State Requirements

Real estate professionals wear many hats: expert communicator, attentive listener, trustworthy confidant, obedient servant, loyal advocate, and knowledgeable educator, to name just a few. To juggle these roles effectively—and within the lines of the law—licensees must remain informed. Real estate professionals are in a position to provide an invaluable level of consumer protection as they support consumers through their real estate transactions.

This course explores licensees' role as advocate and educator, and how they can protect consumers and their business from the threats of antitrust and fair housing violations and predatory lending. We'll start by looking at what federal protections are in place to combat these unfair practices. We'll also provide the steps you can proactively take to protect the consumers you work with day in and day out and the business you've worked so hard to create.

Course highlights include:

  • Federal antitrust laws and violations
  • Avoiding antitrust violations and protecting consumers from them
  • Antitrust complaint process and penalties
  • Federal fair housing laws and violations
  • Redlining, blockbusting, and steering
  • Buyer love letters
  • Fair housing complaint process and penalties
  • Predatory lending
  • Truth in Lending Act
  • Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act
  • Protecting consumers from predatory lending
  • Reporting predatory lending
