    With a passion for rural living and a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities it presents, Val is your go-to agent for all things country. She has cultivated an extensive knowledge base of BC markets, agricultural resources and unique marketing practices to find your perfect property, or to get your property sold.

    Introduction

    I met my husband Brent (a Ranch Manager at the time) shortly after graduating from BCIT in Sales and Marketing—thus began my rural and ranch lifestyle. Our dream was to live on our own acreage and raise the kids in a rural setting—so we bought raw land and the work began. From driveway access, power, well, septic system to foundation pour we developed the property and have never looked back. Throughout the kids’ formative years, I was fortunate to enjoy 4-H, Little Britches Rodeo, High School Rodeo and a very rewarding career in education, specifically libraries.

    Today, besides real estate, I really enjoy a great side by side adventure, grooming the horses at the barn and taking in the view from my back deck with friends and family. I am completely hooked and browsing through listings daily and I am never far from my phone. I love hearing from people and welcome your calls, emails and texts, if you don’t reach me on the first try—leave a message, I will call you back!

    Experience

    With a passion for rural living and back country recreation, Val brings a wealth of knowledge in rural property development and lifestyle from years living in the Thompson Nicola region and travelling BC as a 4-H Leader and rodeo mom.

    The ability to connect and create meaningful relationships is one of Val’s strong suits and allows her to really understand what clients are looking for.

    With her combined experience and education, she brings an informed, professional and respectful approach to every deal. Val’s passion for real estate is apparent in her unmatched devotion to deliver the highest level of service, integrity and commitment to all clients.

    With a vast knowledge base and successful sales that include farm, ranch, waterfront, off-grid, residential and horse properties, combined with the LandQuest® premiere real estate platform, Val is a valuable asset for buyers and sellers alike.

    “I have worked with about a dozen realtors in my life, and feel especially moved to comment on the value of what Val Kynoch has demonstrated and produced for me. She goes above and beyond the call of duty to make things happen in a most excellent way. She clearly has extensive knowledge and expertise and exudes the confidence required of a professional in her field. If anyone is searching for a realtor who is going to negotiate the best possible result, make necessary and meaningful recommendations, and has the ability to track and tie up loose ends,

    I highly recommend Val Kynoch as your realtor of choice”

    “We have worked with Valerie since 2021 now, she was recommended to us through a family friend, and I can say she very much lived up to her reputation. She has gone out of her way more than once to make sure we were good and comfortable with everything going on and was always available. She also has a great sense for business. When we picked out our list for our viewings Val added a few of her own additions. These were places that we initially overlooked but once we viewed them in person were exactly what we were looking for, they were within our price and ticked all our other boxes as well, and we actually ended up going with her suggestion instead and couldn’t be happier. Val also has a fantastic team behind her, from mortgage brokers and lawyers to property insurance and home inspectors. These people we have used in all business needs to date because they are so great to work with. If you are looking to get into real estate in the interior, I highly recommend seeking out Valerie.”

    “We were so fortunate to have found Val through a referral. Due to the difficult situation my mom was in where she was having to sell her home and buy, she was a little sceptical at first as she never had to go through this process before. Val treated us with compassion and had mom’s best interest at heart. She made sure her needs and wants were met. She showed extreme patience with my mom and tried to make it as simple and stress free as it possibly could be. Val went above and beyond our expectations and we were very happy with not only selling mom’s acreage but also found her a home that was meant to be, which she is enjoying very much today. Not only did we appreciate all of Val’s hard work, vast knowledge and experience but also the personal touch she provided. She is an amazing realtor and we highly recommend her to anyone”
