Crump, who has represented the families in multiple high-profile cases such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and George Floyd, received a wave of ridicule for his tweet. The Houston Association of Realtors stopped using the term last June as the George Floyd unrest continued across the country. The Real Estate Board of New York has also committed to reviewing whether the term should be removed from its residential listings, the Tribune reported Monday. There have been no updated guidelines by industry groups regarding the term in Minnesota, but real estate agencies are taking it upon themselves to make the change, the Tribune reported."It's something that has come up more and more the past few months," Jackie Berry, a listing agent for Edina Realty, told the outlet. "There's been an increased awareness and wokeness since George Floyd's murder. We're seeing racial justice work being put into play.""I'm a person of color and every time the term 'master bedroom' was used, I kept saying to myself, 'I don't like how it sounds,'" she said. "Now as I'm walking through a property, I'll just say it's the owners' or primary suite."
