Fair Housing
An Oklahoma seller is in a divorce and wants to sell quickly. Their agent suggests pricing the home at a discount. A neighboring property owner complains this will hurt neighborhood values. From a fair housing perspective:
AThe complaining neighbor has valid grounds to prevent the sale
BNeither the divorcing seller's motivation nor their neighbor's preferences involve fair housing protected classes; the agent may assist the seller in pricing and marketing the home✓ Correct
CThe agent must disclose the divorce to all buyers
DOREC must approve distressed sales
Explanation
Fair housing protections apply to discrimination based on protected characteristics, not to pricing decisions motivated by personal circumstances like divorce. A seller has the right to price their home as they choose, and neighbors cannot invoke fair housing law to prevent a below-market sale.
