WHEN: Monday | January 15, 2018 | 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
WHERE: DMAR HQ | 4601 DTC Blvd. Suite 100 Denver, CO 80237
WHY: Learning how to take a proactive role in preventing fair housing violations will reduce a real estate licensee's exposure to liability. Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 ( Fair Housing Act), as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, sand and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on r ace, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status(including children under the age of 18 living with parents, or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and disability. A real estate licensee's awareness of federal fair housing laws and sensitivity to consumer diversity is vital to business success, reputation, and growth. Licensees will learn why it is necessary to understand fair housing laws and the impact that both fair housing and diversity have on their business.
