Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
Fair Housing is a major element of the Arkansas REALTORS® Association’s Public Policy. Members of our Association are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the State of Arkansas and the Nation. We subscribe to the philosophy of inclusion in rendering services to clients, customers and the communities at large and welcome the opportunity to serve the needs of our communities and all individuals and families without regard to Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Handicap, Familial Status or National Origin.
It is our firm belief that compliance is best achieved through quality education. Laws do not change attitudes. People do. Therefore the solution to housing discrimination is changing personal values and attitudes.
The following are resources we would like to share with you.
