As the seasons change, you should consider the different hazards they bring.

Please check your March statement for your Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) annual dues invoice.

In case you missed it please see the latest update below from CREA on March 13, regarding REALTOR.ca.

To ensure CREB^® members are aligned with the MLS^® System Listing Rules, and maintain data integrity on Pillar 9™, CREB^® Member Practice will once again be running quarterly compliance audits. 

It was disappointing for our members to learn of CREA’s plans for REALTOR.ca in recent articles in REM and Inman.

Being one in 7,000 is a unique thing but when four of our very own REALTORS^® are recognized we have to celebrate.

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) will be surveying members from across the country to identify challenges and opportunities for REALTORS^® relating to inbound and outbound international transactions.

On behalf of all of us here at CREB^®, we would like to wish you a very happy holiday season, and a peaceful and prosperous New Year!

Please note, CREA sent an email last Friday regarding the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act coming into force on Jan. 1, 2023.

Your inner circle is bigger than you think. The Critical Illness Benefit Society (CIBS) is working hard to make sure every CREB^® member is supported during their greatest time of need.

On Jan. 1, 2023, the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians (Foreign Buyers Ban) comes into effect. This is a temporary ban of two years that prevents non-Canadians from purchasing residential property.

CREA’s REALTOR^® Cooperation Policy that was slated to take effect on Jan. 1, 2023, is no longer valid. A more extensive process with increased member feedback has been initiated across Canadian real estate boards and associations regarding this policy.
