Fair Housing

A real estate agent is showing properties to a buyer who is a veteran. The agent avoids showing homes in neighborhoods with few veterans. This is:

AAcceptable because the agent is being sensitive to the buyer's preferences
BSteering if it is based on the composition of the neighborhood rather than the buyer's actual preferences✓ Correct
CRequired by federal law for veteran buyers
DPermissible if the buyer did not express a preference

Explanation

Steering based on neighborhood composition (racial, ethnic, or other characteristics) violates the Fair Housing Act regardless of intent. Agents must show properties based on buyers' stated housing needs, not assumptions about where they 'should' live.
