Did you know that it is against the law for real estate agents to direct buyers to purchase homes in areas that are comprised of certain races but not others? This type of activity is illegal, and it violates the Fair Housing Act. The government recently brought a suit against a Chicago real estate firm that was engaging in similar practices. In the lawsuit, it alleged that one of the real estate company’s former agents had directed a Hispanic individual to buy in predominantly Hispanic or African American areas. A white individual was directed to buy mostly in white areas. The case was settled when the real estate company agreed to pay $120,000.
