We are committed to providing a marketplace where all users can search for, buy, sell, or rent homes free from discrimination. Our platform, our agents, and our team are held to the highest standards of fair housing compliance.

The Fair Housing Act

The Fair Housing Act, enacted in 1968 and amended in 1988, prohibits discrimination in housing based on:

Race
Color
Religion
Sex
National Origin
Familial Status
Disability

These protections apply to the sale, rental, and financing of housing, as well as advertising and the provision of real estate brokerage services. Many state and local laws provide additional protections based on characteristics such as sexual orientation, gender identity, source of income, marital status, age, and veteran status.
