In mid-December, we shared that the CREB^® Board of Directors had amended some of the CREB^® rules. Some of these amendments resulted from the feedback CREB^® members shared with the Member Practice team, committees and Board of Directors.

One of the great benefits of being a member of CREB^® is having access to critical illness benefits that give you financial protection and peace of mind in the face of a life-changing illness.

The CREB^® board of directors is calling a by-election on Feb. 28, at 4 p.m. after receiving Rob Campbell’s resignation effective Jan. 1, 2024.  

We are well aware of the commentary among some members that weighs the value of membership in CREB^®️ versus other nearby boards, such as the REALTORS^® Association of South Central Alberta (RASCA).

CREB^® is seeking a dynamic and experienced individual to join its Board of Directors as a Public Director. 

In November 2021, a reciprocal agreement for SentriLock was established between CREB^® and Alberta West REALTORS^® Association (AWRA, based in Hinton) as well as the REALTORS^® Association of Lloydminster and District (RALD), to facilitate Pillar 9™’s implementation of the SentriKey Showing Service.

Earlier this year, the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) announced changes to the Residential Measurement Standard (RMS) guidelines, including the introduction of a new Below Grade Measurement Standard (BGMS).

In an effort to enhance clarity and provide our members with a clearer understanding of expectations, we are in the process of updating and amending the CREB^® rules effective Jan. 4, 2024. 

With the provincial government signalling the conclusion of the pandemic status by lifting community health and safety protocols, stakeholders in the real estate sector, including sellers, buyers, occupants, and agents, are increasingly at ease with accommodating property showings.

Members will receive their CREB^® and CREA annual dues statement in the next few weeks.

We’d like to extend a big thank you to everyone who joined us on Dec. 6 for the CREB^® holiday market.

With the year coming to an end, we wanted to remind you of some important CREB^® dates.
