DISCOVER A BRAND NEW WAY TO GET TOP MARKET VALUE FOR YOUR BRITISH COLUMBIA HOME WITHOUT THE WORRY OF MARKET FLUCTUATIONS
My Journey From AN IMMIGRANT To A TOP REAL ESTATE agent for professionals with growing families Who Want to Effortlessly Navigate the british columbia Real Estate Market and CREATE Their Dream LIFE
Adona Hamto
In 2011, my husband and I moved our young family to Canada with big dreams of building a better life for our children.
Like many new families, we were starting from scratch.
Within our first year, I was completing a paid internship with Citizenship and Immigration Canada, my husband was working a survival job, and we were raising a baby and a kindergarten-aged child.
We were renting, learning how life worked in a new country, and doing everything we could to create stability for our family.
Through careful saving, we were able to buy our first detached home in Abbotsford for less than one year.
At the time, buying that home felt like a major milestone. It gave our family stability, a place to grow, and the feeling that we were finally putting down roots.
I continued my career with the BC Public Service, where I worked with families who were struggling financially and helped them access social services and basic income support.
But our own journey wasn’t perfect.
As the years passed, we realized that our lifestyle debt was slowly growing. Even though we owned a home and were working hard, we needed to take a closer look at how we were managing our money and what kind of future we were building.
A mentor and discipler helped us realign our priorities.
We created a budget, became more intentional with our finances, and started making decisions based on our long-term goals instead of short-term comfort.
That change made a huge difference.
Over time, we built strong equity in our home. Before the pandemic, we sold our house and were able to use what we had built to purchase two properties — one for our family to live in and another as a rental investment.
That experience changed the way I looked at real estate.
I realized a home is much more than a place to live.
When approached wisely, homeownership can create stability for a family, build long-term wealth, and open doors that may have once felt impossible.
I also realized how overwhelming the process can feel when you are doing it for the first time.
I had experienced the uncertainty myself. I knew what it was like to raise a growing family, manage expenses, wonder what we could afford, and try to make smart decisions without having all the answers.
That is what eventually led me into real estate.
In 2021, I became a real estate professional because I wanted to use my personal experience, community work, and firsthand knowledge of homeownership to help other families make better decisions.
Since then, I have had the privilege of helping 86 families navigate buying and selling real estate.
And today, the families I feel especially called to help are professionals who are working hard, raising children, and wondering whether owning the right home in Abbotsford is still possible for them.
Because I remember what it felt like to be that young family.
I remember starting over. I remember watching every dollar.
I remember wondering whether we were making the right decisions for our children and our future.
And I also know what can happen when a family receives the right guidance, creates a clear plan, and makes thoughtful real estate decisions.
That is why my mission today is simple:
I help growing professional families move from feeling priced out to confidently owning a family-friendly home in Abbotsford.

"Adona was a huge help throughout the entire process of finding our new condo. She was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and always made us feel like we had someone in our corner.
Buying a new home can be stressful, but Adona made the experience feel much easier and more comfortable. We really appreciated how much time and effort she put into helping us find the right place.

"It was a pleasure working with Adona on the successful sale of our home! My husband and I can confidently say that choosing Adona to be our realtor was the best decision we made. Adona was no stranger to us as she helped us purchase our first home and now as a growing family, we knew she would be the perfect realtor the second time around. Adona has exceeded our expectation and went above and beyond, confidently assuring us that our home will be sold seamlessly with ease.
From the very beginning, Adona was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and attentive to our needs. She provided expert guidance on pricing our home competitively, and the marketing materials—photos, staging advice, and listing description were top-notch, resulting in multiple open house bookings.
What really set Adona apart was she treated us like family. We really felt that she was doing everything to the best interest of her clients and not what is going to benefit her. Her excellent communication and commitment to making the process as smooth as possible was bar none. She kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer our questions, making us feel confident and supported in every decision we made.
We are beyond grateful for the service that Adona has given us, and most especially in taking a special role in making this sale a successful one! Thank you Adona for everything! It truly means a lot to our family!"

"Second positive review from our family for Realtor Adona. In early 2022 Adona helped us buy this property in Abbotsford. Now after few years Adona helped us sincerely for the sale as well. It was a tough journey during this tumultuous real estate market, but Adona demonstrated her patience and expertise which was felt very obviously by our family. The constant market updates, countless back and forth emails with buyer side realtors and importantly a very open communication with us was very much appreciated.Im sure Adona will be a trustworthy realtor for anyone looking to buy/sell"

So if you need a realtor to find your beautiful home in Coquitlam, I would highly recommend Adona. Cheers!"
