THE REALTOR FAIR HOUSING DECLARATION

For the past quarter century, the National Association of Realtors has worked closely with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development to promote equal opportunity in housing.  In 1996, the National Association of Realtors and the Department of Housing and Urban Development formed a Fair Housing Partnership to encourage the development of local solutions to fair housing concerns.  As part of the partnership, NAR and HUD created a voluntary Fair Housing Declaration for use by Realtors.

• 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 one one is excluded...expanding my client's and customer's 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 Realtor.

• Refuse to tolerate non-compliance.

• 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.
