CREA Launches New Certified Real Estate Team Specialist (C-RETS) Designation

Teamwork is an important part of any successful brokerage. For this reason, the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is pleased to now offer the Certified Real Estate Team Specialist (C-RETS) designation to all members. C-RETS courses provide the tools needed to help brokers, team leaders, and members operate effectively as a team.

This designation is provided through a partnership with the Real Estate Business Institute (REBI), an affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). CREA’s Learning Hub will track your course completions, but all other designation requirements are tracked and monitored by REBI.

Those who complete CREA’s two C-RETS courses within four years will receive their C-RETS designation from REBI.

This spring, we will be offering two C-RETS courses:
