Use your influence to champion fair housing and support the "Fair Housing Forward" effort
April is the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Fair Housing month and a great time to reinforce how good habits and actions, big and small, keep us accountable and have a significant impact in championing fair and equitable access to housing for all. Assuring that everyone has the same access to information about listings and opportunities to view properties is essential. Take action and support Fair Housing Forward by:
- Understanding fair housing, why it’s essential, and how implicit in upholding fair housing is equal access to all in a fair and open market. The National Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibits discrimination concerning the sale, rental, financing, and advertising of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex (and as amended), handicap, and family status. It recognizes that property rights should not be abridged and upholds access to housing of choice. State and local laws also prohibit discrimination, often on a broader set of criteria, including discrimination based upon sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and source of lawful income. Learn more about New York state’s fair housing policy on the New York State Association of REALTORS' site. NAR’s Fair housing policy opposes discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and national origin. And though strides forward have been made, the fight is not over. NAR reported as of 2018 that only half the country prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and that HUD noted that the highest proportion of complaints was discrimination based on disability. OneKey® MLS subscribers must comply with applicable fair housing laws and regulations, including those at the state and local level. Your everyday actions have a significant impact on protecting housing rights in America -- upholding access to housing of choice in treating everyone the same, encouraging a fair and open housing marketplace.
- Ensuring you know and abide by the requirement to submit listings and NAR's Clear Cooperation. As a OneKey® MLS subscriber, you agree to abide by NAR’s Clear Cooperation policy. Listing agents must enter all listings within the OneKey® MLS footprint within one (1) business day of marketing to the public. If instructed by your seller not to market in the MLS, you must fill out an Office Exclusive Form and have it signed by your seller. The listing is entered in the MLS as Private - Y. Learn more about the Clear Cooperation and the recently announced Multiple Listing Options for Sellers.
- Setting and maintaining accurate and up-to-date statuses for your listing. Do you know your status definitions? Test your knowledge in the callout box at the bottom of this article. It’s a great time to review the status definition and ensure that you are updating your listings promptly. That assures every buyer (and their agent) the same opportunity to access your listing. Learn more about listing statuses in the Knowledge Base.
- Considering accessibility in your listings and showings and fill out all the appropriate listing fields. NAR calls this issue of accessibility: Visitable Housing. Take into consideration how individuals with mobility or sensory challenges may be impacted. Among questions to consider are: Is there wheelchair accessibility? Are all age groups likely to be as comfortable accessing the listing? What type of latches are available on doors? Are there threshold height differences between types of flooring? Consider heights for countertops and how things like sinks and faucets are positioned can have a potential impact. Try to anticipate possible challenges clients may face living in the home and hosting others and disclose this information to make for a better experience for all. You can find these fields to consider on your listing forms and in ADD/EDIT in Matrix.
- Including Photo Type and Photo Description in your listings to improve their reach. Adding the caption or type to your listing photos and a description especially assists viewers who may use a visual accessibility screen reader.
Fields to Consider for Accessibility
- Using inclusive language in your listing remarks and ensure that you describe the property, not neighborhoods or people. Consider how your language aligns with Fair Housing guidelines and that you accurately and inclusively represent the property. Remember that the law prohibits directly or indirectly stating a preference or limitation based on any protected classes.
- Utilizing photos in your listing that depict property. Just as the descriptions in public remarks for your listing should contain only information pertinent to the property, not people, your photos should also be property-centric. Though you may choose to show people, remember that these images may create concerns about fair housing, inadvertently showing the ideal resident of a particular house, property, or neighborhood. They also create the potential for use of likeness complaints for the listing agent. Photos that contain multiple individuals of ONLY one race/class are of particular concern.
- Calling out discrimination when you see it. We all understand that mistakes happen when entering or updating a listing or sale, but we also have a responsibility to uphold the law and act in support of fair housing. Please report questionable listings to Compliance@OneKeyMLS.com. Your report is confidential, and the Compliance team will follow up on each report.
- Boosting transparency about layout by including floorplans with your listings. Your OneKey MLS subscription includes floor plans through CubiCasa, an easy and accessible way to add information to your listing.
- Highlighting down payment assistance programs and affordability options to make home ownership as accessible as possible with Down Payment Resource, included with your OneKey MLS subscription.

As an MLS executive and someone who believes deeply in fair and equitable access to housing, I don't view fair housing as a compliance item — I see it as a fundamental responsibility. Either our systems support equity, or they leave room for bias. There isn't a middle ground. The real estate industry has a well-documented history of overt and subtle discrimination. As stewards of the MLS, we must do better. Transparency is crucial. The NAR's Clear Cooperation Policy limits pocket listings and private networks that restrict access. While off-MLS strategies may seem harmless, research indicates they can have negative consequences. A 2020 National Fair Housing Alliance investigation revealed that pocket listings harm buyers from historically marginalized communities by limiting their access to available homes. By marketing properties privately within small, homogeneous networks, this practice reinforces exclusivity and restricts opportunities for others, undermining the principle of an open and competitive market. More recent studies have provided compelling data on the detrimental effects of pocket listings and private networks in real estate. A 2025 Zillow analysis revealed that New York homes sold off the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) typically fetched $13,749 less than those listed on the MLS. The impact is even more pronounced in communities of color – almost 3% less than sellers in majority-white neighborhoods nationally. These statistics highlight the importance of transparent and inclusive listing practices. We promote fair access and help sellers achieve the best financial outcomes by ensuring that properties are listed on the MLS. This practice also guarantees that all buyers have an equal opportunity and that sellers benefit from wider market exposure. Our commitment goes beyond implementing policies. We must also do more by leveraging technology to identify discriminatory language, establish rules that prevent harmful practices, and provide education and guidance to our users. These actions form the foundation of our industry. Fair housing isn't a political issue. It's a matter of professional integrity—and, not least of all, of human character. At the MLS, we play a central role in shaping how real estate is practiced—and that includes ensuring the systems we maintain are fair, transparent, and inclusive for everyone.

Five years ago, in late March 2020, OneKey MLS, LLC was launched. This was almost at the very same time COVID started running rampant in New York, and the real estate industry was, in essence, shut down. Those were scary times. I live on the Upper East Side in New York, and for weeks, all you would hear was the sound of sirens. One thing that struck me at the time was the disproportionate impact the pandemic had on those individuals without homes or living in unsafe housing conditions, and often, these individuals were members of minority communities. It truly brought home in a very personal way the importance of access to housing. It truly can become a matter of life or death. Every April, we celebrate Fair Housing Month, and it can be easy to do the same sound bites and repeat the same talking points. I challenge you to go beyond those talking points. Find out how you can make a difference in the communities you serve. There are volunteer opportunities and advocacy efforts in every geography that OneKey MLS serves, primarily through our shareholder associations, LIBOR and HGAR. Fair housing and inclusive access to housing should be our collective focus 365 days a year, not just during April. Real estate professionals should not be considered the gatekeepers to housing opportunities--we need to be the bridge to housing opportunities. Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about private listing networks and more limited approaches to marketing properties. Exposing property listings to the widest possible audience is a win-win for buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants alike, with few exceptions. I respect consumer choice; however, limiting access to listed property can create potential fair housing implications. Let’s continue exploring how we can broaden access to homeownership and unlock the generational wealth that can accompany it. Let’s focus on building bridges to housing access rather than being the gatekeepers. Let’s make a difference in our communities.
Submission of listings to the MLS promotes fair housing principles and equal access to housing.
