NAEBA History

NAEBA was founded in 1995, when the time had come for someone to look out for the best interests of the real estate buyer. Traditional Realtor representation in real estate transactions favored the seller, but starting in the mid-1990s, it became the buyers' turn to level the playing field. Savvy buyers wanted the benefits of a real estate representative working for their interests exclusively. They turned to EBAs, Exclusive Buyer Agents, to do the job, and we founded NAEBA, an industry group dedicated to supporting EBAs in serving clients to the best of their ability.

With our industry standard CEBA certification, ongoing education, client referral service, technology and information sharing, NAEBA and its members quickly became the benchmark for Exclusive Buyer Agent excellence.
