Biographical / historical:

In May 1936, the California Association of Real Estate Boards organized the Peninsula's first realty board, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Real Estate Board, which had jurisdiction of the entire Peninsula.

In June 1955, the Palos Verdes Estates Board of Realtors formed to cover the territory of the City of Palos Verdes Estates which had incorporated in 1939.

In February 1959, two years after the City of Rolling Hills and the City of Rolling Hills Estates incorporated, a board called the Rolling Hills Board of Realtors formed with a jurisdiction defined as "Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates and Vicinity."

The Palos Verdes Estates Board of Realtors and the Rolling Hills Board of Realtors published joint multiple listing service books.

Both boards revised their boundaries several times over the years and finally merged in 1994 to form the Palos Verdes Peninsula Association of Realtors (PVPAR). PVPAR covers the Peninsula's four cities Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills Estates, Rolling Hills, Rancho Palos Verdes (formed 1973) and an area of unincorporated land in the area.

The Greater South Bay Regional Multiple Listing Service Inc. published Multiple Listing Service Books for properties in cities close to the Peninsula including, Gardena, Hawthorne-Lawndale, and for the Inglewood realty boards, and the Bay Harbor Area, Palos Verdes Peninsula, and South Bay Association of Realtors.
