NAR’s Fair Housing Action Plan

Common scenarios like providing a buyer with school information or taking a pocket listing can open up real estate professionals to potential discrimination issues.

In the following video, from the NAR YouTube channel, we find out how NAR is addressing these scenarios and more with its ACT! Initiative.

Real Estate Podcast: Ensuring Fair Housing for All

Growing awareness among real estate professionals has resulted in a clearer understanding that fair housing in America is still an issue. Bryan Greene is the Director of Fair Housing Policy at NAR, and on this edition of NAR’s Center for REALTOR® Development podcast, he talks to Monica about the Fair Housing situation in America.

NAR Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing

In this video, from the National Association of REALTORS YouTube channel, we get to watch an online workshop to help members avoid implicit bias in their daily business interactions.

The mind science experts at the Perception Institute present an online workshop to help members avoid implicit bias in their daily business interactions. Drawing upon the latest evidence-based research, Perception explains how our brains’ automatic, instant association of stereotypes with particular groups can cause us to treat those who are different from us unfairly, despite our best intentions and often without our conscious awareness.

Perception then applies these concepts to the everyday work of REALTORS®, and offers strategies to override bias in order to convey respect, ensure fairness, and improve business relationships.
