The Daytona Beach Area Association of REALTORS firmly supports the principle of fair housing for all. REALTORS in the Daytona
Beach area must be fully committed to complying with the fair housing laws because there is no room in our
profession for housing discrimination.
The federal fair housing law prohibits
discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, familial status
and handicap. Many local real estate brokers and sales associates are taking proactive steps to guard
against housing discrimination. More and more are realizing they cannot remain
"neutral" in situations involving any party who attempts to discriminate.
Our organization supports programs to educate the public about the right to equal housing
opportunities, and to educate the real estate industry about fair housing
responsibilities. The best way to avoid potentially discriminatory situations is to be
fully educated about the law's requirements. Awareness is the key.
