About Chalet Sean

Hi, I’m Sean

My life follows the Okanagan seasons. In winter I ski, volunteer as a Mountain Host at SilverStar, and help people buy and sell resort homes. In summer I run a boat rental business on our lakes and help people buy and sell on the waterfront. It’s a simple life built around the Okanagan lifestyle, and in a place like this you can be happy every day.

Meet Sarah, my research assistant

Buying or selling here means figuring out a lot: which neighbourhoods fit you, how the towns and lakes connect, schools, commutes, the ski hills. That’s even more true if you’re coming from out of the area. I built Sarah to save you that legwork. She’s available 24/7 and knows the region inside and out. To be honest, her knowledge base is a lot bigger than what fits in my old brain. Sarah isn’t a real estate agent, though. When it’s time to talk pricing, offers, contracts or what a home is worth, that’s me: Sean Phillips, licensed REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Executives Realty, and your Okanagan lifestyle real estate agent.

Start with Sarah at 604-227-4810. Tell her what you’re looking for, and I’ll call you back personally, usually the same day.

Sean Phillips, known on the hill as Chalet Sean, is a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Executives Realty in Vernon, B.C., licensed since 2022. He sells ski-resort homes at Big White, SilverStar and Sun Peaks, and has spent several seasons as a volunteer Friday Mountain Host at SilverStar.

Why that matters to you

• Local knowledge across three resorts. You can compare Big White with SilverStar and Sun Peaks honestly, with one person who knows all three.
• A network of REALTOR® friends at other resorts. Sean skis with REALTOR® friends who live at their own home resorts across B.C. If another mountain suits you better, he can introduce you, only if you ask, and any referral fee is disclosed to you in writing.
• He knows Big White from the inside. About a decade ago, Sean photographed Big White’s Google Street View virtual tours for the resort and Big White Central Reservations: its attractions, restaurants and shops, plus a connected 360° walking tour of the village itself. Few agents have walked every corner of the village the way he has. That same tech background shows in how he markets homes and keeps buyers informed.

How I work

I start with how your family skis and how you’ll use the home, then narrow the choices to the areas and buildings that fit. No pressure, straight answers, and help all the way from first look to keys.
