Equal Housing Opportunity

Curt Simmons is a licensed real estate broker in Washington (License 51380) with Keller Williams North Sound, serving all of Snohomish County. He and his brokerage do not discriminate, and never solicit any buyer's protected class.

The Standard Statement

Everyone has the right to rent or buy a home without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), familial status, disability, or national origin, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.

What the Fair Housing Act prohibits

Under the Fair Housing Act, no one may take any of the following actions based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin:

  • Refuse to rent or sell housing, or refuse to negotiate for housing.
  • Make housing unavailable, or set different terms, conditions, or privileges for the sale or rental of a dwelling.
  • Provide different housing services or facilities, or falsely deny that housing is available for inspection, sale, or rental.
  • Persuade owners to sell or rent (blockbusting), or deny anyone access to or membership in a facility or service, such as a multiple listing service, related to the sale or rental of housing.

What housing providers must do

The Fair Housing Act also requires lenders, real estate agents, and others in the housing business to provide these services without discrimination, to make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, and to allow reasonable modifications to dwellings and common use areas for individuals with disabilities.

The HUD pledge

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
