In the fictional town of Fairhaven, agents work against the clock to sell homes while confronting realistic scenarios where discrimination can occur. In each interaction with clients and colleagues, learners make choices and receive feedback they can apply to daily business interactions. The training also puts the learner in the shoes of a client experiencing discrimination, and includes powerful testimonials demonstrating the impact of housing discrimination in real people's lives.
"Fairhaven uses the immersive power of storytelling to deliver powerful lessons that will help promote equity in our nation's housing market. NAR will continue our work to create innovative anti-discrimination training and to champion efforts that encourage diversity, fight racial bias and build more inclusive communities," said Charlie Oppler, the CEO of Prominent Properties Sotheby's International Realty who was installed as NAR's 2021 president.
Make sure you're adhering to fair housing principles by exploring the town of Fairhaven to help identify and combat discrimination in home buying.
