Pat Combs, REALTOR® 2007 NAR President Grand Rapids, MI

“Fair Housing

still needs

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

It’s not just a black and white issue.

” attention.

Pat Combs entered the real estate business

a few years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968. She recalled it being a “contentious time” for both REALTORS® and the public. Armed with fair housing training from the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of REALTORS®, Pat faced off against discriminatory neighbors and homeowners. Ignoring verbal harassment and physical threats, she devoted her time in the Grand Rapids Association of REALTORS® to help in creating better training programs in partnership with her local Fair Housing Center to ensure that fair housing truly was for all. Now, Pat says, “We need to ask ourselves “what we can do as REALTORS®, as United States citizens.”

April 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. We salute REALTORS® like Pat Combs who have driven NAR’s contributions to the fair housing movement, and we understand there’s progress yet to be made.

Visit www.FairHousing.realtor to read more about Pat and to join the commemoration.

Virginia Folklife Program Announces Apprenticeship Class of 2018-2019 The Virginia Folklife Program at Virginia Humanities announces the 2018-2019 class of Master Artists in the Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Program. Master artists are selected through a competitive process in all forms of Virginia’s expressive cultures.

The eight new teams join more than one hundred pairs of masters and apprentices who have taken part in the Apprenticeship Program since its inception in 2002.

On Sunday, May 6, from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m., the Virginia Folklife Program will partner with James Monroe’s Highland to host the Folklife Apprenticeship Showcase at the historic home of James Monroe. Now in its fifteenth year, the Showcase is a free, family-friendly event that celebrates the traditional music, crafts, and foodways of Virginia, introducing the public to the master artists and apprentices who keep the traditions alive.

At the Apprenticeship Showcase on Sunday, May 6, audiences will enjoy more than ten live musical performances and a dazzling display of engaging demonstrations. Special guests include the Twin Creeks Stringband, one of Southwest Virginia’s finest oldtime bands, among many others.

Featured foods include real Brunswick stew by the Proclamation Stew Crew, a “soul supper” prepared by the Ingram Family of Richmond, fried apple pies from Frances Davis, and oysters shucked by world champion oyster shucking sisters, Deborah Pratt and Clementine Macon Boyd.

“Through this unique program, we work with incredibly accomplished musicians and craftspeople who are dedicated to passing along vitally important art forms to future generations,” said Jon Lohman, Virginia State Folklorist and director of the Virginia Folklife Program. “Participants in this year’s showcase exemplify the remarkable range and diversity of folk traditions in Virginia.”

Introducing the 2018–2019 Master Folk Artists and their apprentices: • Master gospel singer Cora Harvey Armstrong of King and Queen County and apprentice Samantha Willis • Master of jazz and swing guitar Bert Carlson of Bath County and apprentice Danny Knicely • Master baklava maker Sondus Asad Moussa of Harrisonburg and apprentice Sanaa Abdul Jalil • Master hotrod car builder Jeff Bennett of Roanoke and apprentice Jeremy Bennett • Master of Vietnamese Dan Bau (monochord instrument) Nam Phuong Nguyen of Fairfax County and apprentice Anh Dien Nguyen

• Master Mongolian contortionist Mandkhai Erdembat of Falls Church and apprentices Emma and Ella Chuluunbat • Master moonshine maker Chris Prillaman of Franklin County and apprentice Tanner Talley • Returning master of the Galax-style dulcimer Phyllis Gaskins of Rockingham County and apprentice Anna Stockdale Celebrating the completion of the 2017–2018 Master Folk Artists and their apprentices: • Master candy maker Gene Williams of Chesapeake and apprentice Lee Bagley • Master of logsmithing Gary Horton of Carroll County and apprentice Tommy Horton • Master Sephardic ballad singer Susan Gaeta of Fairfax County and apprentice Gina Sobel • Master of soul food cooking Christine Ingram-Murphy of Henrico County and apprentice Cheryl Yancey • Master of Bolivian mesa ceremonies and rituals Julia Garcia of Arlington and apprentice Gloria Encinas • Master banjo maker Greg Galbreath of Giles County and apprentice Peter Keller • Master fiddler Nate Leath of Rockingham County and apprentices Eli and Aila Wildman • Returning master decoy carver Grayson Chesser of Accomack County and apprentices Drew Sturgis, P.G. Ross, Mark Ross, and Andy Dunton • Returning master of classical Iranian and Persian music Nader Majd of Fairfax County and apprentice Ali Reza Analouei The Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Program pairs experienced master artists with gifted apprentices for one-on-one, nine-month learning experiences, ensuring that art forms are passed on in ways that are conscious of history and faithful to tradition.

More than workshops or lessons, apprenticeship learning takes place in the art forms’ traditional contexts, calling upon the complete engagement of the senses and contextualizing the practices within the larger cultural landscape.

The Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Program receives funding support from the National Endowment for the Arts, an Anonymous Donor, Friends of Folklife individual donors, UVA Community Credit Union, and Quantitative Investment Management.

Mountain Valley Pipeline’s Plan to Extend Its Path The corporations behind the proposed Mountain Valley Pipeline announced today that they want to run the project 70 more miles, through parts of southern Virginia and into North Carolina. This would extend the dire impacts into even more communities, pollute more streams and wetlands, and destroy more valuable natural resources - all in the name of profits.

The new disclosure raises questions

Virginia Humanities announces the creation of the George A. and Frances Bibbins Latimer Fund (the Latimer Fund) to support grants exploring African American life and achievement in Virginia. The fund has been established as a permanent endowment through a generous gift from Mr. George A. Latimer, of Kissimmee, Florida, in memory of his wife, Mrs. Frances Bibbins Latimer.

The sole purpose of the Latimer Fund is to provide grants to nonprofit organizations based in the Commonwealth of Virginia to support educational projects on African American history and culture in the state. Virginia Humanities anticipates that at least $5,000 will be awarded from the fund annually, with the initial Latimer Fund grant award(s) made by the Virginia Humanities Board of Directors in December 2018. Nonprofit organizations across the state are encouraged

UVA Community Credit Union Welcomes New Staff Members Cindy Swigert and Dave Esworthy UVA Community Credit Union welcomes Cindy Swigert as the new VP Human Resources (HR).

Swigert has two decades of experience leading HR groups at credit unions and before that was President of an HR consulting firm.

“We are fortunate to have found someone with Swigert’s expertise and breadth of experience,” says Alison DeTuncq, the Credit Union’s President/ CEO. “That experience will help us attract and retain talented staff and build effective organizational development programs.”

Swigert joined the Credit Union from Day Air Credit Union in Kettering, Ohio, where, as interim Vice President of Human Resources, she oversaw the integration of employees from a newly acquired credit union, strengthened essential HR functions, and enhanced employee training. Before that, Swigert served as Chief Human Resources Officer for the $1.9 billion United Federal Credit Union, headquartered in St. Joseph, Michigan.

“I am very excited by the opportunity to be part of the team that is taking UVA Community Credit Union to a higher level,” Swigert says. “I am looking forward to working with senior management and the HR team, while launching new career growth and personal development initiatives.”

Swigert holds a B.S. in Psychology, a B.A. in Personnel Administration from Michigan State University and an M.B.A. from Indiana Wesleyan University.

UVA Community Credit Union also welcomes David Esworthy to the post of SVP Lending & Retail Delivery.

Esworthy, a 20-year industry veteran, earned a doctorate from the

George Washington University Executive Leadership Development Program.

He joined the Credit Union from First United Bank and Trust in Frederick, Maryland, where, as Market President, he led Retail and Business Banking, Wealth Management, and Mortgage Lines of Business.

“David is an exceptionally good fit for the Credit Union,” says Alison DeTuncq, the Credit Union’s President/ CEO. “He has managed flourishing branch networks for institutions of our size and larger, enhanced the services they offer, and participated in strategic planning initiatives for future growth.”

Esworthy has also been active in community organizations. He served on the Board of Directors of the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce; East Frederick Rising, a local community development organization; and the Farhney Keedy Home and Village, a nonprofit senior living community.

“I have long admired the “People Helping People” philosophy of the credit union, so it is a great honor for me to be selected for this post,” Esworthy says. “As member-owned, local financial institutions, I think credit unions are ideally positioned to strengthen communities in which they serve.”

Esworthy also holds a B.A. in History from Gettysburg College and an M.A. in Administration and Management from Hood College Graduate School.

About Frances Bibbins Latimer: Ms. Latimer was one of Virginia’s leading community historians. She was a native of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, and the Shore was the primary focus of her research and writing, but her passion for African American history extended far beyond. She was a founding member of the Eastern Shore Regional Humanities Council and the author and editor of more than a dozen books, two of which, Landmarks and Life for Me Ain’t Been No Crystal Stair, were supported by Virginia Humanities prior to her death in 2010.

“Frances—or Bea, as her friends knew her—was a tireless researcher and an accomplished historian whose work embodies the values of the humanities,” said David Bearinger, Virginia Humanities’ director of Grants and Community Programs. “She was a generous and patient teacher whose lifelong commitment to telling the history of the Shore and the stories of its African American communities inspired all of us who knew her.”

“Bea’s love for African American history, especially on the Eastern Shore, was at the heart of her life’s work,” said Mr. Latimer. “She also believed strongly in the mission of Virginia Humanities. Establishing this fund in her memory helps ensure that the work she loved and believed in will continue all across Virginia and far into the future.”

For more information about the George A. and Frances Bibbins Latimer Fund, or to make a donation to the fund, contact David Bearinger at 434924-3989; dab@virginia.edu. Grants from the Fund will be made in accordance with Virginia Humanities’ established guidelines and review procedures.

Virginia Humanities Announces Latimer Fund for Grants Exploring African American Life and Achievement in Virginia

to apply through Virginia Humanities’ Open Grant Program.

The intent is to grow the Latimer Fund over time into a major force for continuing the exploration of African American history and African American perspectives on American and Virginia history. Additional donations to the fund, of any size, are welcomed and will expand the number and impact of this important initiative.

NEWS & VIEWS

as to whether MVP, LLC intended to make this addition to the project from the start and, if so, whether the regulatory approvals already given were based on sound assessments of overall need and impacts. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission should not allow this attempt to segment a huge infrastructure project and gain approvals based on an incomplete picture. Instead, FERC should reopen the licensing process that it previously conducted to make sure that the cumulative impacts of MVP, which the Commission previously refused to adequately assess, are now properly counted to protect the public interest.

“Citizens have repeatedly pointed out that FERC’s environmental impact review process for MVP was grossly deficient, in part because of the narrow view the Commission adopted. The project’s effects, stretching all the way from the fracking fields to the points of combustion, should be assessed as one system but FERC refused to take this holistic approach,” stated Misty Boos, Director of Wild Virginia.

David Sligh, Wild Virginia’s Conservation Director, added: “MVP seems to be using a tactic many developers have tried in the past. Get approvals for one piece of a larger scheme, begin the destruction, and then use that as leverage to get the next segment approved.”

Wild Virginia and our allies will stand beside those citizens of the newly target areas to oppose this addition to MVP as strenuously as we’ve fought the project so far.

rom very early days, horses have been a big part of Virginia’s lifestyle and economy. The first Colonists brought their favorite Thoroughbreds from England in the early 1600s. However they weren’t the first equines in the area.

Native Americans also owned horses thought to be descended from those brought by Spanish Conquistadors who arrived even earlier. The crossing

of these two bloodlines resulted in the American Quarter Horse.

Horse racing was a popular sport in Colonial Virginia, and the first official American Quarter Horse races were believed to have been held in Henrico County as early as 1674.

Today horse enthusiasts participate in a host of equine-related events from weekend trail riding to fox hunting, racing and dressage.

Some come from outside the area for these activities, spend their money

and go home. After a few visits, or after they retire, they may decide to stay permanently buying enough property to keep and enjoy their horses at home.

Regardless of what brings them, horse lovers have a lot of company.

The Commonwealth is home to over 215,000 equines and the site of 1,200 events, shows, trail rides and other horse-related activities that attract nearly a million visitors annually.

Charlottesville’s Foxfield Races, which take place this Saturday, April

28, and on Sunday, September 30, are a good example. The 25,000 plus attendees at the spring race are described as “vivacious.” Family-friendly activities in the fall feature special events for children and draw a “more subdued” crowd.

The horse industry’s impressive impact on Virginia’s economy was detailed in a UVA study funded by the Virginia Horse Industry Board. The study found horse-related goods and services such as feed, tack, and riding

lessons bring in annual revenues in excess of $1.2 billion and provide over 16,000 jobs, generating in excess of $65.3 million in state and local taxes.

Horses and their owners also impact the local real estate market with a continuing demand for the specialized rural properties that can accommodate these popular animals.

Horse Properties Popular If the local horse-specialist REALTORS® have a complaint, it is that there is not nearly enough inventory to satisfy the buyers who want to locate here.

Donna Patton with Keller Williams Realty explained, “there is not a lot of inventory at the lower end of the market.” She added that if a property is in “good condition” it gets “snatched up quickly.”

“There is lots of activity, and there are lots of people out looking,” said Pam Dent with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc. “The market has definitely improved,” she added, “and that is a good thing.” She urges potential sellers of a horse property to contact their REALTOR® about getting it on the market. “I would love to see more inventory,” she said.

Horse owners are different from those looking for a more convention-

al home, Dent explained. Often they want “just the right property,” with all the “equestrian amenities.” She recently listed a horse property that went under contract in just 11 days due to it being “totally turnkey,” ready for horses to move in and live in comfort.

There is also demand for more “disciplined” facilities, noted Gerri Russell with Roy Wheeler Realty Co. A property that works for a weekend trail rider may not appeal to someone who competes in events like dressage and has very different requirements, she added.

For horse people, making a purchase is less urgent than it would be for a more typical buyer moving here for a job or moving up to accommodate a growing family. In most cases they can take their time and keep looking until the right property comes on the market.

Central Virginia a Magnet for Horse Owners Our area draws horse people for many reasons starting with the relatively mild climate and beautiful scenery.

UVA grads and others with an allegiance to local sports teams often find their way back here attracted by the rolling hills, the medical care and the social and cultural amenities that together put our area on so many lists of top places to live, work and play.

Still others are just getting into horses, Patton said. These are people who have always wanted to own a horse, and now they can afford one along with the property required to keep it in style. Of course, like other local buyers, horse owners will pay more for property that is closer to town.

Some equine enthusiasts are hobbyists who have an interest in hunting or showing, and want acreage sufficient to keep a few horses and also let their dogs run free. This is a new experience and they want to take advantage of it while they are still young enough to en-

While many horse buyers are retirees or pre-retirees, they may discover they have much younger neighbors. Russell had some first time buyer clients who wanted enough property to enjoy their horses at home.

Not just any country location will do for horse owners. Given the complexity of their needs, and the wide variation in requirements, it is essential for them to work closely with an agent who understands their situation, and is familiar with the different disciplines such as dressage, racing or fox hunting.

Of particular importance is that the agents realize when horse owners move, it’s like “bringing a whole village,” Patton explained. These folks have furniture and other personal possessions for human use, but just as important—and perhaps more so—they are moving horses and all of their specialized equipment.

When they find the right property, these buyers can’t (for example) live in a temporary rental while a previous owner takes their time moving out. Buyers and their horses have to be able to move in all at once and without delay.

In addition, agents who understand

horse buyers know that “a serious horse person” has different priorities from other buyers. They will first want to be sure the land works for their animals, Dent said. Otherwise looking at the house is a waste of time.

Common concerns include the quality of the pasture and whether or not there is enough of it for their horses’ needs. If the pasture is insufficient, horses can “wear it out,” French said, which means they eat all the grass and leave a lot of mud behind.

Buyers also scrutinize “the topography of the land,” she explained, adding that rolling— but not steep—hills with flat, open areas with lots of grass are essential.

The barn is also of prime importance. A fox hunter may be happy with a run-in shed, Dent said. Show horses, on the other hand, stay in more and need a nice barn. Their owners also prefer smaller paddocks because the animals don’t go out in big groups where they may be injured. A ring with good footing would also be considered a plus, Dent added.

Location is an important consideration as well. Fox hunters want to be near hunt country while trail riders look for access to nearby trails and/ or farms that allow others to ride through, Dent said.

Fully restored under the direction of the Virginia Department of Historic Preservation.

Monticola is on the National and State Historic Register.

Another priority is fencing. “Horses are very delicate,” French said, and barbed wire is not usually a good choice, although “high strung Thoroughbreds” are more likely to get in trouble than draft horses.

Similarly, trail riders will look for different fencing than do those who participate in other types of events.

“It’s a very specialized field,” Patton said.

Like most horse-specialist REALTORS® Patton is a horse owner and explained that her buyers very often express the desire to see their animals from the house. “It’s very relaxing to watch them graze, very peaceful,” she added.

Good water is critical and also high on the list of desirable features. Automatic waterers that work year round are popular, Russell said. These are a great asset and something any buyer would prefer when evaluating a property.

The local Foxfield Races is one of many horse-related events that together bring in an excess of $25 million in annual revenue to Virginia’s economy.

The bi-annual happening is one of the Commonwealth’s biggest and always scheduled for the last Saturday in April and the last Sunday in September.

The first race was held in 1977. Dent was there and helped paint the fence in time for the race to begin, as was Foxfield’s Race Director, Patrick Butterfield, who added, “We all did everything we could to help.”

Foxfield is “a great family activity,” Patton said. Attendees get to interact with friends and family while they enjoy the fun. It’s definitely an event that “people plan around.”

A steeplechase course, Foxfield is part of a national circuit. Attendees love to watch horses running as well as “jumping in a more natural setting,” which is very different from seeing them on a race track, Patton noted.

Steeplechase racing originated in Ireland in 1752 when, according to legend, two friends settled a bet on who had the best horse by racing to and through a nearby church where a funeral was in progress. The sport spread to England and then the United States.

“It’s a great way to spend an afternoon,” Butterfield explained. It brings people to Charlottesville from all areas like UVA alums who enjoyed attending when they were in school.

Tailgating is a big part of the excitement, Patton said, and some tailgaters even compete in judged contests of who has the best-looking spread.

This year’s spring race is on Saturday, April 28. The fall race, featuring activities for families and children (such as pony rides and games), takes place on Sunday, September 30.

COMMUNITY

A Charlotte s Traditionville

I

BY KEN WILS

t’s free, it’s family-friendly and, lucky for us, it’s happening again.

For 30 years now it’s been our favorite way to let the good times roll— and rock and rumble, moan and purr, shake and shimmy, and however else the spirit moves. Thank God it’s Fridays After Five, with live music and concessions benefitting local charities once every seven days from now till mid-September at Charlottesville’s Sprint Pavilion. Meet up on the Downtown Mall.

Fridays After Five started outside the Omni Hotel in 1988, moved to the grassy bowl at the other end of the Mall sometime in the 90s (memories are hazy) and took up residence at the Pavilion when it opened in 2005.

Corey Harris, the Dave Matthews Band, and the Sons of Bill have played it, and so has every other local and regional act gunning for the big time or just soaking up the local love. Funk or rock, alt-country or disco, oldies or the

ON

hot and hyphenated next big thing, Fridays After Five is where the hometown crowd hears the homegrown sounds.

What Sprint Pavilion General Manager Kirby Hutto calls “a celebration of summertime in Charlottesville” draws a crowd—an average of 5,000 to 6,000 in good weather. Local non-profits help put on the show and reap the rewards. “It’s a really good fundraiser,” Hutto says. “They don’t have to do any of the organizing, they don’t have to do any of the cleaning up—they just come down, we slot them in, and our paid staff takes care of getting everything set up and breaking it down at the end of the night.”

Remuneration is based on the number of volunteer hours a group provides, “so that even if they come down and it’s a colder night and the crowds aren’t there, they’re still going to get paid for the work they’re putting in.”

The 31st season of Charlottesville’s favorite way to kick off the weekend continues through September 14 at the Sprint Pavilion, with music beginning at 5:30 p.m. and running till 8:30 p.m.

Singer-songwriter Adar Seligman-McComas and her five-piece band Adar, with Nick Berkin on keyboards, Andrew Hollifield on bass, Brandon Toliver on drums, and Aaron Spring on saxophone, bring soul, funk, jazz and rock to the Pavilion on April 27. Shagwüf opens.

Inspired by the Djembe and Djun Djun drums of West Africa, Richmond reggae artist Mighty Joshua wants to open minds and activate bodies, creating positive change with consciousness-raising lyrics. Mighty Joshua was named Virginia Reggae Artist of the Year in 2014 and 2015. He plays on May 4. Footwerk opens.

Virginia (and West Virginia) native Sarah White doesn’t play country, rock, or folk, but what she does play, whether solo or with her band, sounds a lot like all three. Once named Charlottesville’s best songwriter, she recently took first place at the Ashland Coffee & Tea Songwriter Shootout. White sings at the Pavilion backed by pedal steel, keyboards, guitars and her own well-worn Jumbo Gibson acoustic on May 11. Small Town Rodeo opens.

Some of Charlottesville’s best vocalists and instrumentalists join together on May 18 to pay tribute to Minneapolis’ finest, the late great singer-songwriter, producer, actor, and style setter Prince.

Cville’s Purple All Stars, will feature Jamal Millner (Guitar/Conductor), Anita Byers, Davina Jackson and Ezra Hamilton (Vocals), Ivan Orr (Keyboards), Jeff Louderback (Drums), Chris Redd (Keyboards) and Vic Brown (Bass/Vocals).

They will play two sets: first the entire Purple Rain album, and then more greatest hits. Supervixen opens.

Red & the Romantics love roots music and Americana: blues, gospel, gypsy jazz, rock ‘n roll and whatever is in between. Erik “Red” Knierim writes the songs. On stage he has help from Steve Riggs on upright bass, Steve Vargo on guitar, Betty Jo Dominick on accordion, and Dan Barrale and Seth Johnston on drums and percussion.

Red & the Romantics have been making Charlottesville dance since 2011.

They’ll do it again on May 25. Sweet Afton opens.

Blend rhythm and blues, funk and old school hip-hop and you get a Washington, D.C-based sound called

go-go music. Veterans from Charlottesville’s own go-go pioneers Double Faces (Blacko, Larry, and J.R) recruited guys from the rap/reggae group Vibe Riot to form Seductive Sounds. They’ll get everyone on their feet on June 1. DJ Rush Hour opens.

Combine the sophistication of Steely Dan, the soul of Little Feat and the improvisatory daring of Grateful Dead and you get Indecision, a band that’s been jamming longer than First Fridays has been happening. Aaron Evans (guitar and vocals), David Ibbeken (guitar and vocals), Craig Dougald (drums and vocals), Shawn McCrystal (bass) got together in high school in 1980 and played their first nightclub gig four years later at the Mineshaft Cellar on Main Street in Charlottesville.

Expect both original and cover songs.

Charleston’s The Blue Dogs opens.

Take five guys who love blues, funk, gospel, rock and jazz and you get a band that might hail from Memphis or New Orleans. When those five guys are Aric van Brocklin on guitar, Skip Haga on keyboards, Granville Mullings on drums, Andy Rowland on sax, and Victor Brown on bass, you have The Chickenheads, Charlottesville’s “premiere” boogie-woogie, upbeat, rhythm and blues dance band. They promise to get everyone up and dancing on June 15. The Charles Owens Quartet opens.

Just a few years back, the brothers Kai and Bram Crowe-Getty were hanging out and trading Americana tunes with friends in the Nelson County countryside. Nowadays they’re cruising up and down the East Coast and into the deep South in a 2007 Ford Econoline van with Lord Nelson, a five-piece “Dirty Funk n Roll” band featuring “greasy trombone, backbone bass and dirty south guitar.” They play the Pavilion on June 22. The Can-Do Attitude opens.

They call themselves Disco Risqué, but this high energy band with guitars, bass, drums, horns and vocals pumps out everything from rock and hardcore to funk and hip-hop and propulsive pop. They will bring their “controlled chaos” to Fridays After Five on June 29.

The Tyler Dick Band opens.

Fridays After Five continues through September 14; the second half of the season has yet to be announced.

“Fair Housing

still needs

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

It’s not just a black and white issue.

” attention.

Pat Combs entered the real estate business

a few years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968. She recalled it being a “contentious time” for both REALTORS® and the public. Armed with fair housing training from the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of REALTORS®, Pat faced off against discriminatory neighbors and homeowners. Ignoring verbal harassment and physical threats, she devoted her time in the Grand Rapids Association of REALTORS® to help in creating better training programs in partnership with her local Fair Housing Center to ensure that fair housing truly was for all. Now, Pat says, “We need to ask ourselves “what we can do as REALTORS®, as United States citizens.”

April 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. We salute REALTORS® like Pat Combs who have driven NAR’s contributions to the fair housing movement, and we understand there’s progress yet to be made.

Visit www.FairHousing.realtor to read more about Pat and to join the commemoration.
