Introduction

The sale and purchase of a home is one of the most significant events that any person will experience in his or her lifetime.  It is more that the simple purchase of housing, for it includes the hopes, dreams, aspirations, and economic destiny of those involved.

The National Association of REALTORS® has developed a Fair Housing Program to provide resources and guidance to REALTORS® in ensuring equal professional services for all people.  The term REALTOR® identifies a licensed professional in real estate who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®.  Not all licensed real estate brokers and salespersons are members of the National Association, and only those who are may identify themselves as REALTORS®.  They conduct their business and activities in accordance with a strict Code of Ethics.
