Are You Implicitly Violating Fair Housing? With Dorothy Botsoe

April 2, 2026 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM (EDT)

Description

This engaging and thought-provoking Fair Housing program explores how implicit and conscious bias influence everyday decisions in real estate. Through interactive discussion, participants will examine how assumptions about clients, properties, neighborhoods, and even fellow agents can shape professional behavior, often without realizing it. The session begins with a review of federally protected classes and then dives deeper into the root causes of bias, how it develops, and how it impacts decision making. Attendees will leave with practical strategies and a clearer process for recognizing bias, staying present, and ensuring fair and equitable treatment in every transaction. Designed to challenge, inspire, and spark honest conversation, this course encourages meaningful reflection while equipping REALTORS® with tools to better serve all clients.
