Yes, absolutely — in fact, a significant portion of our owners live outside the valley or outside the province in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and beyond.

On behalf of the team at Vantage West Realty Inc. - Property Management Division, if your property is in the Okanagan, we can manage it no matter where you live.

Our service area is the Okanagan Valley, not where you live.

We are based in Kelowna at 1060 Manhattan Drive, and our target areas are Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Lake Country, Peachland, and their suburbs, including Penticton and neighbouring communities.

So if you own a condo, townhouse, or house in the Okanagan but live in the Lower Mainland, Alberta, or Ontario — that's exactly what we do.

How we make remote ownership truly hands-off

We understand your landlord concerns better than anyone because we are landlords too. We are managed by investors for investors — we treat your property as an asset, not just a building.

For out-of-town or out-of-province owners, we handle everything locally so you don't have to travel or coordinate from afar:

1. Full-Service Real Estate Management: From marketing and advertising your rental unit to finding tenants, lease execution, and offering regular maintenance and inspections, we do it all.

2. Tenant & Legal: Rigorous tenant screening, strict lease enforcement, timely rent collection, and full compliance with BC Residential Tenancy Branch rules.

3. Maintenance & Inspections: We handle all the property-related management requests, take work order requests, hire service personnel, negotiate with contractors, and ensure active preventative maintenance. Our managers have detailed inspection checklists and a strong network of skilled trades who don't charge retail rates.

4. Financial Management for Remote Owners: It's more than rent collection. We organize expenses, track profitability, and do a semi-annual review to systematically quantify your returns, creating reports that give you an accurate idea of how well your property is doing. You get monthly owner statements, direct deposit, and digital access to all documents.

Communication is remote-friendly — email, phone, and owner portal updates — with office hours Mo-Fr 08:30-16:30.

Why out-of-town investors choose us

Based in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, we have a 4.8 stars rating on Google with 425 reviews (as of Aug. 19th, 2026), we've won the Consumer Choice Award for best property manager in Kelowna twice, and we were voted Best of Kelowna 2025 Gold & Best of Kelowna 2026 Silver for property management.

We are a management firm for people who have chosen real estate as their vehicle to wealth and financial freedom. Managed by investors for investors you need a manager that understands your property is not just a building or a house, it is an asset, and needs to be managed as one. Some of our owners live in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and elsewhere — their properties are here in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Lake Country, Peachland and surrounding Okanagan Valley, BC communities.

What that means for you when you live out of town:

1. Full-Service Leasing That Minimizes Vacancy
Every day your property sits empty, it's costing you money. We treat leasing with urgency — professional listings, pro photos, and placement across major platforms and local networks to attract qualified renters fast.

Our one-time leasing fee is all-inclusive: reviewing the property’s condition, pricing according to comps and market, taking high-quality photos and writing detailed ads, advertising online, scheduling showings, handling inquiries, screening, and completing the move-in inspection.

2. Rigorous Screening + Real Guarantees
Most managers screen for the basics. We screen for fit. Every applicant goes through credit, income verification, rental history, employment and references.

And we back it: We'll replace your tenant at no cost — guaranteed — if they don't stay at least six months. If any renter chosen by us leaves your rental in under three months, we cover the cost of finding a new tenant.

3. Move-In / Move-Out Protection
Every tenancy starts with a thorough property inspection, detailed condition reporting, and clear documentation that protects you if things go sideways. Same level of review at move-out, accurate deposit reconciliation, and getting the property ready for the next occupant without delays.

4. Rent Collection & Lease Enforcement — You Never Chase Income
You should never have to chase your own income. We run a consistent, automated collection process that keeps payments on schedule and creates a clear paper trail.

A lease only protects you if someone is willing to enforce it. We handle noise complaints, unauthorized occupants, pet violations and more directly, professionally, and within BC tenancy law — so you stay out of the middle.

5. Maintenance From a Distance
We handle all the property-related management requests throughout the tenancy. We take work order requests, hire service personnel, negotiate with contractors, draw up purchase orders, and ensure active preventative maintenance.

Protecting your property’s physical integrity is a top priority. We respond promptly to both routine and emergency requests, utilizing a network of trusted local contractors to ensure quality work at fair prices.

6. Financial Management Built for Remote Owners
At Vantage West Property Management, we’re completely transparent about our fees — and you won’t find any hidden costs in our management agreement. At Vantage West, we charge 10 percent of the rent we collect in our management fees, with discounts that go as low as 8 percent when you own multiple doors.

Our wide range of accounting services is added to your monthly management fee, so there are no hidden charges.

That includes:

  • Rent collection, monthly reports, crafting capital improvement budget, processing payables/receivables, annual & semi-annual reviews, and preparing tax returns
  • We do a semi-annual review to systematically quantify your returns, creating black and white reports that give you an accurate idea of how well your property is doing
  • Online portals for owners and tenants to track accounts from anywhere and anytime
  • Once we collect rent, we electronically deposit your owner’s fund each month directly to your bank accounts
  • Monthly clear financial statements and year-end packages ready for your accountant

Our Guideline for Success — The Investor Approach
An annual review with a dually licensed professional in both real estate sales and rental property management, and more importantly a fellow real estate investor, should be a cornerstone to any engagement. At this review, a thorough analysis of ROI for each property is performed and a proactive game plan to improve performance takes place.

We focus on three pillars continually:

  • Tenant relations to maximize rents and minimize vacancy
  • Efficient maintenance management to increase value and reduce expenses
  • Proper financial management to reduce expenses and solidify cash-flow

For owners in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal or beyond: If your property is in the Okanagan, we are your local Kelowna property management team on the ground.
