President’s Message
Steve Barsanti – 2026 SCRA President
Hello and welcome to SCRA 2026! I’m Steve Barsanti, and I am honored and excited to be your president for the coming year.
South County is home to some of the most productive real estate agents in Santa Clara County, and it is a privilege to hold this position. However, what impresses me most is not just our work ethic, but our deep passion for the community. While we may compete for work, we consistently unite to support our community.
Year after year, we demonstrate this commitment by supporting local charities and helping to feed families during the holiday season through our CanTree fundraising. These efforts include collecting hundreds of pounds of food and raising vital funds for local food banks. Furthermore, our Golf For Graduates Golf Tournament and other fundraising initiatives provide scholarships for local high school graduates. Giving back to our community is a core belief of this association.
This year, my theme for the association will be Engagement and Involvement. While we have achieved great success, I believe we’ve seen a decline in member participation. My primary goal is to reinvigorate our association and encourage more members to actively participate in our daily efforts.
I look forward to a successful and involved year with all of you. Cheers!
Steve Barsanti
