Bias Override: Overriding Barriers to Fair Housing

This 3-hour program helps real estate professionals learn tactics to interrupt stereotypical thinking so they can provide equal professional services to prospects and clients. Participants will examine their ideas about people from various identity groups, explore the assumptions they may not know they’re making, and learn how to be more comfortable working across lines of difference. By engaging participants in exercises to build new habits of equitable behavior, “Bias Override” helps REALTORS® overcome barriers to working with clients of diverse backgrounds and avoid fair housing pitfalls.


Ombudsman Programs

These programs are equivalent to informal mediation. This gives possible complainants and respondents the opportunity to work it out before a formal complaint is filed.  It's important to have systems in place with trained volunteers as this is different than the full mediation process that we are familiar with.  Many associations have found that the Ombudsman program leaves both sides happier, saves relationships, saves the association money, and puts a positive impression out there to the public. That's a win, win, win, win!
