After almost 2 years of trying to sell our house with other Realtors, we were ready to give up. We took a break from the market for a few months and then decided on a whim to re-list our house with Annette. On the same day our house went on the market with The Denk Team we accepted an offer, and sold our house three days later. Everything was professional and sincere in helping us find the next perfect home for our family and always had our interests at heart. The Team was quickly and admirably proved to be the refreshing opposite of the other realtors' "all talk and no do" which frustrated us for years. We recommend The Denk Team to anyone looking for an honest, warm and wonderful realtor!

Working with Annette to purchase my first home was a pleasure. She shared the excitement that goes along with being a first time home buyer. She was professional and punctual. What impressed me most was her communication and quick action. In a market where quick moves matter, she delivered expedient service, giving me peace of mind and comfort in the process. She is knowledgeable and provided clear direction on the steps of the buying process. I strongly recommend Annette to anyone buying or selling a property.

I've been working with Annette over the last year. During the short time I've gotten to know her, I've witnessed her tremendous energy and positive outlook to business and more importantly life in general.

Scott exceeded our expectations with his responsiveness and professionalism in helping us purchase our home in Lake Country. We could not have been more pleased with Scott’s assistance. Easy to work with and great at what he does, Scott made buying a home enjoyable and approachable. Scott advised us on every aspect of our home purchase with our best interests in mind. We have no doubt that we succeeded in purchasing a home we love in a competitive environment due to Scott’s helping us at each step. Highly recommend!

We have used Annette to purchase two homes in the past 6 years and have nothing but fantastic things to say about her. Our second purchase was a challenge for us and for Annette, but she went above and beyond to help us find our new home and make the deal happen. We will definitely use Annette for our home sales and purchases in the future. We wholeheartedly recommend Annette and assure you that you will be thrilled with Annette as a realtor and as a person!

We were recommended Scott by a family member, Scott exceeded what we ever thought was possible.
As first time home buyers, we were hesitant, scared and very un educated, but Scott was there to walk us through every single step of the way. In a very few 3 months working with Scott we ended up purchasing our first home and we are forever grateful for all the support he provided us.

Buying a new home from a distance can be challenging to say the least. Sally and I are very fortunate to have met Annette who worked tirelessly to make it seem as if we were right there the whole time. Annette genuinely cares about her clients. Not only was she immediately responsive to our requests but also proactive on matters that we might have overlooked. Furthermore, her knowledge of Lake Country property is second to none. We highly recommend Annette for your real estate needs in and around Kelowna and Lake Country.

As we are currently in the lower mainland, we couldn’t get up the Lake Country in time to view the property. Annette did a FaceTime walk through with us, showing the features, answering our questions, and showing us details when we asked. She promptly provided all the necessary documents for our review. Her experience came through when interacting with the seller’s agent, and she wrote a note to the sellers explaining our situation. She provided excellent guidance in how to offer in this current market. Our initial reason to contact Annette was a recommendation from our son and daughter-in-law who she helped buy their home in Lake Country. They were very impressed by her service.

Annette was always very efficient with communication and provided valuable and reliable information regarding the market. She was always available on phone/text and emails and made appointments on short notice which was a benefit to our limited schedule. Annette gave us great advice and worked very well with the other realtor to ensure our needs were met. We had very good experience having Annette as our realtor and would definitely recommend her!

We had Annette Denk sold our home in one day ! And she found the perfect home according to our criteria. Annette showed us a few properties, which resulted in a purchase in 2 days. This happened all to our fullest satisfaction because Ms.. Denk is incredibly well organized, knows her trade and the market and above all: she has a wonderful warm and helping attitude with her clients. We would use her again any time.

Annette helped us with the purchase of our first home. We could not have accomplished our dream without her steady hand, patience, experience and incredible professionalism. We have referred many friends to her, and she continues to deliver, every time. In a world of inflated egos and incompetence, Annette is an oasis of competence and true service-based guidance.

It was a delight to have Scott sell our property.
We found him to be transparent and realistic while instilling a sense of confidence and non-anxiety. Scott kept us appropriately updated and was able to offer us essential information efficiently. This was especially appreciated because we were out of province at the time of the sale.

A big year for us ! Moving to the Okanagan had been a dream for many years. When we finally made the jump we needed someone to help us find the perfect place to land. Luckily, we met Annette Denk who helped us secure our lovely home. Her knowledge of the local area was exactly what we needed to find the neighborhood which worked best for us. She was with us from the initial search to the final handing over of the keys. We can't say enough good things about her professionalism and kindness.

We understand that the thought of owning a home can be overwhelming. The choice of expert services matters. I made the right choice with Scott Peters. With experience and expertise, Scott helped me to understand the process and it was not overwhelming anymore.
Purchasing a home is like making financial and lifestyle commitments. Owning a home is a far better investment than renting a home, as you are building long term value, more freedom, and resources to raise a family in an owned home with a great neighborhood. Thank you Scott, your tireless commitment, quality of choice and determination to fulfill your client’s desires are characters we find in few people. You made it easy for me and I am now a proud owner of a home in Vernon.

They are amazing! They were instrumental in selling my unique and lovely but very difficult property. It appealed to a select few and they found the perfect buyers and secured the asking price. They also helped me purchase the house I wanted and negotiated both contracts with skill and confidence. Team Denk is professional, creative and hard-working . You won't find a more enthusiastic or knowledgeable realtor team.

Thank you so much for your expertise. We are so pleased that we had chosen you from four other realtors. We realize now that other realtors can get the paperwork done, but your approach makes all the difference. You provided us with great service, knowledge, proficiency and advise and I am happy to speak with anyone recommending your Team. You were the best and we could have not done it without you.

My partner and I have used Annette's professional services 3 times in as many years (2 home purchases and 1 sale). She is a master negotiator, so efficient and responsive. Each time has been quick and painless, and she has alleviated so much of our stress throughout the process. She helped us land our dream, 'maybe not forever but for a darn long time' home.
Thank you, Annette!

Annette represented me and my wife last year with the purchase of our new property. My wife and I have bought and sold several home over the years and this was by far the most challenging purchase we’ve ever made. The seller made the negotiations very difficult and I believe most agents would have walked away, not Annette! After several weeks we managed to finally get a deal and we couldn’t be happier. Annette really went above and beyond for us and we’re grateful for all of her efforts.

Warm, unobtrusive, attentive, focused, and highly professional clearly describe Annette Denk and the Denk Team.

It is with pleasure that we write this review about Annette Denk! We are a young family that found ourselves in a situation where our current property was speculatively rezoned which made it a very difficult property to sell. Although it made it more valuable, we realized we needed to sell to a particular market. Annette met us with confidence, understanding of our situation and an eagerness to take on the challenge. Her belief that we could sell our property was very comforting. We appreciated, as well, her experience and connections will selling all types of properties including ours. She was very professional and quick to keep us informed about viewings and offers. When we received a reasonable offer, Annette was incredibly efficient at guiding us through the counter offer process. We really appreciated, as well, doing all the contracts through email and over the phone. This allowed us to speed up the process even while we were at work. That time can be full of pressure but we always felt that she kept our best interest at heart. Once we had an accepted offer, Annette was always willing to answer our calls with questions about subject removal and anything else that arose. With a contractually sold house we could move on and begin looking for our forever home for our growing family. Annette was fantastic at supplying us with numerous options that were within our specific search range for homes. She took all of our wants into consideration and pulled together a list of houses that were well within our means. Annette was efficient at setting up viewings for us and always was well informed about the properties we were viewing. Once we had found our dream home, Annette wasted no time to help us make the dream a reality. Her knowledge of market expectations helped us negotiate an amazing deal for us. She was also incredibly knowledgeable when it came to the contract and was great with working with other realtors to make this happen. When all is said and done, we truly felt that she was just as thrilled as us that we were able to not only sell our current property but also buy our forever home.
We cannot recommend her highly enough. It was a pleasure working with Annette!

After the experience with my first purchase I decided to try another realtor company and was very pleased with my choice in the Denk Team. They have the attributes in what I haven't found in other realtors professional, courteous and accessible. They helped me find a new place matching my needs and had my existing condo listed and sold in under a week, making the transition between homes easy. I would recommend The Denk Team to anyone looking to purchase a new home.

Great experience with buying my first home. Annette made the time very easy on us and made sure we had all the information. I was out of town during the purchase, my husband did most of the hands on. I never felt out of the loop and had confidence that we were in good hands.

Annette - what a relief - feels like it was years of keeping the house clean even thought it was only a couple of weeks!! Thanks very very much for a great job, we knew you were really good at the showings and super with your staging ideas, but hadn't realised how awesome your negotiation skills are! The result is everything we could have wished for, and we picked the right Realtor for sure! So happy, many thanks again.

We have now purchased 2 properties with Annette as our agent. She devoted endless hours to helping us find the property that met all of our criteria and we never felt pressured or rushed. Always a pleasure when you feel that your agent treats you as a friend and not just a client.

Annette is an exceptional real estate agent! She is highly ethical, professional, friendly, hard working and really goes the extra mile to get the best deal for her clients. We felt very comfortable working with her. She really has the clients’ best interests at heart. And we could tell she is very experienced and knowledgeable about the Okanagan real estate market backed by over 26 years of experience in the industry.
She helped us buy our home in Lake Country, BC and negotiated the price we wanted. She was there every step of the way through the buying and closing process. She gave us such a warm welcome into our new home! She is unlike any other real estate agent I know.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Annette and highly recommend her to our family and friends for both selling and buying a home!

I have always been told that selling & buying a home is suppose to be really stressfull. That does not qualify for working with The Denk Team. Thank you so much for making the selling of my property and the finding and buying of my perfect new home a really enjoyable experience. You always responded in a very professional manner and gave me great advise. I had complete trust and never had to worry. I can't believe I was lucky enough to find a Realtor Team that is so great. Thank you for everything.

The best decision my husband and I could have made in this wild and crazy market was to call the Denk Team and Annette. She was by our side through the entire journey without making us feel rushed or pressured in any way. She offered meaningful, sound advice that was in our best interest while letting us remain in the driver’s seat. Annette’s read on the market is second to none and this coupled with her knowledge and intuition makes her your best possible ally. I would most certainly use Annette’s services for all future real estate transactions.
