Agency
A Minnesota buyer tells their agent that they want to purchase a home near a specific school district because of their children's special needs. The agent must:
AWarn the buyer about the Fair Housing Act implications of their choice
BProvide information about all available homes and the requested school district✓ Correct
CRefuse to help since school district restrictions may violate fair housing
DReport the buyer to HUD for attempting to discriminate
Explanation
A buyer's preference for a specific school district is a legitimate, legal housing search criterion. Agents may help buyers identify homes in desired school districts. The Fair Housing Act prohibits agents from steering (directing buyers based on protected class), but assisting buyers with their own stated preferences for schools, commute, or amenities is legal and expected.
