The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA; French: L'Association Canadienne de l'Immeuble, ACI) is a trade association that represents real estate brokers, agents, and salespeople in Canada.[2]

CREA's membership includes over 130,000 individuals, working through 90 real estate boards and associations across Canada.[2] CREA is governed by an elected board of directors,[5] which has representation from each region of Canada and features director-at-large positions. Currently, there are 16 seats on the board.

History

[edit]

The CREA was formed in April 1943.[6] In 2024, the Canadian Competition Bureau launched an investigation into the CREA over the association's buyer's commission policies.[7]
