How I work
A plan first. Then the move.
A home is usually the biggest decision a family makes. It deserves questions, homework and a straight answer, even when it isn't the easy one.
SellingTwo meetings, then a decision
First, I walk through your home and we talk about why you're moving and what comes next. Then I come back with a detailed market evaluation and a marketing plan built for your property.
02BuyingA plan before the showings
We meet to talk about what you need, what you want and your timing. Then I set up a search that fits and map out the steps with your mortgage professional and lawyer.
03Moving up or downsizingBoth sides, in the right order
Selling one home and buying the next is a sequence. We'll plan the timing together and, if you're buying locally, view a couple of homes early so you can picture the whole move.

In their own words.
"Josh showed a deep understanding of the real estate market and provided clear, strategic advice that helped us make confident decisions."

"During the time our home was on the market, his communication was stellar and his effort did not take a day off."
"He's honest, knowledgeable, and truly understood what we were after. Reliable and punctual at every step, yet always down to earth and easy to talk to."

About Josh Miko
I've been licensed for more than 11 years, helping families across the Central Okanagan, with a focus on single-family homes in West Kelowna. Most of the people I work with are moving up to more space, downsizing to something simpler, or buying their first home.
I work the way a consultant does: ask good questions, do the homework, and give you a straight answer. The decision, and the timing, are always yours.

Home evaluation
What's your home really worth?
Online estimates can't see your renovations, your view or your street. I can.
- I review recent comparable sales near you
- We walk through your home together and talk about your plans
- You get a written market evaluation, prepared by me
- No cost and no obligation to list
Straight answers
Questions I hear every week.
General information only. For legal, tax or financing advice, talk to your lawyer, accountant or mortgage professional.
What does a Real Estate Consultant do?
I start with questions, not a sales pitch. Sellers get two meetings: one to see the home and understand your plans, and a second to review a full market evaluation and marketing proposal. Buyers start with an in-person consultation and a plan before showings begin. You make every decision; my job is to give you clear information to make it with.
How do I find out what my West Kelowna home is worth?
Request a home evaluation. I review recent comparable sales from the Association of Interior REALTORS® MLS® System, visit your home to see its condition, updates and setting, and prepare a written market evaluation. Online estimates can be a starting point, but they can't see inside your home. Request yours here.
Which areas do you serve?
My focus is single-family homes in West Kelowna, including Shannon Lake, Lakeview Heights, Rose Valley, Glenrosa and Westbank Centre. I also help clients in Kelowna, Peachland, Lake Country, Summerland, Penticton and Vernon.
Should I sell first or buy first when moving up or downsizing?
It depends on your finances, the market and how much risk you're comfortable with. Selling first gives you a firm budget. Buying first secures the next home but can mean carrying two properties for a time.
We can map out the timing together, and your mortgage professional can confirm what works for your situation.
Do first-time home buyers in BC pay property transfer tax?
BC's First Time Home Buyers' Program can reduce or eliminate property transfer tax for eligible buyers, depending on the purchase price and other conditions. The thresholds and rules can change, so confirm your eligibility with your lawyer or notary, or on the Government of British Columbia website.
