ABOUT ME
Samantha Ashly | Commercial Realtor® in Kelowna & the Okanagan
I specialize in commercial real estate throughout Kelowna and the Okanagan.
I work with commercial property owners, investors, landlords, tenants and business owners on the acquisition, sale and leasing of commercial real estate. My core practice areas include commercial sales, investment properties, landlord representation, tenant representation and commercial leasing.
Commercial Real Estate Is What I Do
My commercial real estate practice includes:
- Commercial investment properties
- Office properties
- Retail properties
- Industrial properties
- Development land
- Commercial leasing
- Landlord representation
- Tenant representation
- Commercial property acquisitions and dispositions
I work throughout Kelowna and the Okanagan, with commercial opportunities extending across West Kelowna, Lake Country, Vernon, Penticton and surrounding BC Interior markets.
I Understand Commercial Property From the Ownership Side Too
My perspective on commercial real estate goes beyond representing buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants.
I am also a commercial property owner and operator.
That experience gives me a practical understanding of the decisions commercial property owners and investors make every day, including leasing strategy, vacancy, tenant acquisition, operating expenses, property positioning, cash flow and the long-term performance of a commercial asset.
When I evaluate an investment property or leasing opportunity with a client, I look at it through both a Realtor® and an operator’s lens.

Commercial Investment Properties
I work with investors looking to acquire or dispose of income-producing commercial
real estate throughout the Okanagan.
Depending on the property and investment strategy, my analysis may include:
- Net operating income
- Capitalization rates
- Existing leases and tenant profile
- Vacancy and lease-up opportunities
- Operating expenses
- Potential rental growth
- Property positioning
- Development or redevelopment potential
- Comparable commercial transactions
My objective is to help clients understand not simply what a property costs, but what they are actually buying.
Things to consider
- Commercial Sales
I represent commercial property owners through the sale process, from initial property and market analysis through positioning, marketing, buyer qualification, negotiation, due diligence and closing.
Commercial properties often require a very different marketing and transaction strategy from residential real estate. I focus on presenting the property to the appropriate investor, owner-user or developer audience and communicating the underlying commercial opportunity clearly.
- Tenant Representation
Businesses looking for commercial space can engage me to represent their interests throughout the search and negotiation process.
I can assist with:
- Identifying available commercial properties
- Reviewing location and space requirements
- Comparing lease opportunities
- Evaluating asking rents and additional rent
- Negotiating offers to lease
- Coordinating the commercial real estate portion of the transaction
- Commercial Leasing
I represent both commercial landlords and tenants.
For landlords, I help position available space, market vacancies, evaluate prospective tenants and negotiate commercial lease transactions.
For tenants, I help identify suitable commercial space, compare opportunities and negotiate the business terms of the lease.
- Kelowna & Okanagan Commercial Real Estate
Kelowna is the centre of one of British Columbia’s most active regional commercial real estate markets, with opportunities across office, retail, industrial, development land and income-producing investment properties.
I actively work in this market and follow commercial listings, leasing activity, transactions and investment opportunities throughout the Okanagan.
Through ShopCommercial.ca, my goal is to make it easier for investors, property owners and businesses to access commercial real estate opportunities and useful local market information.
- Market Knowledge
When it comes to selling commercial property, two things are crucial—knowing the area and the market, and having the right connections. As a commercial real estate agent, it’s my privilege to use my knowledge of the area as a business owner, resident, and agent for each client’s best advantage.
- Quality Analysis
Your commercial property is more than just square footage, amenities, and location. It’s also market demographics, local amenities, pending comparable sales and listings, and financial analysis. I bring the entire picture of your properties’ value to the table so buyers can understand the value of your listing ahead of all others.
WORK WITH ME
Whether you are considering buying a commercial investment property, selling an existing asset, leasing your commercial space or looking for a new location for your business, I would be happy to discuss what you are trying to accomplish.
