Vrecko Real Estate Group Expands from Okanagan to Vancouver, Bringing Expertise to the Luxury Real Estate Market

Downtown Vancouver-Quincy Vrecko Real EstateThe Vrecko Real Estate Group, renowned for its expertise in Okanagan’s high-end properties, is excited to announce its expansion into the prestigious Vancouver real estate market. This bold move marks an new chapter, bringing the group’s proven excellence and tailored service to one of Canada’s most sought-after real estate markets.
Expanding Legacy of Excellence

Under the leadership of Quincy and Tracey Vrecko, the Vrecko Real Estate Group has built a legacy of success in the Okanagan’s luxury real estate market. With over 30 years of experience in sales, marketing, and leadership, Quincy’s innovative approach and Tracey’s strategic marketing expertise have positioned the group as a dominant force in high-end real estate. This expansion into Vancouver extends their legacy to a new audience of discerning buyers and sellers.
Tracey Vrecko, who heads marketing and the Okanagan operations, notes,

“Our expansion into Vancouver allows us to connect with a vibrant market. We’re excited to bring our expertise to Vancouver while we remain deeply committed to our Okanagan clientele, continuing to provide the exceptional service they have come to expect from our team.”

Why Vancouver?

Quincy Vrecko’s personal connection to Vancouver adds a unique advantage to this expansion. Having lived in the city for 12 years, Quincy possesses a deep understanding of Vancouver’s neighborhoods, culture, and luxury market dynamics. This insight ensures that the team is well-prepared to serve the distinct needs of Vancouver’s discerning clients.
This expansion also brings a significant advantage to Okanagan sellers, as many buyers in the luxury market originate from the Lower Mainland. By establishing a presence in Vancouver, the Vrecko Real Estate Group is better positioned to connect these motivated buyers with exclusive Okanagan properties.
Vancouver’s real estate market is a global hotspot, attracting international investors and high-net-worth individuals who seek iconic properties in an unparalleled setting. From expansive hillside mansions to contemporary downtown condos, the city’s high-end market demands a nuanced approach—a challenge the Vrecko Real Estate Group is uniquely equipped to meet.

“Vancouver is not just a city; it’s an international hub for luxury living,” says Quincy Vrecko. “Our team brings the expertise and dedication needed to navigate this dynamic market. We are here to provide an elevated real estate experience tailored to the unique needs of our clients.”

Strategic Partnership with Macdonald Realty

Central to the Vrecko Real Estate Group’s Vancouver expansion is their strategic partnership with Macdonald Realty, a trusted name in Vancouver’s luxury market and a member of Luxury Portfolio International. This collaboration ensures clients gain access to an extensive global network of buyers and sellers, enhancing exposure for properties and leveraging cutting-edge marketing tools.

“Partnering with Macdonald Realty allows us to offer unparalleled service,” Quincy emphasizes. “Their established reputation, combined with their global connections, complements our approach and enhances our ability to serve Vancouver’s elite market.”

Expertise That Sets Them Apart

Vreckos-Luxury Real EstateThe Vrecko Real Estate Group’s proven track record in the Okanagan luxury market is a testament to their expertise and dedication. With over $650 million in total sales and recognition among the top 1% of realtors in Canada, Quincy Vrecko’s name is synonymous with excellence. His innovative marketing strategies, coupled with Tracey’s mastery in brand development, make them an unstoppable team in the competitive real estate landscape.

As they enter the Vancouver market, the group’s focus remains on delivering personalized service, deep market knowledge, and results-driven strategies. At the same time, they continue to prioritize their Okanagan clients, ensuring that their needs are met with the same level of care and expertise that has earned the group its stellar reputation.

Looking Ahead

With a foundation of integrity, innovation, and excellence, the Vrecko Real Estate Group is poised to make a significant impact in Vancouver’s luxury real estate market. Backed by their partnership with Macdonald Realty and the global reach of Luxury Portfolio International, the team is set to redefine the high-end real estate experience. Meanwhile, their ongoing dedication to the Okanagan community ensures that clients in Kelowna and beyond continue to receive outstanding service and results.

Celebrating 10 Years of Sensitive Santa 2024: Community, Inclusion, and Special Surprises at Orchard Park Mall

This holiday season, Tracey and Quincy Vrecko are thrilled to welcome families back to Orchard Park Mall for Sensitive Santa 2024, celebrating its 10th anniversary at the very location where it all began. Sensitive Santa has become a beloved tradition for families, offering a calm, sensory-friendly holiday experience tailored to children who may find typical festivities overwhelming. In honor of a decade of joy and inclusivity, Sensitive Santa 2024 will include special touches for both longtime and first-time attendees, with a free family photo and a unique anniversary gift for everyone who joins.

Sensitive Santa 2024 is designed to provide families with a relaxing, inclusive holiday experience, with softened lighting, gentle music, and a sensory-friendly setup that prioritizes children’s comfort and joy.

We’re also offering a special anniversary gift as a way of saying thank you to the families who have made this tradition so meaningful, as well as a warm welcome to those discovering Sensitive Santa for the first time.

This year, Sensitive Santa 2024 introduces a new and exciting partnership with the Canucks Autism Network (CAN). CAN’s mission to enhance the lives of families with loved ones on the autism spectrum aligns perfectly with the heart of Sensitive Santa, and this collaboration marks a meaningful step forward in supporting inclusive holiday experiences. Through this partnership, we will not only bring more joy to families this season but also contribute to CAN’s programs, which provide valuable resources for families throughout the year. Together, we’re expanding the future impact of Sensitive Santa, building a legacy of inclusivity and support.

Quincy Vrecko will be present to personally welcome each family to Sensitive Santa 2024, embodying the spirit of community and connection that has defined this event over the past decade. Quincy looks forward to reuniting with familiar faces and greeting new families, ensuring every guest feels at home in this special gathering.

Returning Sensitive Santa 2024 to Orchard Park Mall is a tribute to its roots, celebrating the memories made here over the years and the connections that have grown within this community. Tracey and Quincy invite families, both old and new, to join us at Sensitive Santa 2024 for an experience filled with kindness, joy, and meaningful holiday moments. With a free photo, a special anniversary gift, and a heartfelt commitment to inclusion, Sensitive Santa 2024 is set to make this season memorable for everyone involved.
