In America people should always be treated fairly when buying or renting a dwelling regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin. In practical terms, this means you should be able to buy or rent wherever you want to live as long as you can afford to live there. Simply stated, it is the Law of the Land! Lenders can provide invaluable assistance to prospective homebuyers via prequalification and/or preapproval that can clearly establish you as a qualified buyer and let you be confident in just how much you can afford to spend. That said, your Realtor is then your source of reliable information tools that can help you discover answers to any questions you may have about neighborhoods, demographics, safety and schools. At Olson Real Estate, we are committed to the highest standard of conduct in our business serving each customer!
