Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing

The new online workshop helps REALTORS® understand how our unconscious brains categorize information and stereotypes, and offers practical tools to override hidden biases. The workshop offers many "de-biasing" practices that not only help to reduce bias, but also improve our relationships with all the people we encounter—being more responsive, growing our networks, and generating more business.
