Equal Housing Opportunity

Our Fair Housing Commitment

Our Commitment

Pelican Realty & Co. is committed to Equal Housing Opportunity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or any other protected class.

This commitment applies to every service we provide, property search, showings, offers and negotiations, listings, valuations, marketing, rentals, and referrals. Our agents present all available properties that meet a client's objective criteria, and we describe communities by their amenities, geography, and market data, never by who lives there. Steering, blockbusting, and discriminatory advertising are prohibited under federal law and under our own policies.

Protected Classes Under Federal Law

The federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 3601–3619) prohibits housing discrimination based on:

Race

Treating anyone differently because of their race is prohibited in every housing transaction.

Color

Discrimination based on skin color, independent of race, is prohibited.

Religion

Housing decisions may never be based on religious belief or practice.

Sex

Includes discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Handicap (Disability)

Includes physical and mental disabilities, and requires reasonable accommodations and modifications.

Familial Status

Protects families with children under 18, pregnant persons, and those securing custody of children.

National Origin

Discrimination based on ancestry, birthplace, or ethnicity is prohibited.

Florida Law

The Florida Fair Housing Act (Sections 760.20–760.37, Florida Statutes) mirrors the federal protections, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental, financing, and advertising of housing based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, or familial status. Some Florida counties and municipalities extend protections further, including categories such as age, marital status, sexual orientation, and gender identity, and Pelican Realty & Co. honors all applicable local ordinances in the communities we serve.

How to File a Fair Housing Complaint

If you believe your fair housing rights have been violated, by anyone, in any housing transaction, you have the right to file a complaint at no cost:

File online, by phone, or by mail. HUD investigates complaints filed within one year of the alleged discrimination.

From the historic streets and bayfront neighborhoods of Pensacola to the sugar-white shores of Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key, our agents help clients find the right home in the right setting — whether that’s a Gulf-front condo, a waterfront estate in Gulf Breeze, or a single-family home on a larger lot in Pace or Milton.

Within each, we know the neighborhoods that define the local market — from East Hill and Cordova Park in Pensacola to Tiger Point and Oriole Beach in Gulf Breeze, the canopied streets of Bagdad in Milton, and the Gulf-front towers of Portofino on Pensacola Beach.
