    "description": "BC has 11 regional Real Estate Boards that each operate a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) under MLS Rules of Cooperation set by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA). Each board licenses MLS access for member realtors within its geographic territory, publishes monthly benchmark statistics (HPI Composite Benchmark), and runs the local MLS data feed that powers IDX websites. The largest Lower Mainland boards are Greater Vancouver REALTORS (GVR, formerly Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver — REBGV) and the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB). FVREB covers Surrey, Langley, North Delta, White Rock, Abbotsford, and Mission; GVR/REBGV covers Vancouver, Burnaby, North Shore, Richmond, New Westminster, Tri-Cities, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, and Squamish. Boards are member-owned not-for-profits; they are regulated by BCFSA only insofar as they touch licensee conduct.",
