May 19, 2026 11:30 AM - 4:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing
4-hr CE (FREC #0027041) + NAR Certificate + Meets NAR Fair Housing Education Requirement

Hosted by Lakeland REALTORS® Education Council and DEI Committee
Instructed by Beverly Pindling
Made possible by a National Association of REALTORS® Fair Housing Grant

🍴LUNCH INCLUDED🍴

REALTORS® know that Fair Housing is foundational to a healthy real estate market and strong communities. Education and training play a critical role in upholding housing laws, addressing bias, and ensuring that all qualified buyers and renters are treated with dignity and fairness.

Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing helps real estate professionals interrupt stereotypical thinking so they can avoid fair housing pitfalls and provide equal professional service to every customer or client. Participants will examine the history of bias in real estate, learn about the mind science of identity, study how implicit bias can result in fair housing violations, and engage in interactive exercises to enhance communication skills and business relationships with clients of all backgrounds.

At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Describe the history of bias and discrimination in real estate to understand how neighborhoods became segregated and appreciate the challenges many consumers still face because of their identities.

• Explain how implicit bias may result in violations of Fair Housing laws and industry ethics.

• Identify interventions to prevent implicit bias, identity anxiety, and stereotype threat from influencing behavior so that consumers are treated with equal concern, respect, and fairness.

• Increase personal motivation to confront these phenomena in their business and community.

By leveraging this grant, Lakeland REALTORS® is investing in the knowledge, tools, and partnership needed to advance fair housing principles in our community.
