FAIR HOUSING

摘要

The purchaser of a house in Georgia was unable to demonstrate that statements made and actions taken by the realtor for the seller indicated an intent to discriminate under the state's Fair Housing Act. Stewart v. McDonald, 2015 WL 7043394 (Ga. Ct. App. 2015). Brandon Stewart, an African-American male, entered into contract to purchase property for $370,000 from Brad Goldman and his wife on March 13, 2013. Stewart's offer was the highest of three made. Before the contract was signed, neither Goldman nor his real estate agent, Collette McDonald, had met Stewart. On March 17, Stewart met Goldman, who told McDonald. Goldman averred that he could not recall whether he passed on to McDonald that Stewart was African-American. McDonald deposed that Goldman did reference that fact.
