The Fair Housing Challenge has three components:

A Message from 2022 SAR President Erin Stumpf

Dear SAR REALTOR®and Affiliate Members,

2022 SAR President I’m very excited to begin my term as your 2022 SAR President! Thank you for your trust in electing me to serve our members at this level. Like you, I am a working REALTOR®, and I’ve been a full-time Sacramento real estate broker/REALTOR® since 2005. Are we all loving the new RPA yet? In addition to serving my clients, and serving SAR, I’m also active with our state and national associations of REALTORS®, serving in various leadership positions at those levels as well. I am hopeful that this global view of the inter-relation of our trio of associations will assist me as I seek to help guide our association this year.
