“We’ve bought and sold our last 3 properties ourselves, but felt hiring a local realtor was essential for the sale of our cottage, especially this time of year. An easy decision to hire Steven – we’ve known him for years, he’s easy to talk to and he has a proven sales record in the area. We were amazed with how quickly everything happened. He listed and sold our place in a day, and managed to get more for it than we expected! We are very happy and recommend that you call and sell with Steven too!”

For the past 10 years, Steven has served as a volunteer firefighter for the Columbia Valley Fire Department. As Deputy Chief, he and his crew respond to emergency calls for the Lindell Beach and Columbia Valley jurisdictions.
“I joined the hall over a decade ago because I wanted to contribute to the safety of my community. Being trained for emergency response, at anytime of the day and in almost every situation, under emergency and sometimes stressful circumstances felt like the ultimate community service that I was able to offer. I love and respect my dedicated team of firefighters; I enjoy the continuing education, skills and knowledge that we work on each week at practice, and together feel a duty to protect our neighbours when they call for help.”
Inventory in the Cultus Lake area remains low, and with only 13 detached homes currently available, it’s no wonder October 2021 saw a drop in sales volume, but an increase in average price and days on the market compared to last year.
