We’re excited to introduce the latest member of our team—James Bulford! Born and raised in Kelowna, James is a true local with a wealth of experience and a passion for helping people find their perfect home. Whether he’s working with clients or exploring the city, his energy and enthusiasm are contagious.
We asked James a few questions to get to know him better and learn why he chose to become a licensed REALTOR®:
Favourite thing about being a REALTOR®?
In the past, I’ve sold everything from skateboards and surfboards to snowboards, clothing, trucks, cars, and SUVs. What I love most about being a REALTOR® is that I work in the best interest of my clients, and I never feel like I’m selling them something. This allows me to focus on their needs instead of pushing a product on them. I love solving problems and helping people in any way I can!
Past experiences that help you provide excellent client service?
I’ve worked in a few different industries, including telecom, construction, and sales, and I’ve lived in several places across BC. Born and raised in Kelowna, I’ve also spent time in the Kootenays, Vancouver, and Victoria. Through these experiences, I’ve made connections with people from all walks of life, and I celebrate what makes each community unique.
Favourite thing to do in Kelowna with your family?
Spending time with my wife and two kids at Kelowna’s beaches in the summer and visiting the local fruit markets is always a highlight. We’re also big fans of spending time up at Big White during the winter!
On a day off, what do you enjoy doing most?
I love taking my 18-month-old son anywhere in Kelowna. Watching him experience new things is the best! I love to grab a coffee and take him to the park to watch him try to climb up the slide—so much fun! I also enjoy walking along Abbott Street, going to one of Kelowna’s amazing beaches in the summer, or making music with my kids. My daughter Blake and I both play piano, keyboard, synth—anything with keys!
Top things you love about the Kelowna area?
Some of my favourite things about Kelowna include hiking Knox Mountain, grabbing a coffee at Bright Jenny, exploring the fruit markets, enjoying the beaches, and grabbing a cheeky cold one at one of the many awesome breweries in town!
We’re thrilled to have him on board and we know James will be a great addition to the Nyrose & Associates team.
