Wishing Hunter Issac Continued Success: In October 2026, we said farewell to our Government Affairs Director, Hunter Issac, who joined the Coastal family in September 2024. During his time with CAR, Hunter supported our advocacy efforts and built relationships throughout the three counties we serve. While we will miss having him on our team, we are excited for his next chapter with Maryland REALTORS® in the RPAC Division. We thank Hunter for his service, wish him continued success, and look forward to working together in his new role. Once part of the Coastal family, always part of the Coastal family!
