AREA’s Provincial Forms and Practice Committee guides and supports the AREA Member Services group in the management of content related to AREA Forms.

Engage in practice discussions
Discuss how practice issues and themes impact AREA Forms
Discuss how changes from the Regulator or organized real estate impact AREA standard provincial forms
Discuss relevant legislative shifts (i.e. Land Titles, Privacy, Anti-spam, Municipal Government, Dower Act etc.) and their impact on AREA Forms
Discuss case law outcomes and legal community opinions and their impact on AREA Forms
Discuss province-wide standards of practice for the conduct of the business of real estate in Alberta

Given the critical nature of AREA Forms to the practice of real estate, recommendations arising from the Forms and Practice Committee are approved by the AREA Board of Directors.
