In Canada, REALTORS^® are represented at three levels:

• Locally by their Board/Association
• Provincially by their provincial Association (2023 AREA Annual Report, Strategic Plan)
• Federally by the Canadian Real Estate Association

Each of these three levels of organized real estate work together to offer comprehensive services that support REALTORS®.

As the professional provincial body, the Alberta Real Estate Association (AREA) advocates for the interests and concerns of over 14,500 Alberta REALTORS® from the 10 local real estate Board/Associations. We provide strategic leadership and advance the Alberta real estate profession through member-focused services, advocacy, and professional development.
