Fairhaven: A Fair Housing Simulation

Fairhaven is a town every REALTOR® should visit. Online, that is.

Step into Fairhaven 2.0—NAR’s dynamic online simulation where real estate professionals tackle fair housing challenges head-on. Through realistic scenarios, practical insights, and historical context, you’ll explore key topics like steering, bias, disability accommodations, and standing up for clients facing discrimination.

This course helps ensure that your business practices comply with the letter and spirit of federal, state, and local law, as well as the Realtor Code of Ethics. It also meets the new NAR fair housing training requirement that takes effect January 1, 2025. Best of all, it’s free for NAR members.

Get started exploring the fictional town of Fairhaven and assess how well you are adhering to fair housing principles.
