Fair Housing
Under NC and federal fair housing law, a seller of their primary residence using a licensed broker for marketing CANNOT lawfully:
AChoose any buyer they prefer based on offer terms
BReject an offer from a buyer whose race is different from the seller's✓ Correct
CCounter an offer at a different price
DAccept a higher offer over a lower one
Explanation
When a seller uses a real estate broker to market their property, neither the seller nor the broker can discriminate based on race or other protected classes. The 'private sale' exemption under the FHA (for sales without a broker) does not apply here.
