Latinos have pesadilla with local realtor tactics in Twin Cities, Minnesota

“On a cool, damp March afternoon, Alejandro and Celia sit in the living room of the first home they could call their own.

Sitting in the stillness of their humble Minneapolis home, Alejandro and Celia appear to have realized the American Dream within a decade of coming to the United States from Central America. Their home is clean and tidy and located near schools and major thoroughfares. At first glance, Alejandro and Celia appear to be living proof that America is the land of opportunity.

Further inspection, however, reveals that the opportunity was greater for their realtor and the “dream” was more like a pesadilla, or nightmare.”
