Fair Housing Commitment
Equal Housing Opportunity
Honest Acres Group and Access Realty are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
The law
The federal Fair Housing Act and the Texas Fair Housing Act (Texas Property Code, Chapter 301) prohibit discrimination in the sale or rental of housing, and in related services, because of:
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- Sex
- Disability (handicap)
- Familial status
- National origin
Texas Real Estate Commission rules (§531.19) likewise prohibit license holders from making or facilitating inquiries or disclosures that indicate any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, familial status, or disability.
What that means in our marketing
We describe property — its land, water, soils, improvements, and location — not the people who might buy it. Our listings, guides, blog posts, and videos do not use language that states or implies a preference for or against any protected class, and we do not steer buyers toward or away from any area based on the people who live there. Everyone who contacts us receives the same honest service.
As a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, James also subscribes to its Code of Ethics, including Article 10's fair housing obligations.
If you believe your rights have been violated
You may file a fair housing complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) — see hud.gov — or with the Texas Workforce Commission's Civil Rights Division, which enforces the Texas Fair Housing Act. You may also raise any concern directly with our broker, Cassidy Spilker, Access Realty, at the address in this site's footer.
