Today marks our 75th anniversary – high five for 75! 

Our legacy is long and storied, dating back to the 1920s when real estate professionals united with a collective desire to enhance professionalism, advocate for the industry’s development and better serve the community. 

Fast forward three-quarters of a century and our basic mandate hasn’t waivered. The technology and tools have certainly evolved, but our basic philosophy and approach to member service remains intact and number one.

To celebrate this historic milestone, we’re going to keep the momentum going all year long, focusing on the following quarterly themes in 2018: 

Q1 – Our roots and the way we were 

• A look back at CREB^®’s inception and how the board functioned in those days.

Q2 – The evolution of the board and business

• An opportunity to consider the influence of our founding members and how their legacy helped shape the local industry. 

Q3 – How far we’ve come in Calgary and area real estate

• An exploration of the pivotal moments and periods in time that propelled the Caglary and area real estate market into such a dynamic and multifacted business.

Q4 – Building our future from a solid past

• Where do we go next – as a board and industry? A look at CREB^®’s plan for the future and how we are preparing to drive member value in the next few years.
