The Greater Montréal Real Estate Board (GMREB), or Chambre immobilière du Grand Montréal in French, is the second largest real estate board in Canada.{{cite web|url=http://www.cigm.qc.ca/en/lachambre.html|title=Greater Montreal Real Estate Board: Welcome|accessdate=2007-04-07}}

History

Created in 1954, GMREB is a not-for-profit association that represents almost all of the 10,000 real estate brokers in the Montréal Metropolitan Area.{{Cite book|last=Trent|first=Peter|title=Merger Delusion: How Swallowing Its Suburbs Made an Even Bigger Mess of Montreal|publisher=MQUP|year=2012|isbn=9780773539327|location=Montreal.

GMREB plays a role in representing its members among government authorities, the media, the public and various industry-related associations. It issues press releases on real estate topics, as well as monthly statistics for the real estate market.

In 2013, GMREB voted to break away from the Canadian Real Estate Association, and removed all listings from their national website, Realtor.ca.{{Cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/real-estate-agents-break-away-from-canadian-real-estate-association/article15992444/|title=Montreal Real estate agents break away from Canadian Real Estate Association|website=The Globe and Mail|date=16 December 2013 |access-date=2016-04-11}}

However, as of November 2018, CREA displays real estate listings from Montreal on their website.
