Equal Housing Opportunity

Desert Reserve and broker/officer Alisa Gibson Williams (DRE #01247161) are committed to compliance with all federal, state, and local fair housing laws.

The federal standard

The Federal Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended) prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on:

Race
Color
Religion
National origin
Sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation)
Familial status
Disability

The California standard

California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Unruh Civil Rights Act extend protections beyond the federal baseline. California also prohibits discrimination on the basis of:

Ancestry
Age
Marital status
Source of income (including housing vouchers)
Veteran or military status
Genetic information
Citizenship or immigration status
Primary language

Our commitment

We do not, and will not, discriminate against any prospective buyer, seller, or tenant on any of the bases listed above. We provide the same level of professional service, the same level of access to listings and information, and the same level of advocacy in negotiation, regardless of any of these characteristics.

If at any point you feel you have not received fair and equal service from our brokerage, we want to know. Please contact us directly, or file a complaint through one of the channels below.
