SAMCAR Meets with Congressmember Mullin to Discuss Realtor Priorities
On Wednesday, April 5, 2023, SAMCAR members Sue Walsh (FPC Coordinator), Paul Beaudreau, Judy Taylor, Frank Vella, Jerome Madigan, and SAMCAR Government Affairs Director Fernando Peña met with Congressmember Kevin Mullin to discuss research/data, fair housing, inventory, supply, and affordable housing. The purpose of the meeting was to reinforce National Association of REALTORS (NAR) priorities, provide the Congressmember with a new resource team, and for members of SAMCAR to weigh in locally on important topics impacting the real estate industry at the local, state, and federal levels.

Case Study: Potential Cost Range of All-Electric Conversion
The SAMCAR Government Affairs Committee commissioned a study on the cost of converting a home to electric-only with estimates from eight electrical contractors in San Mateo County and a pool service company. The appliances, services, and range of costs in this study comprise a "menu" of possible options. Some homes will require only few of the options, others will require most, and some may require all.
