Happy Thanksgiving!

Whether you're gathered around a table with family, sneaking an extra slice of pie, cheering for the game, or just enjoying a quiet moment with a warm drink, we hope today feels like a deep breath in a busy year. Here in the Okanagan, the leaves are falling, the air's got that crisp bite, and it's the perfect time to slow down and think about what really matters.

This year, we're hitting a big milestone: 35 years as Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty. We were the first Coldwell Banker franchise in Western Canada, back in 1990, and we're proud to have been honored for that long, successful run. It's not just about the years. It's about the people, the homes, the stories we've been part of. That's what keeps us going, and it's why we're so grateful for you.

To Our Clients

You're why we do this. Buying a home, selling one, or figuring out an investment, it's never just a transaction. It's where your life happens. The place where your kids take their first steps, where you host friends for summer barbecues, where you sit on the porch and watch the world go by.

You trust us with those moments, and we don't take that lightly. When we hear that 98% of you are happy with our service, it's not just a stat. It's a reminder that we're doing something right, helping you find the place where your story unfolds. Whether it's a cozy condo in Kelowna or a sprawling property in the hills, we're here for it, and we're thankful every time you choose us.

To Our Team of Agents

Our team of over 60 agents is the heartbeat of this place. Some, like Murray and Roma, have been with us for decades. They've seen it all, from sky-high interest rates to markets so hot you could barely keep up. They've closed deals in every condition, navigated tricky negotiations, and still found time to answer a client's worried call at 10 p.m. That kind of experience is rare, and it's why we're so proud of our team.

Newer agents, like Bryanna, who just earned Rookie of the Year, bring fresh energy and learn from the best. And when we get to celebrate personal milestones, like Christian and Ian getting married this year, it reminds us that our agents aren't just colleagues. They're family, building their lives right here alongside their work. To every one of you, thank you for showing up, for caring, for making every client feel like they're the only one.

To Our Employees

You're the ones who keep the wheels turning. You're checking contracts, scheduling showings, making sure every detail is just right. You're the reason a client doesn't have to sweat the small stuff, the reason a deal closes on time, the reason our agents can focus on finding that perfect home.

You might not always get the applause, but we see you. You're the backbone of this place, and we're grateful for every late night, every fixed typo, every moment you make things work.

What We Believe

After 35 years, we've learned something simple. A home isn't just a financial asset or a set of coordinates. It's the place where life unfolds. It's the kitchen table where you have the big talks, the backyard where your dog chases its tail, the living room where you laugh until you can't breathe. We believe in that idea, in homes that are north of ordinary because they're where your moments happen. That's what drives us, whether we're helping a young couple buy their first place or guiding someone ready to start a new chapter.

Markets will always shift. Interest rates will bounce around. New challenges will pop up. But we've been through booms, busts, even a pandemic, and we're still here, ready for whatever's next. We show up because you do, because every home we help you find or sell is part of someone's life changing.

Thank You!

This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for you. For our clients, who trust us with their biggest decisions. For our agents, who pour everything into this work. For our employees, who make it all possible. For 35 years of being part of the Okanagan, helping people find places where memories are made. You're the reason we're here, and we don't take that for granted.

From all of us at Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty, here's to a Thanksgiving filled with good food, great people, and the kind of warmth that sticks with you. Have a happy, safe holiday.

With gratitude,

The Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty Team
