Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity
We serve every client equally. This page sets out what that means in practice, the notices Texas requires us to give you, and how to raise a concern if we or anyone else falls short.
Gebora Realty Team supports the Fair Housing Act and the Texas Fair Housing Act in letter and in spirit. We do not decide where you should live — we give you the data and answer your questions honestly.
The law we work under
The federal Fair Housing Act and the Texas Fair Housing Act make it illegal to discriminate in the sale, rental, financing or advertising of housing on the basis of protected characteristics.
- Race or colour
- National origin
- Religion
- Sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity
- Familial status — having children under 18, being pregnant, or securing custody
- Disability
What this means in practice
Fair housing is not a disclaimer at the bottom of a page. It changes how we answer questions, which is where the risk actually sits in this business.
- We show you every home that fits your stated criteria and budget, and we do not filter that list by any protected characteristic.
- We do not describe a neighbourhood as good or bad, safe or unsafe, or right or wrong for you. Those words carry assumptions that the law does not allow us to apply on your behalf.
- We answer questions about schools, taxes, MUD and PID rates, commute times, build-out stage, HOA rules and resale depth with real data, and we point you at the district’s or the county’s own source so you can check it yourself.
- For questions about the character of an area — demographics, crime, who lives there — we will direct you to public sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau and local law enforcement rather than characterise it ourselves. That is not evasion; steering is illegal and it is also bad advice.
- We use the same process, the same paperwork and the same effort for every client, at every price point.
Accommodations and accessibility
If a disability makes any part of working with us harder — touring a home, reading a document, using this website — tell us and we will make a reasonable accommodation. There is no cost and no explanation required beyond what we need to help.
Buyers with disabilities have the right to request reasonable modifications to a property and reasonable accommodations from housing providers and HOAs. We can help you make that request in writing.
We are working toward WCAG 2.1 AA on this website. If something here is unusable with a screen reader, keyboard or magnifier, email kaci@geborarealtyteam.com and we will fix it and give you the information another way in the meantime.
Advertising and the language we use
Fair housing applies to marketing as much as to showings. Our listing copy describes the property, not the kind of person we imagine buying it.
If you ever see wording from us that reads as a preference for or against a protected group, tell us. We will correct it.
How to raise a concern
Tell us first if you are comfortable doing so — but you never have to go through us, and every route below is free and does not need a lawyer.
HUD — file a housing discrimination complaint — Federal. Generally filed within one year of the incident.
Texas Workforce Commission, Civil Rights Division — State. Enforces the Texas Fair Housing Act.
TREC — complain about a licensee — Licensing. Covers the conduct of anyone on this team.
Tell us if we get it wrong
We would rather hear it directly and fix it than have you walk away. Email or call — a person will answer.
