trouble DISCIPLINE Real Estate Council of British Columbia The Real Estate Council of British Columbia (RECBC) announced August 27 that it has suspended the licence of 8th Avenue Elite Realty Ltd., which does business as 8th Avenue Elite Realty (“Elite”) in Surrey, and has frozen its bank accounts. The RECBC says it suspended Elite’s licence in the public interest, as a result of the failure of the firm to account for trust monies held on behalf of clients. D. Manning & Associates Inc. was appointed receiver on August 27 by order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
