In 1985, founded on the concept of hyper-local connectivity, the Grosse Pointe Board of REALTORS® (GPBR) became one of the last associations within the National Association to be formed other than through merger. At the time, membership was approximately 350 members.
Comprised of REALTORS®, Corporate Partners, and Affiliates seeking valuable resources and a professional environment, the GPBR now supports over 1,800 members. Motivated by a caring mindset and with more than 65 years of experience in the industry, the GPBR volunteer leadership and its Management Team (MT) provides exceptional member experience. The delivery of programs and activities is designed for its members to have more productive, successful, and profitable careers.
As members of the GPBR REALTOR® family, our REALTORS® adhere to a Code of Ethics, a commitment to Fair Housing & Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. In those areas where members live, work, and play, they are also appreciated as part of the fabric of the community.
