Equal Opportunity in Housing: Common Sense?

Josh Talayka | December 30, 2009

In the age we live, you would expect the in the idea of providing equal opportunity in Real Estate to all people regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, etc. would be common sense. However, on more then one occasion I have been asked by potential clients to limit the sale of their home only to certain people based on these very same attributes.

I’ve decided to put together the following summary of a few of the various laws that are directed at this very subject as well as the responsibilities that go along with them. The source of this information was obtained via a publication by the National Association of Realtors.
