NAR Responds to Demand Letters Sent to Realtors®

For weeks, our industry has been aggressively working to address the demand letters being sent by the Portell Law Group to Realtors® mostly in Florida, but also outside of Florida, alleging that their websites violate the Fair Housing Act.

We have been in close communication with Florida Realtors® about this issue and fundamentally disagree with the premise of these allegations and recognized the need to fight them as an industry.

Florida Realtors® immediately escalated this issue to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) and worked with NAR to respond to these allegations. The result is the response below formally questioning these claims.

If you have questions about the demand letters or the Fair Housing Act, please contact the Florida Realtors® Legal Hotline at 407-438-1409. Thank you.
