Fair Housing
COURSE SYLLABUS
Course Description
It is important to realize Fair Housing laws are very much a part of today’s real estate market. Both Federal and State governments employ “testers” to police the industry. Testing is not considered entrapment and the results are admissible in court. Fair Housing is the law of the land, and even in the face of some apparent exceptions, there is no room for discrimination of any sort in the business of housing.
Gwyn Besner of The Acme Institute is a respected and well-known educator in Real Estate. She leads this top quality online video course that walks you through the basic principles of the Civil Rights Act, Federal, and State Fair Housing, and ADA requirements.

Environmental Issues
COURSE SYLLABUS
Course Description
Human activity has been impacting the environment for thousands of years. Industrial, chemical, and energy-related waste materials have had an exponential effect on the environment. It has only been in the last 50 years or so that environmental laws have been enacted to protect public health, safety, and welfare, as well as preserving natural resources. These and other issues have made environmental law more and more prevalent in real estate transactions and litigation, as opposing groups seek to contain and remediate costs associated with contaminated sites and similar issues.
