Fair Housing |
1.5 & 3 | 1.5 & 3 |
In this class, students will revisit the federal fair housing laws that affect every single individual and understand why they are within the law books. Students will have the ability to engage in discussion within the class and talk about their own experiences with the fair housing laws. Specifically, within this class, agents will understand how to make sure that they are not engaging in an illegal act, as well as how to speak to clients who are asking them to do so. Also, if time permits, a fair housing game will be played to provide an even thorough understanding of the subject matter.

Code of Ethics, Flipping and Predatory Lending |
3 | 3 |
Students will not only learn the real estate ethics, but also how to use the real estate ethics outline as an outline for your own real estate business. What the consumer does want is an agent who is loyal, trustworthy, hardworking, and highly educated. In addition, once a client has a great experience, why would they not want to tell all of their friends and family? Using ethics as the outline for a business creates a business with longevity, as it involves continuous referral business.
