Just Talk About the House - Fair Housing In Advertising

That is one topic to avoid. Besides, it is simple to avoid. Fair housing should be so ingrained in us from day one.

That guy sounds like a character.  What a come-back. I think I would have enjoyed his talk.

When I am writing a descriptive marketing blurb for any property,  I read it over and over to make sure that it meets the guidelines without any grey area.  

Lenn his answer is kind of like the way it is with the CFPB and Lenders today :)

Thanks for the re-blog, Lenn!

Not sure about the word exclusive, haven't thought about that. Family, couples, never going to come out of my mouth. 

Thanks for sharing this re-blog, Lenn Harley .  I had not seen the original posting.  Definitely a good reminder that we must all, whether agent or Lender, remain very aware of current rules and regulations about advertising and marketing.  They ARE watching ...

Lenn, I'm going to be taking my Broker's test in a few weeks and went to a refresher course where this subject was discussed a lot. I agree with Jenna, it's best to just talk about the house.

I bet!  Was he wearing jack boots too?  Nothing beats a little power. 

Well, more power beats a little power, so what was I thinking?

Lenn, focus on the house and you are in trouble not! Enjoy your day!

I can only recall one such local incident in our years of practice....and yes, that person is no longer in practice !

Good morning Lenn. Great choice for a re-blog. It is amazing to me, that this topic even needs to be addresses these day, but we all need to re reminded. This stuff is still going on.

Lenn- it really makes a difference when you have a speaker who can hold your attention.  We used to run into similar situations when I placed office support staff.  The good old boys used to try to tell us exactly whom to send but we had to gently explain that we sent qualified applicants regardless of yada yada.   I didn't care to deal with companies who thought otherwise.
