Home FAQs What about Fair Housing? Discriminatory Phrases

Discriminatory Phrases

At USA4SALE, 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.

We ask simply that you describe the property, not the person who will live there.

To assist you, here is a sample list of phrases that should never be used when advertising your real estate property for sale or rent. It is not intended as a complete list of every word or phrase that could violate any local, state, or federal statutes.
