This article is about the Canadian Real Estate Association. For other uses, see CREA.

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) represents over 86000 realtors (including brokers, agents, and salespeople) across Canada.

A growing dispute between full-service and discount brokers led to proposed changes to the Multiple Listings Service. In September 2006, the controversial amendments were referred back to CREA's board of directors for further study and consultation. The board expects to release its report in March 2007.[1][2]
