鈥淲e want people to find their dream home, love it, and live in it,鈥 said group publisher Lisa Farquharson, responsible for the 91原创 Advance Times, Aldergrove Star, and Real Estate Weekly (REW).

The new site currently covers 91原创 and Abbotsford. But, in the coming weeks and months, watch for the 罢辞诲补测鈥檚 Home expansion to other communities in the Black Press Media network.

And soon 罢辞诲补测鈥檚 Home will be scaled up to cover the rest of British Columbia, as well as communities in Alberta and the Yukon.
