Fair Housing
4 hours CE credit
Date: 9/26/2013 
Instructor: Peter Mosca
Registration: opens at 11:30am
Class: 12:00pm - 4:00pm

Today’s real estate practitioner must establish and follow business practices that comply with fair housing laws and offer equal professional services to everyone. Consistency, objectivity, and documentation are critical in accomplishing this objective. This course covers topics that are important to today’s real estate professional. Case studies help students apply the fair housing laws to real-world situations that they may encounter in their own businesses.

The Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission has mandated that all salespersons complete 14 hours of mandatory continuing education during their first renewal cycle. For the 2010-2012 renewal cycle, this applies to those licensed on or after December 1, 2009. Anyone licensed between 12/01/09 and 11/30/11 must complete the Mandatory New Licensee Courses to renew by 5/31/12. It is the responsibility of the individual licensee to meet the continuing education requirements and to know if they must take the commission-developed courses. While these courses are required for those newly licensed, any agent may benefit and receive continuing education credits for these courses.

This course is composed of two parts, each one totaling 7 hours: a general 7 hour module and two practice specific Elective modules of 7 hours each. Required attendees must complete the general module plus one practice specific module, Residential Elective or the Commercial Elective.
