Simulation Training Supports Agents in Fair Housing Efforts Fairhaven is an interactive online simulation which helps learners identify, prevent, and address discriminatory practices in real estate. In the fictional town of Fairhaven, agents work against the clock to sell homes while confronting realistic scenarios where discrimination can occur. In each interaction with clients and colleagues, learners make choices and receive feedback they can apply to daily business interactions. The training also puts the learner in the shoes of a client experiencing discrimination, and includes powerful testimonials demonstrating the impact of housing discrimination in real people's lives. Make sure you're adhering to fair housing principles by exploring the town of Fairhaven to help identify and combat discrimination in home buying. To participate in Fairhaven: Allow time to participate. Completion takes approximately 45 minutes - 1 1/2 hours. (You can leave and come back to the simulation). When complete, take a selfie with your certificate and email to us at info@peedeerealtors.com. We will post your selfie on our Facebook page! We can now access a listing of all members who have completed Fairhaven. We will use this list to draw a winner. Complete Fairhaven by April 30, 2021 to be eligible for a prize drawing.
