Challenges of Stinkin' Thinkin'

Wednesday, July 21, 2021 (10:00 AM to 1:00 PM)
3.0 CE Hours

Stinkin' Thinkin' is a fresh, new course designed to teach you how to understand fair housing and its impact on communities. Fair housing law establishes equal treatment for everyone as the standard. Social stigmas, personal biases and stereotypes can subconsciously affect the way we do business. The perception of biased treatment will lead to trouble. While sensitivity to diverse cultures leads to inclusion, which increases the quality of life for all in the community.

You'll learn how to discuss and define the 7 classes addressed by Fair Housing and Article 10 of the Code of Ethics. All students will be able to interpret and identify the differences between race, color and national origin as well as cultivate a deeper knowledge and understanding of the fair housing laws. Additionally, you will develop your ability to write non-discriminatory advertising.

<h4>Regarding the $25 Deposit for FREE Classes...</h4><p>As a reminder, the Atlanta REALTORS® Association Board of Directors implemented the $25 deposit required for free classes to ensure that members who wished to attend these programs would be able to do so. Previously, we had a high no-show rate at many of our free classes and members who wished to attend were unable to do so. If you pay the deposit to register, you will receive a refund after you either (1) attend the course or (2) cancel with 48 hours of advance notice. Thank you for your understanding.</p>
