Hello Members,
As previewed last week, we are pleased to share the latest installment in our "Consumer Guide" series on fair housing. This resource covers what fair housing is and how consumers and agents have rights and responsibilities to promote a homebuying or selling process free of discrimination.
As a reminder, the guides in this series are available for download-in both English and Spanish-on facts.realtor. Please allow a few days for the Spanish version of the latest resource to be translated and uploaded. For ease of reference, below is a running list of the resources published to date:
- NEW: Fair Housing
- Multiple Listing Services
- Seller Concessions
- Why Am I Being Asked to Sign a Written Buyer Agreement?
- Open Houses and Written Agreements
- REALTORS'® Duty to Put Client Interests Above Their Own
- What Veterans Need to Know About Buying a Home
- Offers of Compensation
- Negotiating Written Buyer Agreements
Thank you for your continued engagement with the guides in this series, and for sharing the positive and constructive feedback that helps us to make these guides as relevant as possible for your members and their clients. As you share these guides widely with your colleagues and clients, we do want to remind everyone that these guides are for informational purposes only, and are not meant to enact or change any existing NAR policy.
Be on the lookout for next week's guide on Wednesday, which will cover Listing Agreements.
At NCJAR, we are committed to promoting fairness and equality in all real estate transactions. Understanding and respecting fair housing laws is not just a legal obligation—it’s key to creating inclusive communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
