[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you even find out the racial makeup? When I view houses I see 2 Neighbors. I do check the racial makeup of the elementary school. I've avoided a school area where my minority kid would be only one of two in her class. The area was 90% white. [/quote]

ask your realtor[/quote]

Is this a joke? Realtors are forbidden by fair housing laws from steering anyone into certain neighborhoods based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin, handicap or familial status, or even discussing the racial or religious makeup of any school or neighborhood.[/quote]

Really? I've had realtors tell me all about which minorities lived in which neighborhoods. [/quote]

Yes, really.

[i]Q: Can a real estate agent answer questions about the characteristics of a neighborhood if the questions concern one of the protected categories?

A: No.[/i]
