For more information on Fair Housing, you can view articles in HUD's library by clicking here. You may also want to watch the video on this page.

Fair housing is a right—not a privilege. Fair housing is the law—not just an idea. Each of us is a member of several protected classes. Fair housing laws apply to and protect all of us!

Verify MLS rules in your area to determine what requirements may exist regarding input of listings. Fines may be imposed on those who fail to input a listing in a timely fashion.

A careful and detailed explanation of the terms of the contract which refer to the duties and obligations of the licensee is the basic risk reduction procedure. Asking for acknowledgement that the buyer or seller understands the contract language and answering all questions posed is good insurance against this type of charge.

Obviously, all licensees should advise the buyer or seller to consult an attorney before signing any real estate form, or do they?

This list of words may be incomplete. Fair Housing Laws were created to level the playing field and to punish those who have been found to discriminate.

Topics Covered

Lesson 4: Additional Issues

Welcome!

Learning how to take a proactive role in preventing fair housing violations will reduce a real estate licensee’s exposure to liability. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents, or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and disability.

A real estate licensee’s awareness of federal fair housing laws and sensitivity to consumer diversity is vital to business success, reputation, and growth. Licensees will learn why it is necessary to understand fair housing laws and the impact that both fair housing and diversity have on their business.

A Brief History

The Code of Ethics, or COE, is a living document. It is reviewed and updated every year. This course is designed to give all real estate professionals some "best practices" to follow when posting on not only social media but, in fact, anywhere online.

In 2007, NAR created the Pathways to Professionalism to address issues of courtesy and respect among REALTORS®. This program will work to highlight how each of these programs relates, what changes are made moving forward, and how the real estate professional, be they a REALTOR® or not, should handle certain situations and what guidelines we should follow. On the following pages, you will be guided through the following topics:

• Respect for the Public
• Respect for Property
• Respect for Peers

IMPORTANT: We need your license number!

About

With increasing concern about global warming, interest is growing among consumers about what “going green” means to them. Builders want to know technical details of what it means to “build green,” how many of these details have already been incorporated in their building practices, and what it will cost to add or change materials or practices. Due to the economic law of supply and demand, equally important in the advancement of green building and selling is how to create awareness and resulting demand for these better-designed, better-built homes. In this course, we will identify practical benefits that the “high performance home” provides and features that deliver these benefits. The biggest challenge in the green marketplace is how to communicate this value to consumers effectively enough to change buying preferences. Attracting busy consumers’ attention long enough to educate them about how to buy a home is no small task and demands the right media and message.

We’ll explore the most effective ways to utilize photographs, charts, certified green labeling, press exposure, Internet and print mailings.

When the connection is made between the value of today’s mainstream green “high performance home” and today’s energy-conscious, environmentally concerned consumers, sales of new and existing green homes will assume the commanding position in the marketplace that they deserve.

Topics Covered

Lesson 1: HPH Benefits and Features

Lesson 2: Your Market Niche

Lesson 3: Market Your Expertise

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• We’ll begin with an overview of green terminology and of what is included in various shades of green
• We’ll then review the features of the high-performance home. This was covered in detail in the online course Green Building: Benefits and Features of the High-Performance Home.
• We’ll then identify the benefits that mainstream buyers will pay for.
• We will explore tools and strategies with which to market to new homebuyers and establish relationships with area builders.
• We’ll also look at the enormous potential market for “greening” existing homes.

Finally, we examine most effective ways to market your business through press, the internet, and print.

Future owners can be adversely affected in a number of ways as well, from suffering physiological ill effects or having their personal belongings become contaminated, to facing foreclosure when forced by state regulations to comply with costly newly-imposed clean-up standards.

Citizens need to know not only about the physical effects of the drug, but the other drastically dire and distressing consequences to their communities and possibly their own personal safety, as well. It is of utmost importance for everyone to learn to recognize the signs of meth usage, the indicators of a meth lab or waste disposal site, and know what to do in the event they are encountered.

Welcome to Planning 101!

The professional disciplines of property appraisal and land use planning directly affect each other.

In addition, land use planning can directly affect property values, as plans and regulations interact with markets.

Welcome!

This guide was created to help you SELL expired listings. Not GET expired listings (although it may help do that, too), but actually SELL them…

“You have no idea how thrilled I am that you are reading these words. I’m serious about that. The fact that you are taking time and energy away from your busy life to figure out how to SELL expired listings makes me smile.

Most real estate training products that focus on expired listings teach you how to GET those listings, as if all that seems to matter is putting a For Sale sign in another yard, with hardly any fanfare devoted to what happens next.”
