Did you know that all of us in the Ranj Takhar office live in East Abbotsford? That’s right…myself, realtors Dave Jones and Jenn Schotts, as well as our Administrative Manager Marina Baerg are all living, working, raising families, and enjoying life in East Abby! In addition, our brokerage, Homelife Glenayre Realty, is the ONLY real estate office located in East Abbotsford, within the City of Abbotsford! While we love this entire city that we are proud to live in, let me tell you about just a few of the reasons why, as realtors and residents, we love East Abby in particular.

Education: East Abbotsford offers some of the City of Abbotsford’s finest schools, from elementary to middle to high schools such as Robert Bateman and Yale Secondary School. Ranj attended Robert Bateman Secondary School and is proud to call many of his former classmates his friends and clients. Jenn and Marina both currently have kids in all levels of schools in East Abby!



Recreation: Who doesn’t love a Sunday afternoon skate complete with snow falling on the ice at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre or spending time going to and from many a swim lesson? Our state of the art rec centre has so much to offer and you can easily stay up to date with the City of Abbotsford Parks and Recreation program guides! In addition, hop on a Discovery Trail or head to the dog park or yoga at Parallel Yoga and you’ll soon discover all that East Abby has to offer.



Shopping & Dining: From farm fresh corn at Lepp Farm Market and our favourite selection of home-baked goods and in house crafted charcuterie to a hot cup of gourmet coffee at Cafe Amarti (where we love to meet with our clients), East Abby is a foodie’s delight! Did you attend our wine tasting event this past April at the Clayburn SchoolHouse? If you did you will remember the delicious assortment of Lepp Farm Market housemade goodies! We love to support the small businesses around us! The Clayburn Village Store is another one of our must-stops. If you have the time to joinus for lunch or a coffee, don’t be surprised if we take you to one of these East Abby spots! Be sure to check out the upcoming Applelooza Event at Lepp Farm Market and enjoy fresh-pressed apple juice (literally pressed right in front of your eyes with the Mobile Juice Factory) straight from the Lepp’s Orchards in Osoyoos.

Everyone in the Ranj Takhar office is very proud to live, work and play in East Abby, a small slice of heaven in our city in the country. With hundreds of homes sold in East Abbotsford, if you are looking to purchase or sell, we understand our neighbourhood and the property values - a major asset when listing your home for sale or moving into the area. When you are shopping for “homes for sale near me” or a “realtor near me” or if you are looking to move to our neck of the woods, you should give us a call. We are truly your East Abbotsford specialists!

We are quickly approaching our 3rd Annual Blueberry Pancake Breakfast! Have you got the details in your calendar? Saturday, July 27 from 10 - 12 pm at Westberry Organic Farm: 34488 Bateman Road.

Be sure to bring the entire family for a pancake brunch and a morning of berry picking, face painting and more - gluten-free options available

Next Saturday is, however, more than just a pancake breakfast that I host with my colleagues; Marina, Dave and Jenn. This Client Appreciation event is a celebration of YOU, our client, the backbone of our business. As you know, I am not typically at a loss for words. I hope you know how grateful I am for your business, loyalty, friendship and referrals over the years, this is a chance for me to show you how much you mean! 

Just as Starbucks didn't become Starbucks in a day, my career has been able to progressively grow over the past 10 years because of YOU. Not a day goes by that I am not filled with gratitude that I have been able to play a part in helping you achieve your real estate goals. I am overwhelmed and in awe at the amount of trust that you put in me with potentially the largest transaction you will make in your life. I never forget what that truly means.

No matter how we met; whether we grew up together, connected through a like-minded love of real estate investing, or you were graciously referred to me through a past client of mine, family or friend, you matter so much.

Now come on out, enjoy some pancakes, pick some blueberries and let me extend my thanks in person.

Trust us, we will have you looking forward to our Christmas and Spring Wine Tasting Events!
