State Requirements

The purpose of this course is to introduce 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 will teach 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.

The Department of Licensing (DOL) is responsible for developing real estate curricula. This six-hour core course will provide historical and current context to fair housing issues and help licensees understand how to protect consumers in real estate transactions. This course meets Washington's mandatory requirement for CE on Fair Housing topics.

The history of racial discrimination, race-based segregation, and housing discrimination in the U.S. and Washington state
