WA Real Estate Fair Housing Class REQUIRED
It is available HERE on the website! and on Zoom
The 3 clockhour Fair Housing class is required for all licensees on their next renewal after June 1, 2024.
I turned the class upside down… and tried to make the class interesting! It is a serious topic, but some of my examples are outside the box!
It is currently available as correspondence self study class. The class is a PDF with the quiz at the end. You read the material, print out the quiz and evaluation which is at the end, and do with a pen. When you are done, scan back your answers! Pay tuition on the link to paypal… which also process your credit cards. The tuition is $47. It is included in the package price for 30 clockhours if you sign up for that.
NOTE…
You will take a 3 clockhour Fair Housing class for the NEXT renewal! It will continue every two years just like the 3 hour core curriculum.

The new law requires written brokerage services agreements, improves consumer disclosures, and provides that certain legal duties of brokers apply to all parties in the transaction.
The DOL and legislature are working on an amendment to the Law of Agency already! There are unscrupulous brokers … Really??? There are?… That may try to have buyers sign agreements that bind them to that broker for a longer than comfortable term on the buyer brokerage agreements for buyers AND sellers. So watch for that bill to get signed.
