April is Fair Housing Month!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

As a Coldwell Banker Realtor, I believe that home is more than just a place, it’s where life happens, memories are made, and communities are built.

That’s why I’m deeply committed to upholding the principles of Fair Housing every day, not just in April.

Everyone deserves equal access to housing, free from discrimination. It’s about respect, opportunity, and the belief that every individual has the right to find a place they can truly call home.

Let’s continue working together to build stronger, more inclusive communities—where fairness, equity, and opportunity are at the heart of everything we do.

“The ache for home lives in all of us.” — Maya Angelou

Hi Dorie... nice post on why Fair Housing is so important. I do like to think that we've made great strides since 1968.

Good morning Dorie. As one who saw firsthand those who took advantage of money making schemes like blockbusting, Fair Housing has always been an important aspect of mu business. Nina Hollander, Broker is correct about the progress that has been made in this arena. Enjoy your day.

I think (in large part) discrimination has gone away. I am not sure of anyone who cares what the neighbors ancestry is...only that they are good neighbors!

What a well stated post Dorie Dillard Austin TX . I have not seen discriminatory practices here in Minot with to possible exception of housing for senior living only.

I was watching an interesting webinar yesterday by Bill Dedham and our State Association, Testing the Divide, there is a YouTube movie about it as well of the investigation into Long Island Realtors showing discrimination. He also has a website www.powerreporting.com. We all need to work hard to give everyone an equal opportunity to buy a home where they want to live.

If April is Fair Housing month, then that is the month that I should try to take my Fair Housing class each and every year, haha.

Fair housing rules level the buying pool in real estate and that's where we come in, Dorie. We do offer value to potential/present clients!
