Houston First Time Home Buyers And Fair Housing Laws

Image by Diana W

Hello and welcome! Did you know that Fair housing laws prohibit real estate agents from steering their clients to or from a particular area, based on their client’s race, color, religion, gender, disability, familial status or national origin?

To stay within the guidelines of this law, a great agent will avoid giving opinions on schools districts as well, since any comment on the subject may be construed as influencing their clients’ housing choice. As a REALTOR, we cannot tell you what to do.

What we can do is help you make the most informed decision possible. In the process, you should stay alert to make sure the agent you are working with is looking out for your best interest. Not theirs.

We at First Home Houston is always looking out for your best interest. As always, we thank you for stopping by. Until next time… Diana.
