Explanation
Steering violates the Fair Housing Act and Nevada law. It includes directing minority buyers only to minority neighborhoods, discouraging buyers from certain areas based on racial composition, or showing different properties to buyers based on their protected class. Nevada real estate licensees face serious disciplinary consequences for steering, including license revocation and federal fair housing penalties. Agents must show buyers all properties meeting their stated criteria.
