December 27, 2017, SCOTTS VALLEY >> Two agents with Keller Williams Santa Cruz will head industry organizations in 2018. Maggie Barr of Boulder Creek is serving as president of the Women’s Council of Realtors Santa Cruz, following her installation this month.
Renee Mello of Watsonville will be installed as president of the Santa Cruz County Association of Realtors on Jan. 24 at an event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Seascape Golf Club, 610 Clubhouse Drive, Aptos. Tickets are $48 at mysccar.org.
Barr has been on the board or chaired a committee at the Women’s Council of Realtors for four years, starting when she became a real estate agent. She is a member of the Santa Cruz County Women’s Commission and a board member for the Valley Women’s Club.
Barr said the Women’s Council of Realtors is shifting priorities, holding four large industry events next year on topics such as county regulation changes, real estate investing and the changing tax implications of homeownership.
The events will be open to the general public, and Women’s Council of Realtors members will be encouraged to invite clients and business partners.
The first event will be a luncheon 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Dream Inn, with a panel speaking about Santa Cruz County real estate, affordable housing, market trends, short-term rental regulation changes, new residential developments and tax or regulation changes. Cost to attend is $45.
Mello, a broker associate, started in real estate in 1984 and joined Keller Williams in 2008. A certified John Maxwell coach, she said her passion is coaching new agents.
Mello said her priority will be to connect opportunity and responsibility.
Keller Williams Santa Cruz has 110 real estate agents in offices in Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley, and the team leader is Elaine Della-Santina.
