My Business Philosophy

My philosophy is to provide the best possible service and do it with honesty and integrity.

I believe that when you say you are going to do something; follow through and do it....if you are unable to do so in a reasonable timeframe – communicate.

I believe that when asked a question and you don’t have the answer – don’t fake it by telling people what you think they want to hear.

I endeavor to find the answer and get back to our clients promptly.

A Message from your Real Estate Professional:

During this time of the year I always like to think back and reflect on life a little more than usual. I’ve had this book at home for quite some time and I recently came across it – it’s called The Simple Living Guide by Janet Luhrs. One of the very first chapters lists 28 secrets to happiness. I won’t list them all, but here are a few and definitely gives us plenty to think about.

• Live beneath your means and within your seams
• Donate blood
• Don’t make excuses
• Stop blaming other people
• Give all the clothes you haven’t worn in the last three years to charity
• Listen more, talk less
• Every day do something nice and try not to get caught
• Be on time
• Don’t argue
• Get organized
• Let someone cut ahead of you in line
• Be humble
• Re-read a favourite book
• Know when to say something; know when to keep your mouth shut
• Be kind to kind people
• Be even kinder to unkind people

As you socialize with more people than at any other time of year, think of me when the topic of real estate comes up. The market changes daily from one community to another. My report will keep you abreast of the overall market trends and your community activity. For specific questions unique to you, call me. I'm available to answer your questions and to help in any way that I can. Have a safe and wonderful holiday season.



PS – Feel free to forward this email to anyone you know who might be investigating the market. I’ll be happy to provide detailed information catered to specific needs or questions. Also, if you know of anyone that would like to have a business featured in my e-newsletter, please contact me.

Selling Your Home in West Kelowna


Well, you’ve finally made the decision to sell!!!

But now where do you turn or who do you call?

Choosing the right REALTOR®, is the first important decision to make.

Take the time to interview and ask questions. Choosing the wrong REALTOR® can lead you down a path of frustration and worries. Who has time for that?


Let’s face it your home is probably your most valuable asset.

You need a REALTOR®, who is invested in the process of looking after your best interests, you need someone you can depend on and trust to give you consistent and accurate information.

That person is me, Karen Guy.

I work very hard to make sure the selling experience for you is a positive and stress free one.

In today’s real estate market simply signing a listing contract and putting a sign up on the front lawn just isn’t enough to achieve results and satisfy today’s savvy home seller.

There are more listings on the market now than there have been in the recent past. Both networking and the ability to be technologically advanced play key roles in the successful sale of properties. I aim to keep my clients ‘in the loop’ with informative and consistent communication.

I have an effective and recognizable marketing program that will help you get the results you are looking for. Keep in mind that at this time of year a lot of people will contemplate selling their home now that the Christmas season is behind us. This means there will be more competition out there. I will help you price your home according to today’s market.

If you are interested in selling your home and decide to interview a REALTOR®, I would be honored to be considered.

Please contact me if you have any questions about selling your home in the Okanagan Valley including Westbank, West Kelowna or Kelowna British Columbia, Peachland, Summerland.

My priority is to provide you with the ultimate service that will continue to make me your real estate agent of choice not just for today but tomorrow and always.
I am the GUY that will make a difference!
