What is & what does CREB do?
CREB is a name that many buyers/sellers may not have heard of before. So, what is this CREB? Basically, CREB stands for Calgary Real Estate Board. Simply speaking, it is a board that assists real estate agents. Through here, agents can effectively communicate with each other & search for the best deals in the market. All the more, this organization provides helpful information for those who buy and sell properties. However, this is not the only advantage it offers to its members. Another feature CREB is most useful with is the real estate listings database. This information, however, is not something that is kept secret or hidden from the public. On the contrary, you can easily Google CREB on the Internet. Here you can obtain a vast, yet limited array of stats & info. The point is – you still need a professional Realtor to help you get the most out of CREB’s system.
Why do we need to search current & past real estate listings in Calgary?
Everything mostly depends on whether you are selling or buying a condo, duplex, townhouse or even commercial property. Based on that, a proficient real estate agent knows what steps to take and when to take them, to accurately help you succeed. Many factors, as follows, are incorporated by Ron Christensen.
Reasons you are selling or buying property
What is your time frame
What is the ultimate goal you want to obtain?
Do you search and buy now, or do you have to sell your existing home first?
Do you think you can do better on your own or do you feel you require professional assistance?
You will probably agree that you do not want to spend unlimited time on the Internet, searching & continuously monitoring thousands of listings. CREB’s “new listing” database is where your real estate agent quickly finds the exact property you are looking for, by entering specific search parameters.

Looking for cheap real estate services?
Okay then, move along, you are on the wrong site:) There are many cases where both buyers, but most sellers, are convinced “cheaper is better”. I honestly believe this can be summed up with these two phrases, “If it sounds too good to be true” and “You get what you pay for“.
