THE ORGANIZATION:

Based in the progressive Guildford area of Surrey, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) serves over 4,700 real estate professionals who live and work in the BC communities of North Delta, Surrey, Whiterock, Langley, Abbotsford, and Mission. We are a long-standing, fiscally sound organization that relies on our Information Technology team to build and power the solutions of tomorrow that help reinvent the real estate industry.

THE TEAM:

Under new leadership and with a renewed focus and vision for the future, our Technology team is in the process of reinventing itself.

We foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, we dream big, we imagine the future, and then we make it happen. Because we can. Most of us wear many hats and our job descriptions don’t always fall into traditional IT roles, but that’s what makes it interesting, challenging, and fun. After all, it is what drew us to this wonderful world of IT in the first place, isn’t it? We all like to test our limits and keep pushing them further and further.
