Fair HousingIntermediateAlaska Exam

In Alaska, a real estate agent representing a buyer must not:

AShow properties in all price ranges the buyer can afford
BWithhold any listing from the buyer based on the racial composition of the neighborhoodCorrect
CAsk buyers for pre-approval letters before showing homes
DShow properties in neighborhoods the buyer specifically requests, under standard practice

Why Withhold any listing from the buyer based on the racial composition of the neighborhood Is Correct

Answer B: Withhold any listing from the buyer based on the racial composition of the neighborhood

An agent may not withhold listings from buyers based on the racial, ethnic, or other protected class composition of the neighborhood. Steering by omission — failing to show certain listings because of neighborhood demographics — is just as illegal as affirmative steering.

Exam Tip: Fair Housing

Fair Housing questions test both federal (Fair Housing Act of 1968) and state-level protected classes. The federal protected classes are race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability. Many states add additional protections.
