April is National Fair Housing Month.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Crescent Realty, Inc. Spanaway, WA.

If you're a member of NAR, you've already received your copy of Focus for the month of April.  In addition to a couple of decent articles the April issue opens up to become an attractive poster proclaiming the month of April as National Fair Housing Month.

 While preparing for today's sales meeting I've decided that it would be appropriate to ensure that everyone in our organization is totally on board with fair housing and civil rights.  So as part of today's sales meeting I'm dusting off the section of our licensing exam that deals with fair housing and civil rights and having a little "pop quiz".

Even old dogs like me need a refresher now and again.

Strange that NAR would publish something with that headline. In this business, EVERY month is Fair Housing Month.

Strange that NAR would publish outdated information.  Fair Housing is NOW State and AREA specific and while NAR may be able to publish the federal protected classes, agents should look to their state and local fair housing offices for this information.

Virginia has ELDERLINESS as a protected class!
