Fair Housing Training

REALTORS® are required to complete Fair Housing / Anti-Bias Training upon becoming a member, and every 3 years thereafter, coinciding with the Code of Ethics training timeline.

This requirement is in addition to the Code of Ethics training.

Qualified training must be of not less than 2 hours of instructional time. The training must meet specific learning objectives and criteria established by the National Association of REALTORS®. This requirement will begin January 1, 2025 with a deadline of December 31, 2027.

NAR’s Board of Directors approved a new policy during the May 2023 REALTORS® Legislative Meetings that institutes a Fair Housing training requirement for all members. The policy is based on a recommendation created by a work group composed of members of the Fair Housing Committee, Professional Development Committee, Association Executives Committee, and Membership Policy and Board Jurisdiction Committee (the recommendation was presented to the Board by the latter).

The requirement applies to all REALTORS®, regardless of specialty, and includes options (such as Bias Override and a to-be-developed non-residential course) that go beyond residential brokerage and are applicable and educational for all members.

• Fairhaven: A Fair Housing Simulation
• At Home With Diversity (AHWD): Online or Classroom
• Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing
• C2EX – REALTORS® Commitment to Excellence (Earning the C2EX endorsement will satisfy both Code of Ethics and Fair Housing Training requirements for the cycle.)
