Fil Strycharek is a Sales Consultant, Sr. Partner, and Top Producer at Vantage West Realty. He specializes in luxury sales, first-time purchases, and real estate portfolio management – all while acting as a mentor for new agents in our office. With a background in hospitality management, team building, and training, Fil brings a service mindset to the table that’s won him more office awards than any other Vantage West Realtor, including: · The World-class Award for his positive attitude and unflinching work ethic · The 5-Star General Award for having the most 5-star reviews in the office · The Mastery Award for showing true mastery in real estate · The Lifestyle Award for taking just as good care of himself and his family as he does with his clients Before taking his Peak Producers course and becoming a first-class realtor, Fil managed the bar at Joey’s Kelowna, opened Milestones Restaurants across Canada, and trained staff at one of Kelowna’s top restaurants, Raudz Regional Table. Fil moved to Kelowna from Europe at the ripe age of 1 and still calls the Okanagan home almost 40 years later. When he’s not working, he loves travelling the globe, sampling local wineries and restaurants, and getting outdoors with his wife and two young boys for hiking, beaching, or snowboarding trips throughout the Okanagan.
Working with Fil and Jane at Vantage West Realty was an absolute pleasure throughout our home buying journey. Their patience and understanding as we navigated through various properties to find the perfect fit for our needs was truly amazing. They were incredibly knowledgeable, offering candid advice and guidance every step of the way. Their ability to explain real estate concepts in simple terms ensured that we felt empowered and informed throughout the entire process. Additionally, Michelle's exceptional follow-up at Vantage West Realty exceeded our expectations. From ensuring we had all the necessary documents prepared to even providing us with a comprehensive moving checklist, she went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition into our new home. Also receiving a personalized message from AJ Hazzi, the founder and managing broker at Vantage, seeking our feedback on the process showcased a level of commitment to customer satisfaction that is truly remarkable. Overall, the first-class service we received from Fil, Jane, Michelle, and the entire team at Vantage West Realty made our home buying experience not only easy but also memorable. Thank you again to the entire team - Todd Weitzel
Reply: Thanks so much Todd & Sasha. The whole team loved working with you guys. It’s bittersweet for us. We’re so happy we found you the perfect place but we’ll miss seeing you every week!
Fil was invaluable in both selling our Kettle Valley townhome and then purchasing our home in West Kelowna. Just days before closing on the townhouse, we had a laundry room flood and were devastated thinking it would derail the sale. But, Fil was able to smooth the waters, as it were, and left everyone happy. He also then was able to secure our new home when there was a competing bid. We could not be happier to have had Fil on our side and will absolutely ask him to help when the time comes to change homes. - Paul and Beth
Reply: Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm always happy to help!

I highly recommend Fil for anyone seeking a trustworthy and knowledgeable real estate professional. - Harbir Dhillon

This is the second time I have worked with Fil to sell my home and I would highly recommend him. He has a very personable manner that coupled with his professionalism, makes him a real pleasure to work with. I was not in the province while the sale process proceeded, which meant that Fil had responsibility for managing the security of my home and ensuring that it always had a fresh feel to it. I was thrilled with the timing of the sale and all aspects related to it - the entire experience was worry-free. Thank you Fil. - Jennifer
Reply: thank you so much, Jennifer! I’m so excited for you in the next chapter of your life!

Reply: Thanks so much, Al! You’re easily one of my favourite builders to work with!
The thing that I liked about dealing with Fil is that he had a plan in place to deal with anything during the selling of my acreage home and buying a condo. The sale had multiple offers at top dollar and we received 99% of our asking price. On the other end he managed to talk the seller's into taking my first offer. I was in disbelief when he called me and said, "congratulations they accepted your offer." Hell ya I'll use him again. - Sukki Bining
Reply: Amazing! 😂 Thank you Sukki. I can't wait to work with you in the future!

Fil and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with! He is extremely knowledgable, helpful, quick to respond and easy to communicate with. The process of purchasing a home can be overwhelming but Fil was able to simplify the entire process and help make our dream of home ownership come true.

Reply: Thanks Ryan and Annie! I'm so excited to get you into your very first home!
Fil and Jane were both very professional and knowledgeable. They were upfront with us about our options and gave us good advice. We had a couple times where we wished Fil got back to use a bit quicker but overall he did a good job representing us. - Ben Heggie
Reply: Hi Ben, thanks for the review and for the honest feedback. Jane and I have worked hard to add additional systems to make us even more available to ensure a quicker response time. I completely understand when you’re dealing with a major financial decision such as buyer if or selling real estate it’s already stressful enough and when you want someone to talk, the sooner we can reply the better.
Fil was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He went above and beyond expectations and made the whole process so seamless and stress free. Fil was always on top of what is going on in the market, and he was always in contact with every step. It was a such a pleasure working with him.

I would highly recommend Fil to anyone buying or selling in the Okanagan. - Kyle

Amazing service! We really appreciate how over and beyond Fil went for both our Sale and Purchasing. So much worry and stress was taken off our minds because we knew that someone we can count on was watching out for us. - Jaclyn
Reply: Thanks 🙏 to you both. So excited to get you into your new home!
Our previous Realtor experience trying to sell our house was dreadful - flashy shoes and a nice car do NOT sell houses! The agent only had excuses, not solutions and we eventually took the house off the market. We then interviewed 4 other agents one of whom was Fil. What a breath of fresh air... Expert advice on everything from tidying up to pricing. When our original buyer pulled out we thought we'd be back to where we started but no, Fil and the team had more opportunities lined up and within about 45 minutes we had a new offer - for more money than the original and over asking. Fil and his team were professional and unflappable at every step of the way. - Tim
Reply: Thank so much Tim and Lucy!!! Congratulations on the over list price sale!
Fil was a pleasure to work with. Always very professional and someone we really connected with & were able to have fun & joke around with (important for me when buying & selling real estate as it can be high stress situations). He was super knowledgeable and always acted with our best interest in mind. I would highly recommend Fil to anyone looking to sell or purchase a new home! - Jill
Reply: Thanks Jill!! So excited for pool season!
Knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, patient, trustworthy and easy to talk to. Would highly recommend Fil! He understood what we were looking for and gave us sound advice to find the perfect place in a great neighborhood - Taryn
Reply: thank you for the kind words, Taryn. I’m looking forward to bumping into you and the family at the beach this summer!
Excellent agent. Nice guy. Worked hard and easy to work with. Good communication and reliable. Would highly recommend his service. Was a pleasure to work with the whole crew at vantage west. His assistant Jane was wonderful as well - Dean Alix
Reply: Thanks Dean. So happy we were able to get you sold in this difficult market.
After interviewing a few agents, we decided to hire Fil for the sale of our property. Fil offered good advice on property values in the area (in a depressed market, and also recommended options for listing and selling. Fil advised us that he would first approach some buyers he knew to attempt to sell the property even prior to listing it on MLS. Fil was able to sell the property for a fair price within about 2 weeks, even before it was listed on MLS, saving us considerable staging costs and other headaches associated with showings / open houses etc. Will definitely recommend Fil and his brokerage, Vantage West, to anyone buying or selling in the Okanagan. - Paul Sandhu
Reply: Thanks again Paul. It was such a pleasure working with you!
Very quick to respond to any communication Easy to communicate with Explains things well Very professional with setting up & explaining the process. Stayed in close contract throughout the process. Not pushy or judgmental at all. - Sandy Kind
