Question

Property owners who want to list their property tell their licensee, ""We want to sell only to a member of a minority group."" In this situation, the licensee should advise the owners that they cannot legally discriminate against non-minority group members and:

A. explain that it has to be an open listing
B. explain the consequences of violations of the Federal Fair Housing Act
C. report the owners to the local Board of REALTORS
D. remind the owners of their fiduciary responsibilities

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B. explain the consequences of violations of the Federal Fair Housing Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, the licensee should advise the owners that they cannot legally discriminate against non-minority group members and explain the consequences of violations of the Federal Fair Housing Act.

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or disability in the sale, rental, or financing of housing. It is illegal to deny housing or impose different terms or conditions based on these protected characteristics.

By advising the owners about the legal implications of their request, the licensee can help them understand their responsibilities and avoid violating the law.
