What REALTORS® Should Know About COVID-19

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) continues to highlight the unique challenges facing REALTORS® in ongoing discussions with government departments and agencies. We have had meaningful conversations about the unique challenges facing our members and the potentially devastating outcomes of any interruptions to their day-to-day business.

For this reason, we created this dynamic content hub, a collaboration between all CREA departments. Together, we’re busy providing valuable content and insight into all aspects of how this pandemic is affecting REALTOR® members personally and their work.

This hub is populated with the resources to help REALTORS®, outlining everything you need now, and will need in the future. Come back often to find new information – be it government collaborations, tech information, webinars or how do deal with legal issues. We broke it all down into easy-to-digest categories we believe are relevant to you and your colleagues.
