Acerca de
San Mateo County Association of REALTORS, known as SAMCAR, is the professional association for real estate agents, brokers and affiliated businesses in San Mateo County, headquartered at 850 Woodside Way in San Mateo.

The association says it exists to ensure professionalism, protect property rights and promote the ownership of real property, and it represents several thousand REALTORS and affiliates; LinkedIn gives 1995 as its founding year.
Member services
- Membership for REALTORS and for affiliate businesses such as lenders, inspectors and title companies
- Legislative advocacy on housing and property issues at the county and city level
- Professional standards enforcement under the National Association of REALTORS Code of Ethics
- Programs and services intended to help individual REALTORS succeed in their business
Associations of this kind typically also provide continuing-education classes, access to the local multiple listing service through a related body, standard forms, and networking events, though the exact package should be confirmed with the office.
Joining or filing a complaint
Agents new to the county should have their Department of Real Estate licence number and broker affiliation ready and ask about dues, the timing of the membership year, and orientation requirements. Affiliate businesses should ask what sponsorship and event access come with membership. Consumers who believe a REALTOR has breached the Code of Ethics can ask the association about its ethics complaint and arbitration process; this is separate from a complaint to the state licensing agency, and the association can explain which route fits. The lobby keeps business hours, so call before visiting.
Peninsula coverage
Members work throughout San Mateo County, including San Mateo, Burlingame, Foster City, Belmont, Hillsborough, Millbrae, San Carlos and Redwood City. Woodside Way sits in northeastern San Mateo close to Highway 101 and the Peninsula Avenue exit.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioWhat is the difference between a REALTOR and a real estate agent?
Every REALTOR holds a state real estate licence, but the term refers to membership in the National Association of REALTORS and its local associations, which binds the member to a Code of Ethics. Ask an agent whether they belong to the local association.
How do I file a complaint about a REALTOR in San Mateo County?
Contact the local association and ask for its professional standards process, which handles ethics complaints and arbitration between parties. Complaints about licence violations go instead to the California Department of Real Estate; the association can tell you which fits.
What does membership cost and when does it start?
Dues are typically set annually and combine local, state and national portions, sometimes prorated for mid-year joiners. Call the office for the current schedule, any application fee and the orientation required of new members.
Can a non-member attend association classes or events?
Many associations open some education and events to non-members at a different price, while member-only benefits such as forms and certain services require joining. Ask the education desk which programs are open to the public.
