Welcome to Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio! I'm Cleve Gaddis, and today we're diving into a crucial topic that every homebuyer should be aware of: real estate steering. Whether you're a first-time buyer or seasoned investor in the Atlanta real estate market, understanding steering is essential to making informed decisions and protecting your rights as a consumer.
So, what exactly is steering? In the realm of real estate, steering refers to the practice of guiding or directing homebuyers towards or away from certain neighborhoods or properties based on protected characteristics such as race, ethnicity, religion, or familial status. While it's illegal under the Fair Housing Act and other fair housing laws, steering can still occur in subtle ways that may not be immediately apparent to buyers.
In this video, we'll explore the different forms of steering and how they can impact your homebuying experience. From verbal recommendations to biased marketing materials, agents or brokers may inadvertently or intentionally steer clients towards or away from specific neighborhoods or properties. This practice not only limits your housing options but also perpetuates housing segregation and discrimination within communities.
As a trusted voice in the Atlanta real estate market, Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio is committed to empowering buyers with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate these complex issues. We'll discuss real-life examples of steering and its implications, providing practical tips on how to recognize and address this issue if you encounter it during your homebuying journey.
Furthermore, we'll explore the legal protections in place to safeguard buyers from discriminatory practices. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing transactions based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability. It's essential for buyers to know their rights and responsibilities under these laws to ensure a fair and equitable homebuying process.
Throughout the video, we'll also highlight the importance of choosing a reputable and ethical real estate agent or broker who prioritizes fair housing practices. By working with professionals who uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency, you can mitigate the risk of encountering steering and focus on finding the home that best meets your needs and preferences.
