Ever wondered why some questions make us real estate agents give a mysterious smile? 🤫 Dive into the unspoken rules and the answers we can’t share!
Questions that are off-limits:
✔️ Is this a safe neighborhood?
✔️ How are the schools here?
✔️ What type of people live here?
✔️ What’s the crime rate here?
✔️ Is this a good area to raise a family?
Agents have to navigate Fair Housing Laws, which means we can’t discuss anything that could be seen as steering or discriminating. 🏡
So why the hush-hush? It’s all about fairness. Discrimination based on race, color, religion, s*x, national origin, age, familial and marital status, or disability is a big no-no in real estate.
TIP: when searching for a new neighborhood you can go on out search engines and research these topics for your area. Start with city and county websites.
