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.
Arranged by realty board publisher and publication type; thereunder chronologically. Annual, six month and nine month publications
interfiled.
Includes Multiple Listing Service publications, comparable books, statistical reports, marketing analyses, photo-sold books,
and cumulative indexes covering both investment and residential real estate listings for the Greater South Bay Regional Multiple
Listing Service (1989-1999); Rolling Hills Board of Realtors (1976 – 1990); Palos Verdes Estates Board of Realtors and Rolling
Hills Board of Realtors (1966-1988); and the Torrance-Lomita-Carson Board of Realtors (1980-1984). Collection also includes
