The REALTORS Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) is the 3rd largest real estate board in Ontario and the 8th largest in Canada, representing over 2900 members[1] in Hamilton, Burlington and surrounding areas.

In the community, RAHB is the largest fundraiser to the CHML/Y108 Children's Fund,[2] a founding member of the Home Ownership Affordability Partnership (in conjunction with the City of Hamilton and the Threshold School of Building),[3] and administrator of the Karan Barker Memorial Scholarship.[4] In November 2006, RAHB grabbed national headlines for its pledge to send Tim Hortons gift certificates to Canadian troops stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan.[5]

Officially founded in 1921,[6] the REALTORS Association of Hamilton-Burlington was previously:

  • the Hamilton Real Estate Board
  • the Metropolitan Hamilton Real Estate Board
  • the Hamilton-Burlington District Real Estate Board

The Association's landmark building on York Boulevard, was acquired in 1990 for $3.8M.[7]
