Ghana Real Estate Professionals Association

What Ghana Real Estate Professionals Association does

Ghana Real Estate Professionals Association (GREPA) is a non-profit professional trade association founded in 2011 in Accra, Ghana, serving as the country's first real estate professionals association and the first in West Africa. It provides a multi-tier membership program (seven tiers from $27 Student to $1,000 Corporate Sponsorship per year) for licensed real estate salespersons, brokers, developers, property managers, lawyers, banks, academics, and diaspora professionals, and is structured around four pillars: Professional Standards, Education, Technology, and Advocacy.

GREPA's core technology asset is the Loop Ghana MLS (powered by Xposure), described as Africa's first Multiple Listing Service, which enables members to list properties, syndicate to global platforms including Realtor.com, and access verified property data. The association's education arm, ACME Institute of Real Estate, received REAC accreditation in January 2026 to deliver licensing programs under Ghana's Real Estate Agency Act, 2020 (Act 1047), and a new digital regulatory learning platform was activated in May 2026 under a multi-year ARELLO Foundation grant (2026-2028). A proposed Ghana National Property Data System (GNPDS) is in development with Ghana's Ministry of Communications, Technology and Innovation.

GREPA generates revenue from annual membership dues across tiers, MLS subscription fees denominated in Ghana Cedis, training program and certification fees (CIPS, ABR, e-PRO, CCIM, PSA, GREEN, CPM), and conference and event revenue from its flagship annual Africa Real Estate Conference & Expo (ARCE) plus US-Ghana Trade & Investment missions. Distribution is primarily direct-to-member via repagh.org (built on ClubExpress) with regional outreach across Ghana and international partner channels through NAR (bilateral partnership since November 2015), FIABCI, IHC Global, IESC, and CCIM Institute. GREPA holds a seat on the Board of Directors of Ghana's Real Estate Agency Council (REAC) and was instrumental in developing Act 1047.
