What This Means in Practice

The federal Fair Housing Act and the Arizona Fair Housing Act prohibit discrimination in the sale, rental and financing of housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status and disability. Federal guidance also applies those sex-based protections to sexual orientation and gender identity. Those are the rules. Beyond the rules, it is simply how this brokerage operates.

• I will not steer you toward or away from any neighborhood based on who lives there. If you ask me what an area is like, I will answer with facts you can verify, such as price points, build eras, school attendance boundaries and commute times, and I will point you to the public sources for anything else.
• Every buyer sees the same homes on the same terms, and every offer on a listing I hold is presented to the seller.
• Advertising and listing copy describe the property, never a preferred type of occupant.
• Service animals are not pets, and requests involving them are handled accordingly.

Requesting a Reasonable Accommodation

If you need an adjustment to how we work together in order to participate fully, please ask. That might mean documents in a different format, a different way of communicating, extra time at a showing, meeting somewhere accessible, or bringing someone with you. You do not need to explain a diagnosis to make the request, and asking will never change the service you receive.

If you believe you have experienced housing discrimination, whether involving this brokerage or not, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or with the Arizona Attorney General Civil Rights Division. I will provide any information I hold that helps.

If you have a question about accessibility or accommodation during a transaction with us, please get in touch directly. Our buyer and seller guidance applies equally to every client.
