Words to Use With Caution in Listings

Some common real estate words can create Fair Housing problems. Describe the property — never the people who might live there.

"exclusive"Can imply certain groups are unwelcome — describe the property, not who belongs there.
"safe neighborhood"Often read as coded language about who lives nearby. Stick to verifiable features.
"family-friendly"Familial status is a protected class — "perfect for families" can exclude others.
"master bedroom"Most MLSs now prefer "primary bedroom" or "primary suite".
"bachelor pad"References marital status and gender — describe the layout instead.
"walking distance"Can discriminate against people with disabilities — use "0.3 miles to..." instead.
"near churches"Religion is a protected class — name the neighborhood, not places of worship.
"adult community"Only use for legally verified 55+ housing — otherwise it excludes families.
"no section 8"Illegal to state in many states and cities — leave rental criteria out of listings.
"integrated"References the racial makeup of an area — never describe who lives in a neighborhood.
