Real Estate in New Brunswick

The practice of real estate in New Brunswick is governed by two separate Acts. An Act to Incorporate the New Brunswick Real Estate Association, promulgated in 1994 and administered by NBREA, is a private member's bill that establishes the Association and describes how it will conduct its business. The Real Estate Agents Act is a government act that allows for the licensing of real estate firms, managers, and salespeople.
