Fair housing

Equal housing opportunity.

Everyone deserves a fair chance at a home. We take that seriously - in law and in practice.

Boston Realty is committed to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We support affirmative advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of protected characteristics.

Protected classes

Under the federal Fair Housing Act, it is illegal to discriminate in the sale, rental, or financing of housing on the basis of:

  • Race or color
  • National origin
  • Religion
  • Sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation)
  • Familial status (families with children under 18)
  • Disability

Massachusetts law (M.G.L. c. 151B) extends these protections to additional classes, including ancestry, age, marital status, veteran or active military status, source of income (including housing subsidies such as Section 8), and genetic information.

Our commitment

We do not discriminate, and we will not participate in discrimination, against any person in any aspect of a real estate transaction on the basis of any protected characteristic. We serve all clients with the same standard of professionalism, diligence, and respect.

Reasonable accommodations

If you need a reasonable accommodation or accessibility assistance at any point in working with us, please let us know. We want the process to be accessible to everyone.

Reporting discrimination

If you believe you have experienced housing discrimination, you have the right to file a complaint:

  • U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): file a complaint at hud.gov/fairhousing or call the HUD Housing Discrimination Hotline.
  • Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD): learn how to file at mass.gov (MCAD).
