Our local association hosts an annual poster contest to promote Fair Housing. I think this is a great opportunity to open discussion about discrimination and its effects. While many will say there no longer exists discrimination, I would disagree, but certainly educating each new generation on how to avoid being discriminatory is key to eliminating it all together in the real estate field.
Here is a brief summary of what is prohibited in the real estate transaction:

maryland: Washington Post reporter calls from my AR blog....
- 10/22/08 10:29 AM
I am fairly new to AR so I was pleasantly surprised when a reporter with the Washington Post called me today as she was doing a piece on real estate and Halloween. She had seen my blog....Halloween Marketing Ideas. I read many blogs about content and length of post and I must say I disagree that longer is better. This post was very short and sweet and yet it accomplished getting my phone to ring. So, if you happen to read the Washington Post and see my name mentioned it was because of my two line blog.

maryland: Brisk Fall morning in Maryland
- 10/18/08 02:33 AM
Brrrrr...it's a brisk Fall morning in Maryland. The air is clean, clear and chilly. What's a real estate agent to do today? I worked so hard this week I am vowed to work form home today. I have 40 pages of relo docs to read, a contract to negotiate, two mailings to complete and of course blogs to read and write. So, today I will spend on my sun porch in my robe with my warm laptop to keep my cozy.

maryland: When are Kids too Old to Trick or Treat???
- 10/06/08 01:23 AM
My grandmother, Nan, used to say we were begging for candy. So that being in my brain I always tried to discourage my kids from trick or treating especially once they hit high school. But, alas, they just loved getting dressed up and "begging for candy". So, what do you think about this and when do you think kids are too old to trick or treat?
