Who Sean is

Sean Phillips is a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Executives Realty in Vernon, BC. He was first licensed on 4 July 2022, has earned Top Producer status, and is licensed to trade in real estate anywhere in British Columbia.

He started out in commercial real estate, then moved to lifestyle real estate after falling in love with the Okanagan. He lives here full-time, in Okanagan Landing, and he sees a house as only part of what a buyer is choosing. The trails, the lake, the drive to town and the people next door matter just as much, and that is what he tries to help clients see clearly.

Sean also brings a 40-year background in technology, and it shows in this site. The calculators are built from the actual CRA and BC government formulas, and every number is traceable to a source.

Why an independent Ellison Landing guide?

When a developer sells new homes, the information buyers get comes mostly from the developer: the website, the showhome, the sales team. That information is usually accurate, but it is written to sell. Nobody at the sales centre is paid to tell you that the transfer tax exemption doesn’t apply at these prices, that a resale home down the road might suit you better, or that a Spring 2027 completion could slip.

This guide exists to fill that gap. It is not affiliated with Predator Ridge, Wesbild or the Ellison Landing developer, and Sean represents buyers of resale homes across Predator Ridge too, so he has no reason to push you toward new over resale.

What Sean does for Ellison Landing buyers

  • Before your first visit: a plan, a budget with every tax included, and agent registration done right.
  • Choosing: Woodside or Vale, lot by lot, and an honest comparison with resale homes across Predator Ridge and the North Okanagan.
  • Negotiating: price, incentives, upgrades, deposit structure, dates and conditions.
  • Documents: reading the disclosure statement, contract and specification sheet with you and your lawyer within the seven-day window.
  • Building: following construction, attending the walkthrough and chasing the deficiency list.
  • Selling: pricing, marketing and timing the sale of your current home to your completion date.

How Sean works

  • Straight answers, including “I don’t know yet.” If something isn’t public, he’ll find out, or tell you it can’t be confirmed.
  • Numbers in writing. Cost estimates and price opinions come with their working.
  • No pressure. Plenty of good buyers decide not to buy new. That’s a fine outcome.
