If a real estate agent does ANYTHING to "steer" a minority buyer away from a house, he/she is automatically presumed to be a racist and faces severe penalties.
It is a no-win situation.

Yes it is and another reason why they don’t need to care. So like others, they’re in it for the money!
I know some people that are ok with this. They made mistakes and bought homes they couldn’t afford and all the stuff that goes with them. They became slaves to the house, working two or three jobs to make the payments and finally said , no more. They don’t want the houses. They have found something more reasonable and will suffer thru re-building their credit.
Yet, for those buyers and sellers who care about race, the realtors have developed a code for transmitting that federally forbidden information which leaves them in the clear.
