Under the provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act, if a seller does NOT want to sell a property to persons of a particular race, the listing salesperson should:

This choice is incorrect because the Federal Fair Housing Act applies to all residential properties, including one-to-four-family dwellings. Listing a property with discriminatory intent, regardless of its classification, violates fair housing laws, making this option unlawful.

While it may seem prudent to inform the broker, this choice fails to address the discriminatory nature of the seller's request. Simply notifying the broker does not resolve the ethical and legal obligations the salesperson has to reject any form of discrimination, reflecting an inadequate response to the situation.

This option is misleading, as accepting such instructions would involve complying with discriminatory practices, which is illegal. A fiduciary duty does not extend to unethical or unlawful actions, and following a client's discriminatory request would violate the salesperson's responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act.
