Is this the beginning of the end for love letters?

coming to California soon?

Oregon has joined the fray. House Bill 2550 directs the seller?s agent to reject communication from the buyer, such as a personalized letter. That?s because, according to Representative Mark Meek, who is also a real estate agent, ?personal letters could lead to selection based on race, sex or religion.?

The California Association of Realtors also discourages buyer agents having their clients write letter and sending them to listing agents.  I can tell you from personal experience that personalized letter got a home for 5 of my buyers, including several beating out cash buyers and slightly higher offers.
 
But will the CAR oppose a law banning the love letters?

Hard to imagine that Sac won't follow Oregon's lead.
 
But if the owner really wants, he can choose to meet the buyers in person? This is not that easily enforceable.
