Practice Of Real EstateFair_housingMEDIUM

A Georgia real estate licensee's client instructs the licensee to market a property only to buyers of a specific race. Which of the following actions is the licensee NOT legally required to take in response?

Correct Answer

B) File an immediate report of the client's request with the Georgia Real Estate Commission

There is no specific legal requirement under the federal Fair Housing Act or Georgia license law that mandates a licensee immediately report a client's discriminatory request to GREC. While licensees must refuse to participate in discriminatory conduct and should inform clients that such instructions violate the law, the obligation is to not carry out the discrimination — not to file an immediate regulatory complaint about the client's request.

Answer Options
A
Refuse to carry out the discriminatory marketing instructions
B
File an immediate report of the client's request with the Georgia Real Estate Commission
C
Continue to comply with all applicable fair housing laws despite the client's preferences
D
Inform the client that the requested action would violate fair housing law
