Government Affairs
a sincere “thank you” is due to our 294 samcar members who invested in the 2012 realtor® action fund. a strong pac is vital to the success of our industry.
Your investment, which exceeded the mandatory political assessment, demonstrates a strong commitment towards maintaining samcar’s political involvement throughout San Mateo County and ensures that the voice of organized real estate is heard at the local, state and national levels. In light of the country’s economic crisis, the real estate industry faces significant threats to your ability to do business. Your investment in realtor® political activity is more crucial than ever. For example, point-of-sale mandates for sewer lateral inspections continue to be an issue as are the 'mandatory safety inspections’ in South San Francisco. Additionally, some of our industry’s core policies are subject to significant change or outright elimination on the federal and state level such as the Mortgage Interest Deduction and changes to fha, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Your ability to do business and your clients’ ability to buy and sell their homes could be adversely impacted if we do not continue our legislative advocacy efforts. Thank you for your investment and setting the example for your colleagues. We appreciate your involvement and dedication to ensuring that the real estate industry maintains its vital and influential role in politics and policymaking.
