THE national president of the country's largest housing industry umbrella group, Chamber of Real Estate and Builders' Associations Inc. (Creba) was to represent the Philippines this year as he served as international director of the Chicago-based National Association of Realtors (NAR) for 2022.

Creba announced the appointment of Noel 'Toti' Cariño at its recent monthly membership forum where the chamber affirmed its bilateral partnership with North America's largest trade association and one of the US' most powerful industry groups. NAR has at least 1.3 million realtor-members across the globe with key alliances in about 70 countries, including the Philippines.
