They each bought farmland and have been enjoying the comforts of having a wonderful place to call home. “My family and I felt perfectly comfortable here from the very first moment,” Kelly says. “I think I speak for both of us when I say there’s nowhere else we’d rather live.”
Though they had never met one another prior to moving to the North Okanagan Valley, Kelly & Tammy share a remarkably similar path to how they arrived here. Both spent most of their lives in the Vancouver area, and over the years grew less and less enamored with the hustle and bustle of life in the “big city.” Both had families to care for and wanted a better environment in which to raise their children. Both were passionate about animals and wanted to find a place where they could have plenty of room to roam.
Kelly is a mother of three and Tammy has 2 children and 5 grandchildren. Nothing is more important to either of them than the happiness and well-being of their families. As far as animals go, they have a virtual zoo between them. Kelly has been raising a small herd of llamas for years and also has a number of dogs, cats, and a couple of horses on her farm. Tammy has a number of dogs and sometimes chickens and cows but horses are her real passion. Since she was young, she’s been raising and showing horses in competition. They’ve worked successfully together since 2008 and both love their jobs as realtors mainly because of all the wonderful people they’ve met and helped with their housing needs. Full-time professionals are dedicated to providing positive, enthusiastic, personal service.
When you first meet Kelly you’ll immediately notice that she is almost always smiling. A happy, outgoing person she’ll tell you she found her calling working as a real estate agent. “I love my job so much that sometimes I don’t even feel like I’m working even though I actually am,” she says laughingly. Kelly has worked in and around real estate since the tender age of 19 and has experience in just about every facet of the industry including trust accounting, new construction, advertising and inside marketing. Now she puts all these skills to work in helping people with their real estate goals.
A bundle of energy, she spends her off time enjoying her llamas and mentoring youth through 4-H, voraciously reading, knitting and gardening. Her latest motto to live by: “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”
Tammy grew up on a dairy farm and is certainly no stranger to hard work. Her Dad was a realtor and developer so with his encouragement it was natural for her to follow in his footsteps and become a realtor herself. With a previous background in retail sales and marketing, and a great eye for detail she brings those skills to play in helping people with their real estate needs. “I’m pretty down-to-earth and approachable,” says Tammy, “I want people to feel comfortable when working with them. That’s really important to me.”
She’s another person who is always on the go and spends time as a very active grandparent, breeding horses and enjoying a good horseback ride. She’s branched out of her comfort zone and recently taken on learning to golf. Stay tuned on that one!
Kelly and Tammy are focused on helping you make the most of your real estate opportunities in the North Okanagan Valley. From the moment you begin working with them toward the sale or purchase of your home, you feel confident that they are working with your best interests in mind. They provide the guidance and support you need to feel comfortable with every single one of your important investment decisions.
