The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA; French: L'Association canadienne de l'immobilier, ACI) is a trade association that represents real estate brokers, agents, and salespeople in Canada. CREA's membership includes over 160,000 individuals, working through 61 real estate boards and associations across Canada.

History

CREA was formed in April 1943.

The association is governed by an elected board of directors, which has representation from each region of Canada and features director-at-large positions. The board of CREA currently comprises 16 seats.

In 2024, the Canadian Competition Bureau launched an investigation into CREA over the association's buyer's commission policies.
