Best Local Home Services Providers
At times we run into clients who are just moving into the area and don’t have a lot of contacts of various professionals that could help them with various needs they have now, or potentially will have down the road.
As a service to our clients, I thought it would be helpful to create a database of various professionals that could be useful.
Every one of the businesses listed below have an owner or key employee who I personally know and can verify that they do really good work. They are all local companies who are based in Langley or Abbotsford or serve those areas regularly.
So, without further delay, here it is:
Notary Public – Langley
Grant Sauer – Sauer Notary https://sauernotary.ca/
Grant is a staple in the Langley community, who is heavily involved in the Rotary Club. He’s even done a term as the Rotary President, which puts on such amazing events as Ribfest!
A couple of years ago, Grant trekked up to Mt Everest!

Alistair Young. https://alistairyoung.com/
I’ve known Alistair for several years and he sold my home in 2023. A true professional who knows what he’s doing and will work hard for your good. When he’s not working, you may see Alistair hiking the Abby Grind with other people on this list.

Cory’s company is very unique because they are willing and able to take on small jobs, as well as big projects. They offer a streamlined booking process.

Geoff’s team is very highly rated and he was the Broker of the year in 2022.
