Definition: Directing or limiting a person's housing choices because of a protected characteristic rather than the person's lawful preferences and qualifications.
Example
An agent shows equivalent homes in different neighborhoods to otherwise similar buyers solely because of their race.
Keep the distinction clear
Providing consistent objective information and following a buyer's stated needs differs from selecting neighborhoods based on protected traits or stereotypes.
