Fair Housing Requirements
National Association of REALTORS® new-member applicants must now complete two hours of fair housing training and existing members must complete two hours of fair housing training every three years as a condition of REALTOR® membership. This requirement must be met for the current triennium which ends December 14, 2024.
Courses satisfying the new NAR requirement are:
- At Home With Diversity, a course to help real estate professionals work successfully in an increasingly diverse marketplace.
- Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing, a course to help real estate professionals identify and interrupt stereotypical thinking to avoid fair housing pitfalls.
- Qualified equivalent courses provided by state and local associations, institutes, societies and councils, and their partnered providers.
- Qualified equivalent fair housing courses approved by state licensing authorities for an existing state fair housing requirement.
- A to-be-created non-residential practitioner course focused on bias and anti-discrimination training.
Fairhaven, NAR’s online fair housing simulation, will also be updated to meet the stated learning objectives and two-hour minimum time frame so that it can be included in the list of qualifying courses and serve as the no-cost option.
