Fair Housing & Bias in Appraisals | Virtual Via Zoom

About

This seven-hour course examines the historical, legal, and contemporary issues surrounding valuation bias and fair housing in real estate appraisal.

Through an examination of federal fair housing and antidiscrimination laws, recent industry developments, and real-world case studies involving settled lawsuits, participants will gain a deeper understanding of explicit, implicit, and structural bias and how these factors can influence the appraisal process. The course also addresses the distinctions between disparate treatment and disparate impact, providing appraisers with guidance on recognizing potential valuation bias, applying industry best practices, and communicating effectively with clients.

By connecting historical context, current legal developments, and professional responsibilities, this course equips appraisers with the knowledge and tools to recognize and mitigate valuation bias while upholding fair housing principles and professional standards.
