In NYC, fair housing protections go beyond federal law and continue to expand based on local legislation.

New York State adds protections for age, marital status, source of income, and gender identity.

New York City goes further, including protections for lawful occupation, partnership status, and even height and weight.

In short, you cannot make housing decisions based on personal characteristics. But, you can and should evaluate all applicants using the same financial criteria.

“What did they say when they referred me to you?”

As Scott Harris points out, that answer tells you a lot about your real value. The reasoning is rarely just negotiation or market knowledge.

More often, it’s about how you communicate, how you show up, and how you make people feel. When you start hearing the same things over and over, take note.

A question agents hear all the time: “Who lives in the building?”

Even if it feels harmless, discussing the people or demographics can violate Fair Housing laws.

Written communication can create liability.

Michael J. Romer, Esq. explains why agents and attorneys must slow down before responding to clients or even to each other.

Licensees are held to a higher standard, and what you put in writing often matters more than what you say. One careless message can trigger an investigation, delay a deal, or put your license at risk.

Strong advertising is about specifics.

Marissa Ghesquiere encourages agents to skip phrases like “the best” and instead highlight what buyers actually value: quality materials, notable architects or designers, building features, and a sought-after location.
