FAIR HOUSING

As a member of the National Association of Realtors I subscribe to the Code of Ethics of that Association. Article 10 embraces the issue of fair housing and encompasses the requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and more. I strive to treat all people fairly and the same. This is the standard I adhere to.
