Over 2,000 Realtors and affiliates from the state of California gathered in Sacramento on Wednesday, June 6, for Legislative Day. Over 30 Realtors and affiliates from SAMCAR, including members of the Board of Directors, joined their counterparts at the state capital for the event, which is organized by the California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.) every year.
