Real Estate Organizations



The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is one of Canada's largest single-industry trade associations, representing more than 70,000 real estate brokers/agents and salespeople working through more than 100 real estate boards, 10 provincial associations and one territorial association.
CREA owns the MLS® trade mark and has a proprietary interest in the REALTOR trade mark. The REALTOR trade mark is an assurance of integrity. It can only be used in Canada by members of The Canadian Real Estate Association who accept and respect a strict Code of Ethics. The real estate data base systems operated by our member boards and associations under the MLS® trade mark provide an ongoing inventory of available properties and ensure maximum exposure of properties listed for sale. This is important because most resale homes in Canada go through MLS®.
