I had something similiar happen when i was in market to buy a house. Talked to a broker, white guy, he showed me a bunch of run down section 8 looking houses, one even a had a hole in the roof. When i told him that i'd like to be shown some nicer houses and said that these were beneath my price range, he scoffed as if i was making it up. like nah nikka you broke these are the right house for you. :mjpls:

So i stopped fukking with him and went with a black broker. She showed me some much nicer houses and i end up buying one the ones she showed me. It's amazing how racism just seems into every aspect of life.

You don't look for your own houses?
