon. He is always positive, optimistic, professional and at the same time warm, open, and genuine. We have been living in Sendero Canyon for 8 months and if Taras sees us on the street or anywhere in town, he always takes the time to stop and greet us with his big friendly smile. Not many people pass through our lives that are as special as Taras. He sets the bar. Our move and relocation has been smooth and enjoyable and we know Taras helped make this possible… If anyone is in the housing market looking to relocate from anywhere to the Okanagan or perhaps upgrade or downsize in the Okanagan, we would highly recommend Taras Kinash in a flash! Thank you Taras, … for making our home purchase & our new home build such a great experience!

Taras was sensitive to our needs for new a home and as newcomers to the Penticton area we really appreciated his attentiveness and help in understanding the local area and market. We particularly appreciated Taras’s architectural background, nothing beats having a realtor capable of viewing a home with expert insight into both aesthetics and structure.

It's been an incredible journey of 2 years with you with our home purchase. You have been travelling with us in each step and guiding us the right path with our thought process. In fact, we must say, without your guidance, We may not have succeeded with our dream that came true now. Your knowledge sharing, helpfulness, references and advise are fantastic. We have already referred your name to many of my friends for their dream to come true. We did referred these people to you even before my purchase was complete, just because of how well I respect you for helping us in the process. Nevertheless, I must mention our friend and your assistant Manpreet who was helping us in the entire process. She was great. As We have shared with you, it's only a continuing journey and not a one time purchase. I have no one else in my mind with respect to our real estate needs. We are super happy with our home and thanks to you and all your team members who helped one way or the other for this dream that came true now. We are happy that, we not only found a perfect professional for our real estate needs but, also a friend to trust for life. Take care and all the best and continue to help others like me who can only benefit from you.

Taras helped us find our first home. From educating us about the market, what too look for and not to look for, the practical side of house buying to the nitty gritty details, on demand showings and always answering our questions, he was nothing short of spectacular. We had heard of him through a family member and would recommend his services to anyone in the area. We were on a slight time constraint finding a home and Taras went above and beyond. Once we found a home, Taras helped us find a notary, mortgage broker and was with us through every part (he even gave advice for utility start dates and an insurance broker). Even a year later, Taras was easy to contact and helped us find more information about our home. He makes a stressful and heavy process so much easier.

Taras was recommended to me by a co-worker and I'm glad he was because he was a great help. I was a first-time homebuyer and Taras was there the whole way giving advice and recommendations. Taras was straight forward and always around for any questions that might have come up. He conducted himself in a professional manner and had enthusiasm for all aspects of the transaction. Taras worked hard during our process. He clearly enjoys being a real estate agent and it shows in his work!

As first-time home buyers, we needed a ton of hand-holding. Taras was ready and willing to guide us through one of the biggest decisions of our lives. He is friendly, energetic, and knowledgeable and was always accessible and willing to answer our many questions. Taras identified important positives and negatives about each property that reflected our wants and needs. He ensured that we were booked in for viewings of properties of interest as soon as they arrived on the market. Taras worked with us regardless of the hour to put in offers and counter offers, and eventually guided us through the successful purchase of our new home. We don't hesitate to give Taras and Kin Realty our strongest recommendation for your next real estate transaction!

Taras is a phenomenal real estate agent to work with. My husband and I were first time buyers in a difficult market, and he did a fantastic job not only in finding us a wonderful new home, but also in helping us set realistic expectations given the market and keeping us calm throughout the entire process. He was always available to clearly and thoroughly answer questions and to give his advice. There was one day near closing when there must have been 30 or 40 text messages (possibly more) between the three of us and I was amazed at how “there for us” he was through the whole thing. I highly recommend Taras for his exceptional knowledge of the area and the market, his approachable communication style, and his commitment to his clients.
