There has been real estate activity in the Morongo Basin since the 1920’s, if not before. Organized real estate began with the California Real Estate Association recognizing the 29 Palms Realty Board on December 1, 1946. It encompassed the entire Morongo Basin to include Morongo Valley until November 20, 1949.
The 29 Palms Realty Board released Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley and Morongo Valley to the new Pioneer Desert Board of REALTORS® located in Yucca Valley on May 21, 1955. The 29 Palms Realty Board was renamed the 29 Palms Board of REALTORS®.
The Pioneer Board was renamed the Yucca Valley Board of REALTORS® and on November 8, 1955.
The Joshua Tree Board of REALTORS® was formed on January 23, 1962.
In the 1990’s, the California Association of REALTORS® established minimum criteria for the Boards to provide to their members.
In 1995, the Joshua Tree Board of REALTORS® was dissolved and it's members joined the Yucca Valley Board of REALTORS®, and on December 31, 1995, the 29 Palms Board of REALTORS® dissolved and it's members joined the Yucca Valley Board of REALTORS®.
On January 1, 1996 the Yucca Valley Board of REALTORS® was renamed the Desert Communities Association of REALTORS®.
Organized Real Estate has been providing real estate services to the citizens of the Morongo Basin for over 60 years, and looking forward and preparing for the next 60 years.
