CIVITIC | VAR SUDEN REALTORS® support Fair Housing and ascribe to the National Association of Realtors Code for Equal Opportunity in Housing. Discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, marital status, presence or age of children, national origin or physical disability is against Federal, State and Local laws.
Many villages and municipalities also have their own Fair Housing Ordinances. For instance, the Village of Wilmette requires us to notify you that "Wilmette prohibits discrimination in real estate transactions based on race, color, age, religion, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status, source of income, or housing status."
