The Calgary Real Estate Board is a non-profit, voluntary membership organization with more than 5,500 licensed brokers and associates. The Calgary Real Estate Board was formed to serve the needs of professionals in the real estate business. Their primary function is the maintenance of the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). The MLS is an important tool used in the buying and selling of real estate.
Originating in the early 1920s, The Calgary Real Estate Board was registered in March 1929 in accordance to the Statutes of Alberta. Throughout the 1930's and until the early 1940's the group was fairly dormant, when Mr. Kennett Lyle a real estate professional took an interest in revitalizing the board to help serve the needs of the real estate professionals. At that present time, there were no other professional groups for real estate agents. One of the earlier Presidents, Mr. Clair J. Cote, Sr. was elected as chairman and Lyle as secretary. The board also put together 5 committee members to rewrite the organization's constitution. They also set a membership fee schedule, $5 for active members and $2 for an associate membership.
