Last Friday, Jul 20th, I attended the Contra Costa County Women’s Council of Realtors breakfast at Crow Canyon Country Club. Jeff Davi, the Real Estate Commissioner for California was the guest speaker.

I managed to get a photo of Jeff with Angela Muetterties, 2008 WCR President. Angel is a fellow Keller Williams agent in our Danville Market Center. She is excited about growing the Women’s Council of Realtors and increasing community involvement and awareness of WCR.

Walking into the WCR event the first thing you saw was this. These three ladies are from Sugi Healing Arts. What better way to start a Friday??!!! Amy Erez, owner of Sugi, is on the left. I took advantage of the situation. The only drawback was they kicked me out of the chair so Karen Pinkston from Homeguard (on the left) could have a turn.

Jeff Davi spoke for about an hour. He gave us a quick overview of the changes taking place within the California Department of Real Estate and I, for one, think he is moving in the right direction. There is a big focus on brining as much technology as possible into interface between brokers/agents and the DRE.

Jeff covered a lot of subjects and answered many questions. Here is a clip of him addressing the housing affordability situation in California.

We are appreciative of the Women’s Council of Realtors for bringing the Commissioner to Danville and providing us the opportunity to hear what’s happening with the DRE and the housing industry in California.
