Family Owned Strata & Property Management Company In The Fraser Valley & BC
Since opening our doors in 1993 as a real estate brokerage, HomeLife quickly evolved. By 1996, we introduced a rental management division and soon after established an independent strata management department in response to the inception of the Strata Property Act throughout the mid-2000’s. This journey of growth and expansion enables us to continually lead the management industry through change, delivering premium rental property and strata/HOC management services to clients across British Columbia.
In 2020, after amassing 40 years of combined experience, brothers Mike and Brian Browne assumed ownership of HomeLife, injecting fresh innovation and structural change into the company’s core. This marked the dawn of a new era, where internal policies and procedures were revamped to align with the evolving market dynamics. Under their leadership, the company underwent a rebranding, emerging as the HomeLife Advantage Realty Ltd. that you know today.
While our physical location and many familiar faces remained unchanged, the company’s vision was realigned towards fostering skill development, fortifying client connections, and mirroring our commitment to excellence with our strata clients. At the heart of our philosophy lies the belief in nurturing strong relationships, fostering opportunities, and fostering clarity, which have been instrumental in transforming our company into a thriving community.
As a family-owned enterprise, we place immense value on supporting our local communities, colleagues, and clients alike. Both Mike and Brian commenced their professional journeys in the financial sector and now hold all relevant licenses with BCFSA, specializing as managing brokers in rental and strata management, as well as trading services.
Additionally, our esteemed mortgage brokerage office, Browne Mortgages + More, operates seamlessly from our Abbotsford and Chilliwack locations.
