Hello , my name is Dave Waugh and I would like to write a brief testimonial on my experiences with the Cosens real estate team. Back in December 2015, I was forced into a position to sell my home of 12 years in Sicamous. I have Known Calvin & Annette for 20 years through their involvement in Kareoke . A few years ago they got their real estate license , and after a brief attempt to sell my house on my own , I realized that under the circumstances, I needed professional help ( to sell my house that is 
.) Anyway , Annette, suggested if I needed a realtor, Her and Calvin would be more than happy to assist me with that. So I had them come out on a Sunday and showed them around my place. We discussed a price I would be comfortable with, which type of commission would be best for me and I listed my home with them. Almost immediately , within days, they were showing my home, priced fairly on their advise, I received multiple offers . Eventually coming to an agreement with a nice couple from Calgary , the sale went smoothly and my need to sell was met . To sum it up , I was very pleased with the professionalism , availability, and knowledge they made available to me. Thanks Calvin & Annette , I recommend anyone thinking of selling or buying to contact the Cosens team !!!

Thank you to Annette and Calvin for helping us sell our mobile AND find us the house of our dreams! It was a whirlwind of a month and I’m glad we got to share it with you
~ Tara Peterson
As a realtor Annette is very personable and provided good insights on preparing our property for sale. As the process continued, we were informed of showings and interest in a timely way. She listened to ideas we had and incorporated them well. This is our second property for sale with Annette and with the other property, her suggestions were effective in a successful sale as well.
~ Paul & Margaret Skydt
It was a pleasure to do business with Annette Cosens (& team).
Annette made everything seamless and easy. She maintained great communication. The level of professionalism is different than any agency we previously worked with. We will include her in any home sales in the future. Annette kept things calm. She has a such a reassuring voice & demeanour-exactly who you want to be dealing with when it comes to the natural stress involved in selling a home.
Thanks Annette & team for a fantastic experience.
~ Carolyn Krawcyzk
We are so pleased with Annette’s handling of the sale of our beloved lakeside home. She arranged for a video tour inside and out, five showings in 5 days and two offers. She was prompt returning calls and handling the massive amount of paperwork. Not only did she sell our lake-side home pictured here, she also handled the purchase of a lovely retirement home in Salmon Arm. Kudos to the Cosens Team!
~ Bob and Carol Petrie
With living in Italy and wanting to sell our property in the Okanagan, I thought we would encounter difficulties. We decided to engage a local Agent with a great sales record and a wonderful personality. Within just a few days the sign was up, I had already received the information that I had requested from the City Planners and a professional photographer had already taken photos and a 360• video with a drone on a beautiful day, revealing a true atmosphere of actually being on site. To our surprise our property was sold only 18 days after listing it. Annette did a fantastic job! Thank you Annette!!
~ Ida Arsenault
The best of the best. Thank you so very much Annette!
~ Nancy Houghton
Thank you so much for getting me there, into my first home. Your guidance and resources got me ten times, what I was expecting to achieve. Looking forward to waking up tomorrow and realizing it’s real.
~ Randy Erickson
Our realtors were the best. They made our journey to a new city welcoming and stress free. They covered any questions we had and we’re extremely informative. We highly recommend the Cosens team. It will be worth your while. Big thanks to Annette and Calvin for welcoming us to Salmon Arm.
~ Debra Stewart
Wonderful to work with Calvin and Annette sold our lots and created a wonderful small community. Annette managed to do some amazing physical feats without causing any damage to her Wonder Woman outfit!! Professional and hard working they are the best!!
~ Sandra Moody
We were looking at places for three years from the island. My Uncle Lawrence Williams gave me Annette Cosens name and she has patiently delt with us since. Even through a short notice sale and need to buy, with Covid 19 and isolation we were looked after very professionally and friendly. We were given more than ample service and bought our retirement home in Salmon Arm!! Very very happy with our choice!!! Could not have had a better friendship and professional service than through Annette Cosens. Would recommend her services to all friends and family who want to move to Salmon Arm BC.

~ Hugh Scoullar
Thanks so much to Annette Cosens and her wonderful husband Calvin Cosens for making sure we had the inspections done, you are an amazing team. You both were looking after ‘our’ best interest, above making a sale! That’s what I call true friends and the best kind of realtors.
~ Christina Everton
Absolutely the best service. Sold our property in a very timely manner, communication was great, flawless transaction. Very helpful and smooth experience, and would strongly endorse their service for your real estate needs!!!
~ A. T. Valdez
Fabulous couple, always available and ready to help. We highly recommend them.
~ Christina Marie Everton
The Cosens team goes above and beyond to get the best price for your house or find the ideal property you want. Helpful, hard working and honest. And darn nice people as well!
~ Gary Arsenault
Great team. Very helpful
~ Michelle Arceo
We picked this team out of the blue in hopes that we could find a Realtor that cared and was just as interested in finding us the perfect home as in getting a sale. Wow we are impressed. I think we topped the list in the many places we requested to be showed. We finely thought we found the perfect home only to find it was a nightmare, but the Cosen Team supported us and helped us find an awesome home that we can now call our own
I was at the point of totally giving up, thinking we would never find a home. I don’t think we could have done this without them and all their wonderful support and patience Thank you so very much
~ Estelle and Brian
From the moment we spoke with Annette about a property she and her partner Calvin had listed, we knew we were in very capable and trustworthy hands. We traveled from Victoria three times over the summer and we could not be more delighted with our new home in Blind Bay.
A very special bonus is that our wonderful realtors have become friends
~Kimberley Rhynas
Excellent service, no pressure and very accommodating. Annette helped us find the perfect home in Sorrento. If you are looking for a true professional to either list your house or assist you with the purchase of your next home than look no further, Annette has the experience and knowledge to get the job done
~ Bob Gardner
We were delighted with the professional, personal and positive service provided by the Cosens Team. Annette and Calvin are highly responsive to clients needs and did a great job for us! We highly recommend them!
~ Fiona and Dennis
They are the best people out there to sell your house for you because they get what you want.. They helped my grandparents sell their townhouse, everyone was very happy. 🙂
~ Monica Chmilar
You two thanks for slugging through the bush. You passed the Realtor test because you:
A-Found us a house to look at which we didn’t already find ourselves online.
B-Didn’t wait in the SUV with high heels while we walked the property line.
~ Dustin Baker
Working with Annette and Calvin was a pleasure. Informed, professional and personable they made selling our waterfront property enjoyable. We look forward to working with them again in the future.
~ Bill Markin
It was a good and strong relationship during the house sale of ours. You and we became good friends and you were always present when we had questions and need to meet you. Thank you again for being so awesome at what you do. We wish you a successful future.
~ Andre Jotterand
What an awesome gift!! We can’t thank you enough for that and all the work you did to make this dream come true is even more appreciated. You are an awesome team!
~ Dennis & Sheryle Blackwood
During September and October of 2016 we asked Annette and Calvin Cosens to take on the task of selling our home in Salmon Arm, B.C.Right from the first day we met with them it was apparent that our choice was a good one. They viewed our home carefully, took accurate measurements and asked us all the pertinent questions. Besides, the photographer produced many, many excellent pictures which showed our home to it’s full advantage. The team then sent our listing to several sites all the way to Vancouver. Roy and I were able to go about our business of moving without any interruptions (aside from the numerous showings). Our home sold in 15 days and we received the asking price.Annette and Calvin quickly became our very good friends – trustworthy, dependable, respectful and pleasant to have in our home.
We are confident in the ability of the Cosens Team to assess your home accurately and to obtain your home-selling goals.
~ Roy & Gail Irwin
Shopping for a new home doesn’t have to feel stressful. With Annette and Calvin I felt like I was shopping for a present, a true gift. My husband, our three children, and I, were greeted at the house of our choice in a timely manner. While viewing the home with our fantastic realtor we felt there was no pressure what so ever to hurry. Annette and Calvin were exceptional. They were exploring the home with us, and we loved it. They were open to our questions and answered them very knowledgably. We at first weren’t in a hurry to purchase; however, that changed and we were accommodated wonderfully. Annette was extremely capable of adapting withthe change of pace and our sale happened really quickly. Annette and Calvin drove to our home with the paper work and everything was signed and within a matter of only a few weeks from start to finish we were moved into our new home. Annette and Calvin gave us a wonderful house warming gift that we will be enjoy for many, many years to come. I would recommend everyone to hire Annette and Calvin. They felt like family shopping for a home with us. Thank you so very much for making our dreams come true. Our family is so very grateful to you.
~ The Lorimer Family
We were looking for a piece of property that we could close on quickly. Because the seller was from out of town, it created some challenges. However, Calvin and Annette went that extra mile to ensure we were able to close the deal within the specified time. Overall, it was a very positive experience.
~ Adele Krajci & Laurie MacIntosh
That’s the most fun I’ve ever had doing a real estate deal ever!
You are permanently in my phone and in our lives. Thank you again for being so awesome at what you do!
The Cosens Team are awesome at being a Realtor and they are the only Realtor that answered the phone and got back to us. They are so patient, cordial, personable and fun!
I don’t think you can get a better combination for a team.
Joseph Price
You’ve been so patient with us, we should buy you a gift.
Then they bought us a lovely big planter filled with flowers.
Thanks Jenna & Jay

John Doorenberg said after the Cosens Team sold his house in Blind Bay:
The Cosens Team is well organized and know what they are doing. They are very friendly and we became friends.
John & Anna Doorenberg
To the Cosens Team, We would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you, Annette & Calvin for all the hard work you both have done for us at selling our homes in the past and in the present days. You both have given us 100% of your time to show our home and helped us create an awesome friendship, through all of this. You both have gone way beyond to answer questions anytime of day or night, which means a lot to us. Thank you both for the hard work and challenges you have had to selling our home.
Brian Nitchie and Christine Murrray
Their unusual sign attracted our attention and we hired their services to take care of the sale of our property.
They really responded to our expectations with a good wide spread presentation (flyer, website).
They were attentive also for searching a new home.
We sold our house in three months and found a new property through the Cosens Team and were rewarded with super surprises.
We went to Sparkling Hill which we enjoyed enormously. For 2 days we were living out of the everyday of our normal life.
We want to thank them for their generosity of this wonderful gift and all the other lovely gifts.
We thank this nice couple and wish them the best.
Andre & Frederica Jotterand
Working with The Cosens Team was the smart thing to do. Getting the listing done right at the right price resulted in a firm offer with only four showings and at full price! Closing the deal with competing offers was made simple and I encourage anyone thinking of listing to seriously consider the Cosens Team as they are serious in keeping you satisfied
~ Gerry Leering
I find the COSENS TEAM to be very professional, friendly and most of all they achieve results. They sold my house within five months, since it was put on the market.
It was a pleasure having them as my Realtor® and wish them all the best.
I would strongly recommend them!
~ Eric Mann
Thanks for everything, such a great experience.

We interviewed four Realtors® before we listed our property and we chose the Cosens Team. Their Comparative Market Analysis was very professional with all the in depth details to determine the market value of our home. We were impressed with their marketing strategy and felt confident they would put in the effort to sell our property in a timely manner. We are pleased to report that we had an accepted offer within one week.
Gary & Dianne Trudel
I would like to thank the Cosens Team for helping us sell our mobile. I have only good things to say about them. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a personable couple to interact with. They were always available to answer any questions, and helped us through every stage of the process. From the bottom of my heart, thank you again for all you did for us, you are a great team!
~ Heather Rattray
I have had the great honour of knowing The Cosens through the Karaoke business that they do. Then I found out they were doing real estate and I knew my grandma was looking to move, because she couldn’t take care of the house and big yard and of course, garden that she had. My grandma tried other people and businesses to sell her place but nothing went anywhere. I told her to give the Cosens Team a shot. I think it was a month and her place was sold. She was so happy. They treat every person they talk to with respect, honesty, and always make them feel good. They go above and beyond being just house sellers but to being your friend. Alway kind, curteous, and fun. Most of the time there is only one person selling your house but with the cosens team you get two knowledgeable people. They say two heads are better then one!! Thanks to the Cosens Team for being such great people. I know who I’m choosing or when I recommend a friend next time someone needs to buy or sell a house. It’s the… Cosens Team
