June Barlow

June Babiracki Barlow is the general counsel and senior vice president of the California Association of Realtors, the largest trade association in the state. With a deep understanding of the real estate industry, she has led a team of skilled attorneys for over twenty years, assisting real estate professionals in achieving success and managing risks.

In the aftermath of the devastating 2018 California wildfires, June and her legal department played a crucial role in establishing the C.A.R. Disaster Relief Fund. This charitable organization accepts donations and provides housing assistance grants to those who lost their homes in the tragic fires. Additionally, she spearheaded the creation of Californians for Homeownership, a legal foundation dedicated to advocating for affordable housing and combating Not in My Backyard policies. The pressing issue of housing affordability in California has forced middle and lower-income families to allocate a significant portion of their income towards rent, leaving little for other essential needs such as food, healthcare, and transportation. As a result, younger Californians are unable to become homeowners and enjoy the financial security and wealth-building opportunities that their parents once had.
