CREB^®’s Government Relations Team (GRT) is advocating for CREB^® members at all levels of government. Here’s a closer look at what’s in play and what’s coming up.

Municipal advocacy

Every quarter, the GRT fosters meaningful connections with civic leaders by sharing ward-specific statistics publications with City Councillors and the Mayor. These packages help to keep real estate at the forefront of conversations and reinforce the messaging that:

1. Calgary and area REALTORS^® interact with housing consumers daily and are a trusted voice for information on the local housing market; and
2. Housing and home ownership is a core priority that must be on the agenda at City Council.

Provincial & Federal advocacy

CREA’s PAC days are coming up in mid-October and AREA’s Government Liaison Days will be held in late November. Members of the GRT will attend both events to represent CREB^® and our members’ interests at both the provincial and national level.

When you talk, we listen and make decisions based on your feedback. In the latest CREB® Member Satisfaction Survey, CREB® members  told us it’s important to make meaningful connections with civic leaders through government relations and advocacy. CREB® is responding with targeted outreach from our Government Relations Team (GRT) to reinforce our position on key policy issues and demonstrate the unique knowledge and expertise that CREB® members posses about the local housing market.
