I’m Sean Phillips, a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Executives Realty in Vernon. I help people buy and sell at SilverStar and across the North Okanagan, and I built this site because mountain buyers deserve better information than a brochure and a listing sheet.
Background
- Licensed since July 4, 2022, for all of British Columbia.
- January 2026 Top 5 Producer at Coldwell Banker Executives Realty.
- Started in commercial real estate, then moved to lifestyle real estate after falling in love with the Okanagan.
- 40-year technology background, which is why this site has calculators instead of stock photos.
- Lives full time in Okanagan Landing, Vernon.
How I work
A mountain home is never just a house. You’re buying a way of spending your winters and summers, a set of rules about renting and suites, and a relationship with snow. My job is to make sure you understand all of it before you sign, and to be straight with you when a property doesn’t fit.
- Numbers first. I pull SilverStar sales from the MLS® myself and show you the comparables, not a guess.
- Documents read, not skimmed. Strata minutes, rental agreements, zoning and title get read before you remove subjects.
- Honest pros and cons. You’ll see them on every page of this site, and you’ll hear them about every property.
- Easy to reach. Call or text my cell at 236-599-5898, or use the Info Hotline at 236-599-5898.
Why SilverStar
SilverStar is one of the few places near Vernon where you can own a home, use it when you want and rent it when you don’t. It has a real village, a summer season that now rivals winter, and a Nordic network that’s among the best in the country, all about 30 minutes from a city with a hospital, lakes and an airport under an hour away. It’s also a market where small details, like which way the roof sheds or whether your area requires a rental manager, make a big difference to value. That’s the kind of detail I like.
