The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) is a membership organisation for estate agents (called real estate brokers in the US). It is based in and covers the UK.
It was founded in 1962 by estate agent Raymond Andrews.
It is the UK's leading professional body for estate agents. Its members practice across all aspects of property both in the UK and overseas, including residential and commercial sales and letting, property management, business transfer, auctioneering and land.
The NAEA has a licensing scheme that offers consumer protection
The NAEA's aims are that it shall:
- Promote unity and understanding among estate agents and protect the general public against fraud, misrepresentation and malpractice
- Safeguard its membership and the public against restrictive practices within the profession
- Encourage a high ethical standard of competitive practice combined with commercial experience
- Provide an organisation for land and estate agents and managers, surveyors, auctioneers and valuers for the protection of their collective interest
- Do such things as may be necessary or expedient to sustain or raise the status of land and estate agents and managers, surveyors, auctioneers and valuers, and particularly members of the association as such.
The NAEA's rules were adopted at the inaugural meeting of the association on March 6, 1962 and have subsequently been amended, most recently in 1998
In August 2008 the NAEA entered the UK property portal market by launching their own property listings website Propertylive.

“But the creative person is subject to a different, higher law than mere national law. Whoever has to create a work, whoever has to bring about a discovery or deed which will further the cause of all of humanity, no longer has his home in his native land but rather in his work.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“Our vices always lie in the direction of our virtues, and in their best estate are but plausible imitations of the latter.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away.”
—Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac (1619–1655)
