CREA is responsible for National Activities, International Activities, and trademarks such as MLS and Realtor. This statement describes CREA’s role as.

• A. National Activities, International Activities, and trademarks (MLS and Realtor)
• B. Provincial licensing standards
• C. Local board operations
• D. Advertising standards only

Answer: (A)

CREA’s role is defined by its national and international scope and its management of key trademarks like MLS and REALTOR. This describes CREA as the national association that coordinates programs and branding across Canada and beyond, ensuring the MLS system and REALTOR trademark are unified and protected for use by REALTORS nationwide and internationally. Provincial licensing standards are set by provincial regulators, not CREA, and local board operations are handled by local boards or provincial associations rather than the national body. Advertising standards alone wouldn’t capture CREA’s broad mandate over nationwide programs and its brand/trademark stewardship. So the statement best reflects CREA’s national and international activities and its trademarks.
