Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty is thrilled to announce that Anthony Bastiaanssen has joined our team as a Managing Broker. With almost two decades of experience in real estate, Anthony brings a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and a genuine passion for helping agents and clients succeed. As part of our managing broker team, Anthony will work alongside our dedicated leadership to continue delivering exceptional support to both agents and clients.

‍

A Leader with Deep Roots in the Okanagan and Real Estate

Over the course of 16 years with RE/MAX Kelowna, followed by a role as Managing Broker at Oakwyn Realty, Anthony established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Okanagan real estate market. His move to Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty was a natural next step, drawn by our brokerage’s shared values of collaboration, integrity, and our collective vision for the future of real estate in the region.

‍

Having grown up in Kelowna, Anthony has witnessed the city’s transformation firsthand. His deep connection to the Okanagan and his extensive local knowledge are invaluable assets, ensuring that both agents and clients will benefit from his insights into this dynamic market.

‍

Beyond real estate, Anthony is committed to giving back to the community. He has served on the Board of Directors for the Kelowna Métis Association, the Board of the West Kelowna Yacht Club, and currently chairs the Advisory Planning Commission for the City of West Kelowna. This community-first mindset aligns perfectly with the values we uphold at Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty.

‍

Passion for Leadership and People

What truly sets Anthony apart is his dedication to people. His philosophy as a Managing Broker goes beyond just managing agents—he’s focused on creating an environment where his team feels empowered, supported, and inspired to grow. Working collaboratively with the other managing brokers, Anthony believes that trust is the foundation of success, and he fosters a culture where agents are encouraged to seek guidance, share knowledge, and collaborate rather than compete.

‍

Building trust is key. "Agents need to feel comfortable reaching out for advice, not just when there’s a problem, but to grow and succeed together."

‍

His approachable demeanor and genuine interest in his team's personal and professional development have earned him a reputation as a trusted mentor and leader. At Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty, we value this collaborative approach, knowing that the strength of our brokerage lies in the success of our agents.

‍

A Visionary Leader with Proven Experience

Anthony’s leadership extends well beyond the brokerage level. He currently serves as a Director on the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) Board and has held pivotal roles such as Chair of the BC Real Estate Association (BCREA), President of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (now the Association of Interior Realtors), and is currently the Chair of the Board of Governors of the Real Estate Foundation of BC. His extensive governance experience demonstrates his commitment to improving the real estate industry and ensuring that high standards are maintained.

‍

His governance roles have also given him the ability to think both strategically and practically, balancing big-picture vision with the specific needs of individual agents and clients. At Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty, Anthony’s ability to navigate both industry-level governance and day-to-day operations will be instrumental as we continue to grow and adapt to the ever-evolving real estate market.

Passionate About Real Estate and Community

Anthony’s love for real estate is not just a career—it’s a passion. He’s a keen observer of market trends, and his enthusiasm for helping clients find their dream homes or guiding investors to make informed decisions is clear in everything he does. His deep involvement in the Okanagan’s real estate landscape, combined with his strategic leadership, positions Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty for continued growth and success in this competitive market.

‍

As a longtime resident of the Okanagan, Anthony’s connection to the community runs deep. He actively participates in various local initiatives, and his commitment to giving back is something that resonates with all of us at Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty. His focus on community-driven leadership ensures that we remain grounded in the values of integrity and service.
