According to the National Association of REALTORS®, real estate professionals aren’t allowed to violate fair housing laws by giving their opinions about the quality of schools or steering their clients toward or away from certain schools. This has enhanced significance in lieu of recent battles over classroom curriculum, book bans, charter schools, the loss of qualified teachers, county school consolidations, and more. Real estate practitioners may have children in school themselves, but they have chosen that school for a reason, perhaps their child’s preferences and abilities. They can introduce you to homes to buy or rent, which is their expertise, but they’re not able to help you pick out a school or recommend an educational environment for your child.
