Fair Share: Protecting Consumers and Your Business from Unfair Practices

Education Provider #2548948 Course Approval #C20205864

This three-hour New Jersey continuing education course equips real estate licensees with essential knowledge to safeguard both clients and their own practice against serious legal violations. The curriculum addresses three critical areas of consumer protection: federal antitrust regulations and how to recognize collusive practices, fair housing compliance including analysis of discriminatory behaviors like redlining and steering, and identification of predatory lending schemes that target vulnerable homebuyers. Participants will learn the complaint processes and penalties associated with these violations while developing practical strategies to proactively educate clients and maintain ethical business operations. Through examination of federal laws including the Truth in Lending Act and Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act, real estate professionals will strengthen their ability to serve as informed advocates who can spot warning signs and guide consumers away from potentially harmful transactions.
