"Going through the Fair Housing Challenge and earning the At Home With Diversity certificate is totally an eye-opening and mind-shocking experience. I started my real estate business in a very diverse market; everything seemed OK and normal. I never thought about fair housing issues nor the fair housing rules and regulations. I confidently believed I had been doing a great job helping my clients in their real estate needs. Once I spent the time going through Fair Housing training and courses of AHWD, I was shocked that I had been very close to violating fair housing rules in the past without awareness, or even with very good purposes in mind. For example, as a real estate professional, we always want to be effective and save our clients time. Often I immediately figured out where to show houses and where not to go after talking to my clients the very first time. I made the assumption and thought I saved them time, but I might not know who they really are and what they really want. I almost violated the fair housing rules and laws, even from my mind I was doing it with good intentions. So it’s very important for us real estate professionals to go through these education and training processes, raising the awareness of Fair Housing violations. Some actions without awareness can cause severe consequences. You will learn a whole lot more through the Fair Housing Challenge and At Home With Diversity courses. Believe me, you will benefit from this process!" ~Helen Chen Marston, Keller Williams Central Oregon, COAR Diversity Workgroup Vice-Chair
