About

The Alberta Real Estate Association

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

• Locally by their Board/Association
• Provincially by their provincial Association (2021 AREA Annual Report, Strategic Plan)
• Federally by the Canadian Real Estate Association

Each of these three levels of organized real estate cooperate to provide comprehensive services that support REALTORS^®.

As the professional provincial body, the Alberta Real Estate Association (AREA) represents the interests and concerns of more than 11,000 Alberta REALTORS^®, from the 10 local real estate Board/Associations. We provide strategic leadership and advance the Alberta real estate profession through member-centric services, advocacy and professional development.

Our membership work and live in Alberta, which we acknowledge as the traditional and ancestral lands of many peoples presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8 – namely the Blackfoot Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika), the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda and the Tsuu T’ina Nation, and the Métis People of Alberta. We recognize the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today, and those who have gone before. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those on whose territory we reside.
