Question of the Day

A minority couple asks a broker to show them a listed house. What is the broker guilty of if the broker suggests that they look at houses in areas with larger minority populations than that of the listed house?

Explanation

Steering is a form of racial discrimination in which brokers or salespeople direct interested purchasers away from and toward certain neighborhoods to control racial composition. If an agent only shows minority buyers houses that are located in segregated areas, the agent would be guilty of Steering. An Agent should select the houses that he would show to a minority the same way that he would select houses for any other prospective buyer.
