National Association of Real Estate Boards

In the early days, real estate conventions were North American affairs. In fact, the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges’ (later, NAREB; now NAR) first Code of Ethics was approved at the 1913 Annual Convention in Winnipeg. In 1930, an estimated 6,000 U.S. REALTORS® travelled to join their Toronto colleagues at the convention.
