Earn a credential based on demonstrated performance across real estate transactions, compliance, and administrative systems.
CREAS is a professional certification for real estate administrative specialists in Canada and the United States.
Launching April 15, 2026
Real estate depends on administrative precision. Contracts, compliance, timelines, and communication all rely on the people behind the scenes.
Yet until now, there has been no recognized certification focused on real estate administrative roles.
REA University was created to change that.
CREAS is a professional certification for real estate administrative specialists.
It validates real-world competence in transaction management, compliance, timelines, and day-to-day real estate systems.
The certification is competency-based, which means you must demonstrate understanding across all modules to earn it.
This is not a real estate licensing program. It is designed for administrative professionals who support agents, teams, and brokerages.
A real estate administrative specialist manages the operational side of real estate transactions.
This includes coordinating contracts, tracking deadlines, ensuring compliance, organizing documents, and supporting communication between agents, clients, and service providers.
They are responsible for keeping transactions on track from contract to close.
CREAS is designed for individuals who want to build or advance a career in real estate administration.
CREAS is not based on attendance or course completion.
To earn certification, you must demonstrate understanding across 14 modules covering real estate operations. Each module requires a minimum score of 80 percent.
This ensures that certification reflects real capability, not just participation.
CREAS is a structured, competency-based certification delivered online.
CREAS is designed to be completed in approximately 12 weeks, based on 8 to 10 hours per week.
Because it is self-paced, some students complete it faster depending on their schedule and experience.
Agents and brokers have licensing. Commercial professionals have designations.
Administrative professionals have been expected to learn on the job without a clear benchmark.
CREAS sets that benchmark.
CREAS launches April 15, 2026. Join the waitlist to be notified when enrollment opens.
REA University has been training real estate administrative professionals since 2006. CREAS builds on that foundation with a structured, competency-based certification.

Building real-world competence in real estate administration.
