In light of the recent devastating flooding across the Texas Hill Country, TREPAC is partnering with the REALTORS® Relief Foundation to help support those whose lives, homes, and communities have been upended following this heartbreaking event.  

 

“My commitment to advocacy isn’t just about today… it’s about tomorrow. It’s about protecting the American Dream for my children, my grandchildren, and every family I serve. When we as Realtors stand up for a healthy housing market, affordable insurance, fair HOA policies, property tax relief and strong communities, we’re building a future where homeownership remains a foundation of freedom, stability, and opportunity.”

TREPAC Trustee – San Antonio Board of REALTORS®
