I find the CREB website easy to navigate for the most part. Sometimes when Im searching for a specific term, I dont always get the same listings and that can be frustrating.

This building is beautiful has sure gone through many changes over the years. The classroom facilities are top notch so if you get a chance to attend one of the many great classes or meetings here you will not be disappointed. The staff at the main counter are always friendly and prepared to assist with any issues you may have whether it be technical difficulties with lock boxes or purchasing SOLD stickers. I have to admit that I do miss the old days where people had to come here to study rather than doing everything online because this building is set up well for creating interactions with others
