So
If your real estate agent is steering you to neighborhoods where the
f3eopie are all like you, that’s discrimination. You have the right to
consider homes in all kinds of neighborhoods. You can fight back.
If you suspect unfair housing practices, contact HUD or your local
Fair Housing Center. Everyone deserves a fair chance.
