š” 3 QUESTIONS CLIENTS ASK REALTORSĀ® ā AND HOW FAIR HOUSING LAW AFFECTS OUR ANSWERS!
As your Realtor, my job is to help you find the right home for YOU! ā¤ļø But did you know some questions require extra care to ensure we follow Fair Housing laws?
ā QUESTION 1: āCan you find me a neighborhood where people look like me?ā
ā
ANSWER: I can help you find a home based on your budget, location preferences, lifestyle, and desired property features. However, I cannot steer you toward or away from a neighborhood based on race, color, religion, or other protected characteristics.
ā QUESTION 2: āCan you tell me which neighborhoods have the best schools and are safest?ā
ā
ANSWER: Absolutely, I can help you locate reliable, objective information about school performance and crime statistics. I will direct you to trustworthy sources so you can make an informed decision based on your family's needs.
ā QUESTION 3: āCan you find me a neighborhood where there aren't many families with children?ā
ā
ANSWER: I can search for properties that match your preferences, such as a particular home style, price range, or location. However, I cannot select or exclude neighborhoods based on residents' familial status. Fair Housing laws protect families with children, with limited legal exceptions.
⨠THE BOTTOM LINE: Fair Housing doesn't mean you can't ask questions. It means your Realtor must serve you fairly, provide objective information, and help you make your own informed choices.
š You deserve a home that fits your needs ā and equal access to housing opportunities!
