National Association of REALTORS®'s Fair Housing Action Plan: ACT! aims to ensure REALTORS® are doing everything possible to protect housing rights in America, with an emphasis on accountability, culture change, and training. At their May Board meeting Directors approved a new Fair Housing Training requirement for all REALTORS®.
Effective January 1, 2025, NAR new member applicants must complete two hours of fair housing training. Existing members must complete two hours of fair housing training every three years as a condition of REALTOR® membership, including one training option that is of no cost to members such as the Fairhaven simulator. The three-year cycle coincides with NAR’s existing Code of Ethics training requirement and begins in 2025.
This requirement can be met by taking a state approved Fair Housing continuing education course. It can also be met by completing the NAR Fairhaven simulator or completing the Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing course offered by NAR.
