Description

State Requirements

The federal Fair Housing Act reached its 50-year milestone anniversary in 2018. But the work isn't done yet in ensuring that everyone is treated fairly when seeking housing opportunities. When disparities in housing opportunities exist, there are far-reaching consequences that impact whole communities. As a real estate professional working in your local community, being informed leads to understanding how the old real estate adage "location, location, location" has a different context in light of fair housing, with greater implications. To understand where we are and where we're going, it's helpful to review the road we've traveled. While great strides have been made, history must still be written in the years ahead so that discrimination in housing truly becomes "history."

This three-hour mandatory course introduces real estate brokers and managing brokers to the federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.) and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (chapter 49.60 RCW) as it relates to real estate transactions. The course teaches real estate brokers and managing brokers the historical and societal context of housing discrimination, legal framework intended to prevent housing discrimination, and steps to take to prevent housing discrimination.

Course highlights include:

Different types of racism
Disparate treatment and disparate impact
Historical context of U.S. and Washington fair housing law
Contemporary issues in fair housing
U.S. and Washington fair housing protected classes
Fair housing case studies
Gender pronouns
Cross-cultural communication and negotiation
Property management and reasonable accommodations
Love letters
