Description

State Requirements

This AQB CAP approved course meets the Valuation Bias and Fair Housing Laws and Regulations Outline from the Real Property Qualification Criteria.

This four-hour continuing education course, Valuation Bias and Fair Housing Laws and Regulations, focuses on valuation bias and the fair housing laws and regulations that intersect with real estate appraisal practice. Designed for appraisal professionals, the course centers on how bias can influence property valuation and how legal and regulatory frameworks shape expectations for fair and consistent appraisal outcomes.

You will examine valuation bias in depth, including disparate treatment, disparate impact, and explicit, implicit, and structural bias as they relate to appraisal methodology and professional judgment. The course emphasizes real-world case studies, allowing you to analyze how valuation bias has been identified, challenged, and addressed through litigation and enforcement actions, and to connect those outcomes directly to appraisal practice.

To support this analysis, the course also reviews the historical and legal foundations of real estate bias, including the role of government agencies, key legislation, and court decisions that continue to influence housing markets and valuation patterns. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on recognizing bias risks, evaluating appraisal decisions through a fair housing lens, and reinforcing practices that align with ethical standards and regulatory obligations.

By engaging with valuation-focused scenarios and case studies, you will deepen your understanding of how fair housing principles apply to appraisal work and how bias-aware approaches support consistency and equity in valuation practice.
