Fairhaven Program
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) is committed to making housing fair for all. And yet, many don’t realize the broad scope of NAR’s Code of Ethics and its commitment against all forms of discrimination in housing.
That’s why they recently released Fairhaven, an online simulation and free training tool to help members identify, prevent, and address discriminatory practices in real estate.
Visit Fairhaven Challenge
NC REALTORS® wants everyone to visit Fairhaven this year. That’s why we’re launching the Visit Fairhaven Challenge and offering all who enter a chance to win some amazing fair housing swag to showcase your commitment to equal professional service to all. Get more details.
