By Bob Walsmith Jr.
2022 President
Santa Barbara Association of Realtors
One of the many privileges of being the 2022 Santa Barbara Association of Realtors (SBAOR) President is that I’m able to attend various meetings during the year sponsored by the California Association of Realtors (CAR) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR). This past week was the 2022 Spring CAR meetings in Sacramento. This was the first time that I was able to attend any of these meetings in person. I was so glad that I was there. The number of like-minded deeply caring Realtors that I met was inspiring. This is our political process at its finest. People caring enough about what is right for their clients and neighbors to go to Sacramento and speak with our legislators to facilitate real change and progress.
One of the main purposes of these Spring meetings is the ability for Realtors to meet with our elected officials in Sacramento in person to discuss the topics, subjects and legislation that are important to us both as Realtors, and also as residents of this great state.
