Based in the progressive Guildford area of Surrey, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) serves over 4,900 real estate professionals who live and work in the BC communities of North Delta, Surrey, White Rock, Langley, Abbotsford, and Mission. We are small enough to be nimble and bold, yet large enough to be able to make a difference. We move fast, sometimes with the flow, sometimes against it but, more often than not, we chart our own path. We foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, we dream big, we imagine the future, and then we make it happen. Because we can.
We are a long-standing, fiscally sound organization that is serious about the work and actions that we accept to perform for others.
