CREA (I), the Confederation of Real Estate Associates, traces its roots back to 2010 when the real estate sector in Karnataka, particularly Bangalore, was experiencing significant growth. As the industry reached a mature phase, customers began demanding more transparency and better-informed intermediation when purchasing properties.
Recognizing this need, a group of experienced real estate associates came together and formally established CREA (I) as a registered body on 26-07-2010. The founding members included Mr. Pradeep Joe of First Estate as President, along with esteemed individuals such as Mr. Sheriff A A, Mr. Ramesh Sadhwani, Ms. Sumitra Iyengar, Mr. R P Agrawal, Mr. Machaiah Cariapaa, Mr. R K Singh, Ms. Rekha Rai Hamilton, and Mr. Suresh Kumar.
Today, CREA (I) boasts a membership of around 250 dedicated real estate professionals, comprising the cream of the associate fraternity in Karnataka. To get a glimpse of our early endeavors, you can view pictures from our first introductory meet, 'CREA (I) Connect,' which took place on 7th April 2011 at Hotel Lemon Tree, Bangalore.
As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain committed to serving the interests of both our members and property buyers by upholding principles of transparency and informed decision-making in the real estate industry.
On 15th May 2012, a groundbreaking bilateral agreement was signed between Mr. Sushil Mantri, President of CREDAI, and Mr. Pradeep Joe, President of CREA (I).
This historic agreement aimed at facilitating mutual business opportunities and the exchange of valuable business insights, fostering a fruitful and symbiotic relationship between the two organizations.
One of the pioneering initiatives by CREA (I), the "Know your Developer" program brings together builders and projects in close proximity to CREA (I) members. Held in an environment conducive to both business and fellowship, these bi-monthly events have proven to be immensely valuable for builders and real estate associates alike.
Several prominent builders have participated in this highly successful initiative, including Vaishnavi, Brigade Group, Puravankara, Nitesh Estates, RMZ, Mantri, and others.

These milestones demonstrate CREA (I)'s commitment to nurturing relationships, facilitating growth, and providing valuable insights to both its members and the real estate industry as a whole.
