The One America Principles cooperate with Real Estate Auction Principles
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) created the principles
to help real estate professionals with awareness, communication, and planning
for a diversity-orienter practice. The One America Principles were the basis for
NAR's development of a diversity course.
The One America Principles in the Real Estate Auction Field
- A diverse demographic community
- Opportunity for all
- Responsibility for all
- Respect and celebration for diversity while embracing shared
values
The following set of principles of professional conduct for practicing real
estate professionals were created to support the One America Principles
- I welcome you and want to do business with you.
- I will base my decision and opinions of you and who you are, not on any
preconceived stereotypes or ingrained value judgments.
- I subscribe to the federal Fair Housing Act and its principles.
- I embrace and celebrate the strength that diversity brings to our
communities and our nation.
- I will help you find opportunities to buy the home you choose.
- I will market home ownership to the public and reach out to people who may
not know that home ownership is a realistic opinion.
- I will make sure you know there is a full range of housing choices available
to you, and encourage you to consider all communities and neighborhoods.
- I will make every effort to maintain open two-way communication. If we do
not share a common language, I will work with you to someone who can interpret.
- I have incorporated these principles in my daily operations and my overall
business plan. I would be proud to share the plan with you.
- I am here to help you meet your real estate needs because you are the reason
I am in business.
- Please let me know about any cultural or special needs that you have so that
our business relationship will be comfortable and successful.
