From the insideABODE archive: Windermere Abode broker Marguerite Martin, founder of MoveToTacoma.com, on the question relocating buyers ask most (recorded May 2026).
"What's the best part of town?" sounds simple, but fair housing law limits how agents can answer it, and for good reason: real estate has a long history of steering people by race. Marguerite explains how buyers often ask to be steered without realizing it, why a good agent answers "where will I feel safe?" with "what makes you feel safe?", why anonymous online neighborhood bashing tends to land on the most under-resourced areas, and why the real conversation starts with your budget.
