April is Fair Housing Month

EHO logo

Since April is Fair Housing Month, we are again taking a practical, proactive look at Fair Housing. Equal opportunity in housing is still not a reality for all people. As REALTORS®, we are committed to a housing market free of discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin.

The following REALTOR® Fair Housing Declaration should be a part of the Policy & Procedure Manuals of all companies.

REALTOR® FAIR HOUSING DECLARATION

I agree to:

  • Provide equal professional service without regard to the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of any prospective client, customer, or of the residents of any community.
  • Keep informed about fair housing law and practices, improving my clients' and customers' opportunities and my business.
  • Develop advertising that indicates that everyone is welcome and no one is excluded, expanding my clients' and customers' opportunities to see, buy, or lease property.
  • Inform my clients and customers about their rights and responsibilities under the fair housing laws by providing brochures and other information.
  • Document my efforts to provide professional service, which will assist me in becoming a more responsive and successful real estate professional.
  • Refuse to tolerate noncompliance.
  • Learn about those who are different from me, and celebrate those differences.
  • Take a positive approach to fair housing practices and aspire to follow the spirit as well as the letter of the law.
  • Develop and implement fair housing practices for my firm to carry out the spirit of this declaration.

See you next week!
