Some realtors no longer using "master" to describe bedrooms and bathrooms
The Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) will no longer use the term "master" to describe the primary bedroom of a home on their housing listings. The term "master" has roots in slavery, and HAR says the topic of removing it from realty terminology has been debated for years.
Now, the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) platform that HAR uses for listings, will use "primary bedroom" and "primary bath," HAR said in a statement to CBS News. The association noted that some members viewed the word "master" as sexist others viewed it as racist.
"The MLS Advisory Group regularly reviews the terms and fields used in the MLS to make sure they are consistent with the current market environment," HAR's statement reads. The change of primary bedroom and primary bath were among nine requests members submitted for review, HAR said.
Other industries are also removing the word "master" from their vocabularies, as it has roots in racism
