Community Outreach
We're launching our DEIA Community Outreach & Relations Initiative on March 20th, from 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. at the San Francisco African American Arts & Culture District (SFAAACD), 5172 3rd Street, SF, CA 94124.
This kickoff meeting is all about building trust, fostering meaningful connections, and establishing Realtors® as a go-to resource for fair housing, discrimination issues, and real estate needs within the community. This group meets regularly to continue these important conversations and strengthen our impact.

Lunch & Learn: Realtor® Income and Housing Affordability
In 2021, SFAR's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee launched its first SFAR Membership Survey to understand the diversity and experiences of SFAR’s membership. More than 700 Association members provided responses on topics related to demographics, career, personal finances, as well as equity and inclusion.
Grab your lunch and join us on Wednesday, June 1st at noon as DEI Committee Vice Chair, Scott Okamoto, shares a new set of results from this survey. The focus: reported incomes by our members and how this contrasts with housing affordability in San Francisco. It's enlightening! CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
Libations, Light Bites + Film Screening (FREE for SFAR Members!)
Please join the San Francisco Association of Realtors® in collaboration with the Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Memorial Theater for a screening of the Sundance darling and award-winning film, "The Last Black Man in San Francisco", with an intermission dialogue about racial equity, gentrification, and San Francisco.
Rarely does a film hit closer to the heart of our city and our profession. A trailer for the film is here.
Our venue is the Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Memorial Theater - the cultural heart of the Bayview District and reputed to be the oldest theater in San Francisco. Built in 1888, it has just reopened after a $5.5M renovation.
Presented by the SFAR Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, this is the first of hopefully many evenings designed to appreciate thought-provoking art that inspires conviviality and conversation!
Come with open hearts, minds, and opinions. Light bites and libations from neighborhood cafes will be available starting at 5:00 p.m. Seating begins promptly at 6:00 p.m. and the event will finish at 9:00 p.m.
Tickets are FREE for SFAR members and just $20 for non-members! Seating is limited, so get your tickets today. The deadline for tickets is Thursday, March 31st.
