The Real Estate Educators Association is a society of professional instructors dedicated to delivering high-quality sales associates to the nation’s real estate brokers, regulators and, ultimately, consumers. Our challenge is to continually give our members the latest tools and techniques for effective adult education. Our goal is to make sure REEA members meet and exceed the high standards demanded in real estate’s rapidly changing legal and professional environment.
Annually, REEA hosts a national convention where educators can meet and talk one-on-one with the people who write the textbooks, design the computer systems and develop the teaching methods used to launch novice students toward successful careers.
Every quarter, the award-winning REEA Journal focuses on specific business and classroom issues confronting the modern educator.
Every quarter, REEANews updates members on what’s happening in the industry, separating “trends” from “fads,” and “problems” from “opportunities.”
And every day, REEA members can communicate with each other via REEAline where topics routinely range from the ordinary to the extraordinary, all in a spirit of fun and sharing.
REEA is where the nation’s most respected real estate educators meet.
Membership in the Real Estate Educators Association is the single most valuable tool in achieving and maintaining the attributes of successful real estate educators.
All successful people have these characteristics:

- They know the right people.
