South Holland pursues curb on real estate mailings
South Holland officials vow to enforce a sub ten year old non solicitations ordinance aimed at stopping real estate mailings tied to perceived neighborhood racial shifts. At a board meeting residents cited a Richton Park Re Max mailing and requested guidance as officials said warnings precede fines up to five hundred dollars per offense. The village distributes non solicitation cards to all Realtors and authorities said they will investigate violations and follow through.
