San Mateo, CA- The state of the local housing market is a highly scrutinized subject matter as the housing market is a barometer of the financial health of San Mateo County.

Nationally known presenter, Nicole Nicolay, CCO, Agent Evolution, will be providing real estate professionals with the real estate technology trends and tools for 2011 during her presentation in the afternoon.
