The purpose of this class is to help Real Estate Agents better understand the impact of human behavior when interacting with other people, as to prevent them from unintentionally discriminating against a protected class. Though we may not realize it, our reactions, assumptions, and unconscious thought processes can lead us into treating people differently. To help prevent discrimination agents must not only be fully familiar with the protected classes, but also understand the impact of implicit bias and disparate impact on their behavior and activities. Only then can they provide equal service, equal treatment, and equal access to all. This course will also help real estate agents create strategies for providing equal service, to better understand the protected classes, and identify areas that may be affected by implicit bias.
Successfully completing this course fulfills the National Association of Realtors' (NAR) Fair Housing requirement.
Isabelle Perkins
Isabelle Perkins personal real estate career started after yet another family move and a desire to understand the workings of the business, and this after having worked in a corporate environment as part of site acquisition/ development. Over the past 25 years, Isabelle not only sold residential real estate, but also owned an independent brokerage, became licensed as an instructor to now be working as a full time instructor/ educator, online and offline, teaching and writing course material. She is constantly looking for opportunities to stay current with the real estate industry and share her knowledge. Well appreciated by her students as demonstrated by continued repeat business, Isabelle’s objective is to bring relevant and researched material to participants in a “non-boring” way. The best compliment is having students leave a mandatory class saying “I was dreading the class, but I learned a lot and time went by so fast.” She strives in making the complex simple and the dry/ mandatory topics interesting and fun.
