Fair Housing in WA Real Estate Market

On March 14, 2025, Real Estate Academy of Washington will host an engaging three-hour informative event encouraging brokers to increase their awareness of the Fair Housing Justice Center. Mark Hein, eXp Realty Real Estate Agent, features the upcoming event to be hosted at Century 21 Beutler & Associates Spokane:

A history of discrimination has made a monumentally negative impact throughout the history of American homeownership. Unfortunately, a lack of understanding of this unique hurdle of experience has created a gap between many brokers and their clients. It is the duty and responsibility of real estate brokers, real estate agents and realtors to recognize the difficulties posed by a history of discrimination, in terms of securing housing.

The Fair Housing in WA event by Real Estate Academy Washington will explore how brokers can better understand the legal framework set forth to prevent housing discrimination. Fair housing opportunities are simple in theory: everyone should have access to quality, affordable housing regardless of age, sex, race, ability or any other identity. Unfortunately, housing discrimination is a very real issue. Even in 2025, many prospective homeowners and event renters struggle to overcome this hurdle. At the Fair Housing in WA Real Estate Market event, Real Estate Academy Washington will proactively imprint an understanding that all people should be treated equally — in the real estate market, homebuying and selling experiences and, of course, in every other aspect of business and life.

Interested in starting your own career as a Real Estate Agent? eXp Realty Realtor Mark Hein shares step by step instruction son how to get started in the Washington real estate market as an Agent working with buyers and sellers:

Meet Requirements of Washington State Department of Licensing

In order to pursue a career as a Real Estate Agent / Realtor, you must meet the requirements of the Washington State Department of Licensing. Mark Hein outlines those requirements as follows: You must be at least 18 years of age and maintain a diploma or equivalent (i.e. GED). Additionally, you must complete 90 hours of real estate training at an approved institution, which includes a 60 hour course in Real Estate Fundamentals and a 30 hour course in Real Estate Practices.
