Meet The Vantage West Realty All Stars

Born and raised in Kelowna, Teagan has a deep appreciation for the Okanagan and the people who call it home. His commitment to exceptional service is reflected in the many 5-star reviews that he has received over many years from his clients. An entrepreneur at heart, Teagan started young—fundraising for a school in Kenya with a lemonade stand at nine and pitching his first business on Dragons’ Den at ten. Since then, he has launched an app, started a podcast, published a book, founded a marketing company, and delivered multiple TEDx Talks. Today, Teagan applies his expertise in marketing, negotiation, and communication to real estate, ensuring his clients receive top-tier guidance and support. He believes buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction—it’s a major life decision, and he takes pride in making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. A lifelong learner, Teagan’s bookshelf is overflowing with non-fiction books, always seeking to grow. Outside of real estate, he lives for adventure—whether skydiving, rock climbing, snowboarding, or even solo trekking through the remote Icelandic wilderness. His drive and "no-limits" mentality carry over into everything he does.

Maclaine Morrissey brings a heart-led, client-first approach to real estate, blending curiosity, calm confidence, and clear communication. Her journey into real estate was a natural one: a people person at her core, she thrives on building trust and truly understanding what matters most to her clients. Whether you're buying your first home or seeking your next big move, Maclaine is the kind of agent who listens deeply, acts decisively, and keeps things light along the way. Her approach? Laid-back but locked in — always bringing clarity, transparency, and a touch of humour to every interaction. Born for the outdoors, Maclaine spends her winters carving turns at Big White and her summers chasing sunshine on the lake. She’s happiest around a campfire with a s’more in hand and great company close by. A proud Okanagan local, she loves how the region offers the energy of a city with the calm of a resort town. To her, it’s the rare kind of place where life feels like a vacation — every season, every day. Fun fact: She once traveled around New Zealand in a van with her now-fiancé… after dating for only three days. (Spoiler: they’re still going strong.) Motto: “Wherever you are, be all there.” Theme song: “Good Vibes” by Chris Janson

Hello there, I'm Elaine Godeghesi, your dedicated Sales Consultant at Vantage West Realty. My journey to real estate has been shaped by my entrepreneurial spirit, and I'd like to share a bit about myself with you. At the age of 25, I took a bold step and opened my first restaurant in Vancouver. This venture not only fueled my passion for business but also provided me with valuable insights into the world of hospitality. Over the years, I had the privilege of serving as a consultant for new establishments, orchestrating high-profile events, and leading dynamic teams. My commitment to creating exceptional experiences with a client-first mentality has always been my driving force. My path into real estate began when I decided to work with Vantage West Realty to sell my property in Kelowna. It was during this collaboration that I had a profound realization – real estate was my true calling. I discovered my passion for helping clients navigate their motivations and achieve their real estate aspirations. Whether it's guiding individuals through their first home purchase, facilitating the sale of a cherished property, or assisting in expanding investment portfolios, I am genuinely honored to be a part of these pivotal moments in the lives of my clients. My commitment to excellence is unwavering. I hold myself to the highest standards, striving to build lasting and authentic relationships with everyone I work with. Education is key, and I am dedicated to providing my clients with the knowledge and insights they need to make informed decisions in the ever-evolving real estate market. While I've had the privilege of living in some of British Columbia's most beautiful areas, including Victoria and Tofino, there's a special place in my heart for the Okanagan. It's where I truly feel at home. And if you're an enthusiast of motorcycle rides, I'd be thrilled to take you on an unforgettable tour of this stunning region. I'm here to make your real estate journey as smooth and rewarding as possible. Let's work together to turn your real estate goals into reality. Your success is my success, and I look forward to being your trusted partner in all your real estate endeavors. Let's embark on this journey together!

Amy is a Sales Consultant with Vantage West Realty who is dedicated to helping people achieve exactly what they are looking for. She realized her passion for creating new relationships and memorable customer experiences early on in the restaurant industry. Her family’s involvement in the construction industry led her to developing her career in real estate sales in Northern BC. She has since made the move to Kelowna to enjoy all it has to offer, from orchards to wonderful lake views. In the summer, you can find Amy surfing behind a boat, and as soon as the snow falls she is bundled up to go skiing!

After becoming a Realtor® in 2002, AJ Hazzi noticed a gap in the market and in 2008 he founded Vantage West Realty, a boutique firm dedicated to serving the specific needs of real estate investors. Since then, his brokerage has grown to 28 agents and support staff. From finding and pre-analyzing investment properties to negotiating the purchase and property management after the sale, AJ’s relationship with his clients is more like that of a consultant than a salesperson. Few people have as much in-depth knowledge about investment properties in the Okanagan Region as AJ. He is head of the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) Kelowna chapter and a certified Real Estate Investment Adviser™. As an author, speaker and real estate coach, he practises what he preaches. His extensive real estate portfolio includes single and multi-family homes, development property, resort units and commercial buildings. In addition to being a Realtor®, AJ is also a licensed broker, property manager and new home builder, But for him, real estate isn’t a job; it’s a passion. He has witnessed and studied two real estate cycles in the Okanagan Region, and there is nothing more rewarding to him than using the knowledge he’s gained during that time to educate would-be investors on the right strategy to employ during boom and bust years. He is a great believer that the Kelowna market is rich with opportunity, and over the years he’s honed his skills at identifying properties with excellent ‘house flipping’ potential as well as those with high positive cash flow. AJ especially loves to work with clients to advise them on how they can secure a comfortable retirement and achieve their financial dreams through strategic investing. In 2015 AJ was honoured to receive the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. He enjoys giving back to the community through his support of the Gospel Mission, Sell a House to Save a Child, and is a proud member of 100 Men Who Give A Damn. In his downtime, AJ takes advantage of the Okanagan’s four-season playground by playing golf, baseball, boating and wake surfing in the spring and summer to wine touring in the fall and playing hockey or skiing and snowboarding in the winter. As a former competitive boxer, AJ also enjoys training and volunteering at the Kelowna boxing club. Meeting new people and a love of travel has led AJ all over the globe, but he’s always content to return to Kelowna, the place he’s called home for the last 30 years.

Cam Hicklin’s journey with Vantage West started long before he became a licensed REALTOR®. In May 2024, he joined the team as an unlicensed assistant and courier driver — prepping listings, editing photos, delivering lockboxes, and handling behind-the-scenes details that kept the business running smoothly. That hands-on experience gave him a deep understanding of the process and the dedication it takes to deliver great results for clients. Now fully licensed, Cam has hit the ground running and is already making waves — bringing the same work ethic, precision, and team spirit to his clients that made him an asset behind the scenes. Born and raised in Kelowna, Cam has been drawn to real estate for as long as he can remember. After years playing hockey — including a stint out east where he picked up a love for musky fishing — he was ready for a career that kept him competitive, challenged him daily, and allowed him to make a real impact. Cam’s approach is built on clear communication, smart strategy, and putting clients first. He works to make the buying or selling process smooth, enjoyable, and memorable for all the right reasons — always with his clients’ goals front and center. Outside of real estate, you’ll find Cam on the golf course, playing hockey, hiking with his dog, or spending time with friends. For him, the Okanagan offers the perfect blend of lifestyle and opportunity — from the lake and mountains to the community he’s proud to call home.

Nicole fell in love with real estate after purchasing her 1st home privately in 2014. From the searching and viewing numerous homes, to the entire negotiating process, she knew she found her true passion. In 2016 she got licensed and has never looked back. Over the years, she has learned how to listen to her clients, to find their wants and needs, and to work her butt off to make sure they "love where they live", while keeping great communication along the way. After hundreds of transactions, she prides herself in making each deal as effortless and seamless as possible, and to bring joy and excitement along the way. On Nicole's off time you can find her boating, paddleboarding, running, cycling, or having quality time with her husband of 14 years and their 3 year old baby boy. Nicole truly values family, friends, and real estate. She loves nothing more than handing over the keys on possession day!

It was the process of building a family home with her husband that first sparked Krissy’s interest in real estate. Looking for the ideal piece of land, deciding on the layout of their property and touring open houses and show homes eventually led Krissy to consider a career in the industry. After taking time to start a family, she decided to join the Vantage West Realty and share her love of real estate with those in the market to buy Kelowna property. Krissy loves to use her international experience and knowledge about land sales, and new-home builds to help others make wise decisions for their family. Having built a home, Krissy is well aware of all the steps involved. She is familiar with areas of Kelowna that are expanding and understands the pressures involved with planning and constructing a house from the ground up. She also relates well to those who are new to the area whether they are relocating from within the province, elsewhere in Canada or overseas. Krissy has an infectious laugh, bubbling personality and is committed to helping customers. When she gets time to herself, Krissy enjoys practising yoga. She also loves to travel and spent time in South Korea where she taught English and began learning Korean. Krissy is a natural adventurer and is always up for new experiences and meeting new people. She’s already planning a trip to Peru next winter and between now and then she’ll likely take a few road-trips with her husband and young family. As a new mom, most adventures occur without leaving the house, and nothing is more fulfilling to Krissy than playtime with the family.
