Fair Housing Course Available for Real Cheap Price!

Ok, what's this all about you might ask? Well, as you hopefully know by now, all real estate licensees who renew their licenses on or after 7/1/08 will be required to complete 22.5 hours of approved continuing education, three hours of which must include fair housing and/or discrimination in the sale or rental of real property.

I am partially responsible for the three hours of mandatory education regarding fair housing because it was my idea as a member of a NYSAR working group committee that I belong to to mention this as a topic of a discussion at one of our meetings last year and it then became a motion and is now law. Please don't hold this against me.

Anyway, here is a link to NYSAR's website where you can take this 3 hour course online at a cost of $25.00 - a 40% discount for NYSAR members. Here's the link:

While you are at this page, take a look at all the other online courses offered at very reasonable prices - most courses are $40-$60. I counted something like 42 courses including a 12 hour ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative) course for $295.00 along with 2 other ABR related courses.

Not bad! Check it out and save some money.
