About

Hi, I'm Bo Skapski, of Bo Knows Homes Real Estate. I have been selling the Okanagan Lifestyle for over 20 years and have been involved in over 1200 transactions, representing both Sellers and Buyers.

We believe that the most important people in the real estate transaction are you, our clients, and our most important goal is to do what's best for you, whether we represent you as a Seller or as a Buyer, our focus is always on what is best for you, our client.

If you're selling, we work to get you top dollar and sell your home fast. We use a few innovative ideas to make sure that your home is presented at its absolute best. First impressions are very important to the buyers of your home and we work with you to see that your goals are accomplished. We also leverage all types of photography and technology to ensure that the first impression prospective buyers get, online, draws them to your home. 

Finally, we are negotiating experts and our style of negotiation often gets you a few dollars more. We understand that every dollar you put in your pocket is real and that if it's your primary residence, it's the best tax-free money you can get.

If you're buying, we work to find the right home for you and negotiate the best deal. Every buyer is important to us, no matter what their budget or neighbourhood. 

We understand that buying a home can be one of the biggest and most stressful transactions in your life. We work to make it stress free and satisfying for you. Our goal is to always make sure you get the home that fits your goals best, and we will take the time and effort necessary to make your home buying goals come true.

We only represent the Seller or Buyer in a transaction, not both.

"Bo Knows Homes!" It's more than just a slogan. I will always look out for your best interests.

I have been a REALTOR® since 2000. I have been a consistent top producer who joined Century 21 Assurance Realty Ltd. in 2005, after several successful years with another real estate company. In 2003, I formed the “Bo Knows Homes Team”. Since joining the real estate industry, we have won awards for sales performance, both as an individual but more importantly as a team that combined the experiences of team members to provide seamless service to all our clients, proving that “the whole client experience is more than the sum of its parts”. Each Associate brings different skills and talents, so that our clients can always be assured of the best customer experience in the business. Since 2005, he has been with Century 21, and has achieved Century 21's prestigious Centurion, Double Centurion and Grand Centurion Team awards almost every year he has been with them, including 3 years in the Top 15 teams in Canada.

I have always believed in providing a client-focused service to all parts of a real estate transaction, whether it is in providing the best Marketing and Selling Systems in the business for the seller, or ensuring that a buyer knows everything they need to know about the market and the properties they view to make an intelligent decision and find the property that is best for them. 

Whether it’s representing a seller or a buyer, We bring years of negotiating experience to the table. We believe that if we do everything we can to represent the best interests of our clients, at all times, the buying or selling experience will be stress-free, pleasant, successful and trouble-free.

This also helps him see market trends more globally and assist Sellers in marketing their properties in other areas.

When Bo isn’t selling Real Estate or talking to people he can be found expLoring several interests:

Skiing: Bo is an avid downhill skier and can often be found on the mountains in the winter. He is an expert skier and has skied most of the ski areas in BC and Alberta, from small neighbourhood areas to the mega resort of Whistler-Blackcomb, where he used to own a home. He has also skied in most major ski venues in the Western USA and has skied in Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. Bo knows skiing and he knows ski real estate. If you need a hand with ski country real estate, give Bo a call.

He has an extensive wine collection, much of which has been dedicated to the Okanagan/Similkameen wine industry. He has also travelled extensively to other wine producing areas, throughout Canada, the USA, Chile, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and, of course, Europe (France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and even the UK).

If you are interested in wine country real estate, Bo has also been involved in the sale of wineries and vineyards.

Golf: Bo likes golf better than it likes him, but he has gotten relatively competent, over the years, in part to living at the wonderful golf community at Gallaghers Canyon.

If you are interested in golf course homes, Bo knows and helps buy and sell golf course properties in the Okanagan.

Travelling: He believes that travelling is one of the best things that you can do to understand your connection with the rest of the world. He has lived in England, Paraguay, Canada and Mexico and has travelled to at least 27 countries throughout the world.

Real Estate: This is something Bo has always had a passion for. He enjoys the people. the product and the fact that it’s a big deal in their lives. His reward is the rush from seeing his clients achieve their Real Estate goals. He is always happy to share his experience, ideas, and expertise with clients and friends.
