EZtoFind.ca — Free BC Real Estate Information & Property-Search Platform
An information and property-search site by Doug LeMaire, REALTOR® of Fraser Property Management Realty Services Ltd. Search the live CREA DDF® MLS® feed, browse 240 British Columbia community profiles, and get instant answers from Doogie — an educational guide backed by 440 statute-cited glossary entries.
Practice areas & referral policy: Doug LeMaire personally represents transactions in Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and the Sea-to-Sky Corridor (to Whistler). Community pages and glossary content are published province-wide for research and education, but any consumer viewing a page outside those areas (Interior BC, Vancouver Island, Northern BC, the Kootenays, the Okanagan, etc.) is served by referral only through Doug's network of licensed BC REALTORS® on the appropriate local board (VIREB, IAR, KAR, BCNREB, CADREB). Doug does not personally transact real estate outside his stated practice areas. Request an out-of-area referral.

New buyers and sellers frequently confuse BCFSA and CREA. Here's what each is and why it matters.
As of
BCFSA — BC Financial Services Authority
The provincial statutory regulator for real-estate licensees in BC. Enforces the Real Estate Services Act (RESA), issues licences, sets rules of conduct (DoRTS, MRS, Anti-Money-Laundering), and disciplines licensees.
CREA — Canadian Real Estate Association
The national industry trade association for REALTORS®. Owns the REALTOR® and MLS® trademarks in Canada. Provides shared tools (WEBForms®, DDF®, REALTOR.ca) to member boards + brokerages. Not a regulator.
The relationship
A person licensed by BCFSA to practice real estate in BC may (but is not required to) also be a member of a real-estate board (e.g. GVR, FVREB) and CREA — that membership is what grants use of the REALTOR® trademark and MLS® access.
Who you complain to
For a licensee's conduct, complain to BCFSA. For a REALTOR®'s adherence to CREA's Code of Ethics, complain to their local board or CREA. Two different pathways.
