The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) is a member-based professional association of nearly 14,000 Realtors. REBGV is one of Vancouver’s earliest professional associations. It was originally formed in 1888, and known as the Vancouver Real Estate Board. Representatives from 25 companies created and signed a formal constitution and bylaws in 1888.

In 1948, the Vancouver Real Estate Exchange Ltd. was renamed the Vancouver Real Estate Board. In 1970, the Board was renamed the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. In 1977, the REBGV launched the first computerized Multiple Listing Service and launched two websites in 1996 for commercial and residential property listings.
