When a prospect inquires about the racial makeup of neighborhoods or schools, you should respond by saying:

"I believe the neighborhood has a few Hispanic families, I can check and get back to you."

"The Fair Housing Act prohibits me from providing that kind of information. I recommend you contact the school district, municipal government, or the local library."

"I wouldn't worry about that, the neighborhood is safe and the schools are good."

"Residents in this neighborhood value diversity, you'll fit right in."
