Explanations

The Real Estate Commissioner’s policy of creating a “color-blind” industry means that real estate professionals should:

• Maintain an attitude free from bias: Agents must treat all parties equally and without discrimination, regardless of their skin color or appearance.
• Consider race, creed, or color as not a material fact: These characteristics should not influence real estate transactions, as fair housing laws prohibit discrimination based on such factors.
• Adhere to principles of fair treatment: The expectation is to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” reflecting the broader ethical and legal requirements for equal and fair treatment in all dealings.

Therefore, “All of the above” encompasses the full meaning of a “color-blind” industry in the context of fair housing.
