Fair Housing: It's Just Good Business

The federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in residential real estate transactions (e.g., brokering, financial, and appraisal services) to ensure fair treatment of renters, buyers, and borrowers. Fair housing laws are a crucial tool for eliminating discrimination against protected groups of people. This course discusses these laws, their enforcement, and the different protected classes. It also provides strategies for running a real estate business that complies with fair housing laws and embraces diversity. Embracing these ideas will help licensees improve their business, provide equal service, and combat housing discrimination.
