This class fulfills a new National Association of Realtors (NAR) requirement of the Fair Housing Act every 3 years starting in 2025.

NAR’s Board of Directors approved this new policy during the May 2023 REALTORS legislative meetings that instituted a fair housing training requirement for all members. The policy is based on a recommendation created by a work group composed of members of the Fair Housing Committee, Professional Development Committee, Association Executives Committee, and Membership Policy and Board Jurisdiction Committee (The recommendation was presented to the Board by the latter). The Fair Housing Committee found that less than half of the states require regular fair housing training as a condition of maintaining licensure, and many real estate agents currently have no requirement for fair housing training of any kind. NAR sees providing equal professional services to be an essential part of their commitment to a higher ethical standard.

Join us to review the history of housing segregation in the United States, explore specific real estate malpractices, and learn about the preferred actions of the profession. Meal Provided.

Fair Housing Act, Louisiana, 0006 is a Louisiana Real Estate Commission approved continuing education class worth 2 hours of Fair Housing Act credit upon completion.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand why fair housing laws were necessary by learning about the history of housing discrimination and its lasting impact.
  • Recognize the danger in making assumptions based on stereotypes, and the importance of allowing consumers to choose which communities/neighborhoods they want to live in.
  • Identify the laws that make housing discrimination illegal, and the actions prohibited and required by these laws in the business of real estate.
  • Know the personal characteristics that federal law protects from discrimination in housing, including race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability.
  • Distinguish state and local government protections that may exceed federal protections.
  • Describe best practices in fair housing marketing.
  • Describe what reasonable accommodations and modifications for people with disabilities may be required by fair housing laws.
  • Explain what steering is and discuss strategies to avoid it.
  • Identify what resources are available to provide fair housing information and assistance to clients.
  • Utilize interventions to interrupt implicit bias so that consumers are treated with equal concern, respect, and fairness.
