Case Outcome:

License revocation, January 2020

Case Summary:

Bechand told a Black tester that she wouldn’t send her listings or take her to see homes without a mortgage prequalification letter, but she provided a white tester with 79 listings and took her on two house tours without requiring prequalification, Newsday's tests showed. The state opened an inquiry on Bechand "to investigate the allegations concerning discrimination as reported in the Newsday article," and it revoked her license in 2020 after reaching an agreement with her, the agency said by email. Bechand did not respond to calls seeking comment.
