Born and raised in the City of Surrey, Manraj's family roots in the city date back to the 60's when his grandfather first emigrated from England searching for a better future for his family. Now one of the fastest growing cities in Canada, the rapid change of Surrey's urban landscape was apparent to Manraj at a young age, living in neighborhoods benefiting from new homes, community centers, parks, and schools - the cornerstones of our society.
​
Manraj's curiosity about his surrounding environment is one of his strongest attributes. It is this ability and desires to continuously learn that led him down an exciting path in the real estate industry over the past decade.
