What this bill does

This bill replaces the 1994 incorporating Act for the New Brunswick Real Estate Association (NBREA), continuing it as the professional regulatory body for real estate trading in New Brunswick with updated governance, registration, discipline, and enforcement powers.

Business impact

Compliance
This bill directly affects real estate agents and brokers working in New Brunswick who hold licences under the Real Estate Agents Act — whether they're solo agents, team members at a brokerage, or broker-owners. Day-to-day, it governs how they get licensed (through NBREA-run education and exams), maintain their registration (by paying annual fees and completing mandatory continuing education), and how complaints or discipline are handled if a client or employer raises concerns about their conduct. Real estate boards operating locally in the province also fall under this Act, which sets the rules for how those boards are structured, governed, and can be dissolved.
