I receive this kind of question quite often from both clients and prospective buyers. Here is how I answered a recent query
Hi Ryan As several of my fellow Realtors have stated, Federal Equal Housing Opportunity Law prevents Real Estate practitioners from "Steering" folks to areas based on where we think might be good for them. Suffice it to say that I don't know how much crime is too much for you or what you consider to be a good school. That said however, I specialize at providing my clients with the information they need to make an INFORMED decision on what property and neighborhood would best suit THEIR needs. The websites below contain some general information on schools, crime an area statistics for you. If you would like to work with an Accredited Buyer Representative and Certified Neighborhood Specialist, amongst other professional designations, Feel free to give me a call.
