Fair Housing

The New Canaan Board of REALTORS® members are part of over 20,000 Connecticut REALTORS who embrace our REALTOR® Code of Ethics. Housing discrimination is not only illegal, it contradicts in every way our commitment to inclusive communities and economic opportunities. We are committed to protecting and advocating for the right of all people to have full and equal housing opportunities in the neighborhood of their choice – free from discrimination.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion shall guide how we cultivate our leaders, our decisions and our industry. We believe DEI drives the best decisions to build and maintain a culture where differences are valued.
