Which components make up the three tiers of the Canadian real estate professional trade organization?

• A. Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), Provincial/Territorial associations, and real estate boards (localized)
• B. Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), National Licensing Authority, and Mortgage Boards
• C. Provincial Real Estate Councils, City Boards, and Financial Authorities
• D. Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), Local Brokerage Alliances, and Insurance Boards

Answer: (A)

The arrangement is CREA at the national level, provincial/territorial associations in the middle, and local real estate boards at the bottom. CREA represents REALTORS across Canada and sets national standards and advocacy. Provincial or territorial associations coordinate licensing, education, and provincial-level support for members. Local real estate boards operate within specific communities, providing MLS services, local market data, and member services to REALTORS in that area. The other options mix in bodies that aren’t part of the standard three-tier structure—such as a national licensing authority, mortgage or insurance boards, or city-specific entities—so they don’t fit the established framework.
