REALTORS : Defending the Rights
of Home Owners Since 1908.
The National Association of REALTORS ® takes great pride in
protecting the American Dream of home ownership. We feel
that home ownership is under attack and being threatened for
the first time in generations.
Please join our efforts in making sure that elected officials
and governmental bodies are aware of housing issues and
how they affect all Americans. Our goal is to make every
home owner and future home owner aware of the issues
that currently surround home ownership. Help us defend the
rights of home owners.

February is Black History Month
February marks the beginning of black History Month – an annual celebration that has existed since 1926. But what are the
origins of Black History Month? Much of the credit goes to Harvard Scholar Dr. Carter G. Woodson who was determined to
bring Black History into the mainstream public arena. Woodson devoted his life to making “the world see the Negro as a participant rather than as a lay figure in history.”
In 1926, Woodson organized the first annual Negro History Week, which took place during the second week of February. Woodson chose this date to coincide with the birthday of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln – two men who had greatly
impacted the black population.
Over time, Negro History week evolved into the Black History Month that we know today- a four-week-long celebration of African American History.

Fair Housing Corner
BUILDING A
NATION OF NEIGHBORS
“Ordinarily, when I cannot relate to a homebuyer, I refer the homebuyer to another salesperson
whose personality is better suited to the homebuyer’s. Can I continue to follow this procedure if
the homebuyer is a minority?”
Key Points
•
Personality conflicts with a homebuyer can occur and should be handled carefully to avoid any charges of
discrimination.
Areas of Liability
•
Avoid any criteria for reassigning homebuyers that are based on race, or that can be interpreted in any way as being
based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Actions to Take
•
•
Brokers: Never assign homebuyers to sales associates on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial
status, or national origin. Never assign minority sales associates to work solely with homebuyers interested in
relocating to predominantly minority residential areas.
Sales Associates: If you find that you are having personality conflicts with a
homebuyer and a reassignment is necessary, it should be made by the principal
broker or sales manager. Your broker or manager should investigate the reasons given
for the reassignment to ensure no racial bias or prejudice has occurred. Interview
the homebuyers to determine their feelings and preferences in the matter. If a
September 13-14, 2016
reassignment is made, try to assign the homebuyers to a sales associate of the same
race as the original sales associate. If the homebuyers request a sales associate of a
specific race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, the circumstances of the reassignment
should be carefully documented.
Suggested Response
Broker to sales associate:
“Just what is the problem between you (a
white sales associate) and Mr. and Mrs. Hollins
(a black couple)? I realize that people from the
Midwest may not be able to appreciate how
much more expensive housing is here in the
Bay Area. You know Fred (another white sales
associate) is originally from the Midwest and he
just put Mr. and Mrs. Smith (a white couple) from
Des Moines in a nice ranch last week. Maybe he
will have better luck with the Hollinses. Do you
mind if he tries to help them?”

Supra Hot Tip
Lockbox Exchange
In March, 2016, The Greater La Crosse MLS will be facilitating a lockbox exchange. As Bluetooth
technology is now available, we will be exchanging Boxes on a one for one, upgrading the Supra
iBox to the Supra iBox BT LE.
This is exciting! This will allow our members to load the eKEY® app on their smartphone or Tablet, to open lockboxes
and transmit real time showing information to the SupraWEB data system. This upgrade to Bluetooth technology, boxes
will give our members a choice to upgrade to the eKEY® or continue with their Display KEY. At the exchange, boxes will be
exchanged and members can upgrade to eKEY ® if they choose. Training will also be available during the exchange period.
The purpose of this notice is to encourage Companies to update their lockbox inventories. Now is the time to locate lost
boxes and establish an accurate count. In February, a notice will go out to brokers requesting number of boxes they will
have available for the exchange. For companies that have an inventory of 100 boxes or more , we will offer a different procedure that will help facilitate this
exchange more efficiently for you. Watch your email for further direction. The exchange will take place the last week of March. The exact date will be determined shortly. This is an exciting time. There are many additional benefits to the iBox BT LE, like a larger key container and improved ease
of use while realizing the shackle. Access to lockboxes using your Smart Phones is an upgrade that will allow members to
utilize technology more efficiently
If you have any questions, please call me at 608-785-7744.
Violation of MLS Rules and Regulations to Loan Your Lock Box Key
It is clearly a violation of the MLS Rules and Regulations to loan your key to another agent
or any other person. Violation of this rule will result in a $250 fine with subsequent violations increasing by $250. Such violations may result in the loss of card privileges. It is the
responsibility of each agent leasing a card to maintain control of their card at all times.

WI CE Dates Set for 2016
MN CE Required Module Set for 2016
What is Leap Year?
The dates are set for WI Continuing Education for 2016.
Please mark your calendar for
the following:
WI CE 1 / 2 – March 22, 2016
WI CE 3 / 4 – April 6, 2016
WI CE A / C – May 19, 2016
On March 3, 2016 we will be offering
the MN 7.1.15-6.30.16 Salesperson &
Broker Required Module. Fair Housing, Agency & Legal Update.
The simple reason for leap year is that the
time it takes the Earth to complete one orbit
about the Sun (1 year) is not evenly divisible
by the time it takes the Earth to complete
one rotation about its axis (1 day).
Chris Prescott – The Prescott Group
from Minneapolis will be our Instructor. This required course will satisfy
the 3.75 house of Real Estate Continuing Education. It will also satisfy the
1.0 Fair Housing requirement, the 1.0
Hour Agency Law Requirement, and
the required Broker Training.
Instead, the number of days it takes the
Earth to complete one orbit about the Sun is
approximately 365.25. Thus, in years divisible by four, we add a day to the calendar to
“catch up.”
All CE will take place at Cedar
Creek. Our Instructor for all
three days is Attorney Jonathan Sayas. Please check out
the flyers in this issue of the
River City REALTOR® for all
details! Sign up today!
It will be held at Cedar Creek. Check
out the flyer attached in this newsletter edition and sign up today.
But this isn’t the whole story. Because
increasing the length of a year by a day
every four years catches up a little too
much, when a year is divisible both by 100
and not by 400, it is not a leap year! So 2000
was a leap year (it’s divisible by both 100
and 400), but 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not
(they’re divisible by 100, but not by 400.)
