Fair Housing is NOT an Option class will be held IN PERSON.
Fair housing is not an option, it is the law. Fair housing is more than a list of dos and don’ts, rights and penalties and mandatory continuing education. As stewards of the right to own, use and transfer private property, fair housing protects our livelihood and business as REALTORS® and depends on a free, open market that embraces equal opportunity.
The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits housing discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status (protected classes). Californians are further protected from discrimination on the basis of age, marital status, genetic information, sexual orientation, sexual identification, AIDS/HIV, medical condition, political activities and affiliation, military or veteran status, and/or being domestic violence survivors.

ABOUT BILL DEDMAN
 Bill Dedman is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and bestselling author of the biography Empty Mansions. He has worked in online news, video, newspapers, television, and magazines.
Bill got his start in journalism at 16 as a copy boy at The Chattanooga Times. He attended, but did not graduate from, Washington University in St. Louis, where he wrote for the newspaper Student Life and worked part time at The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Bill has written for The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Newsday, and was the first director of computer-assisted reporting for The Associated Press. He has taught advanced reporting part time at the University of Maryland, Northwestern University, Boston University, and Stony Brook University, and served for six years on the board of directors of Investigative Reporters and Editors.
Bill received the 1989 Pulitzer Prize in investigative reporting for The Color of Money, his series of articles in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on racial discrimination by mortgage lenders in middle-income Black neighborhoods. The Color of Money was an influential early example of the power of using computers to gather and analyze public records, combined with shoe-leather reporting to demonstrate how a segregated mortgage market was maintained. The Color of Money led to expanded federal laws on disclosure of loan data, new financing for middle-income homebuyers, and greater awareness of systemic discrimination. Bill has received national journalism awards for online reporting, creative use of interactive tools, deadline reporting, public service, and feature writing.
In eight years with NBC News, reporting online for NBCNews.com and msnbc.com, Bill uncovered stories on the Pentagon's slow efforts to identify servicemen and women killed in past wars, the military police officers who tried to stop coercive interrogations of detainees at Guantanamo, fatal problems with firefighter safety equipment, uninspected highway bridges, the Obama administration's hidden visitor logs, an effort by the Clinton administration to hide Hillary Clinton's college thesis, and lessons learned from studies of school shootings.
Bill stumbled onto the mystery of the reclusive heiress Huguette Clark, who was featured in his series of reports in 2010 on NBCNews.com and the Today show. The Clark series was the most popular story ever on NBCNews.com, with more than 110 million page views. What began as a slideshow and feature story developed into an investigative series, a running daily competitive story, a full-length biography, and now is being developed as a Hollywood film.
He co-wrote the biography Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune, which debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times best seller list and was chosen among the best books of 2013 by critic Janet Maslin, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Goodreads readers.

In conjunction with Flexmls, Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® is proud to be a sponsor of REBar Camp Nashville 2023. And your local leadership would love to see lots of Chattanooga agents take advantage of this fun, informative event.
Get full details and tickets here.
What is it? REBarcamp Nashville is the largest real estate technology training camp in Tennessee and one of the hottest (almost) FREE tickets in the real estate education world today. If you’re obsessed with structure, please don’t come. If you’re obsessed with learning fresh content, we’ve got a place for YOU!
When you arrive, you’ll enter a full room real estate professionals who are here to learn and to share. Next, you’ll be asked to give session ideas that interest YOU the most. The options are as limitless as you want to make them.
Once all the surveys are compiled, the day’s program is created by the event organizer. The 500-1000 barcampers gather around a central, posted schedule and divide into subjects and rooms that interest them most. This organization process is all completed in about 30 minutes and changes throughout the day, based on YOUR needs.
If you’re expecting a stereotypical convention set-up with chairs, projectors and tables, you’ll be shocked. We’re nothing like that. Many participants bring lawn chairs and snacks. It truly is “camp.”
Bring a great attitude and willingness to learn and share. Without YOU there is no camp. See you there!
Still curious what it is exactly, check out this video from a few years ago.
