Lessons Learned from the Long Island Divided: The investigation that is shaking up the real estate industry

Description

Sponsored by the BCAR DEI Committee

Join Bill Dedman, from Newsday’s undercover investigation team, which discovered residential real estate brokerages that were reinforcing racial segregation through illegal steering of customers on Long Island. 

Bill will explain how the 3- year investigation found evidence of widespread separation and unequal treatment of minority homebuyers and minority communities on Long Island. He will share how tests were conducted and how the series of testers were documenting their findings. He’ll provide strategies to avoid steering and ensure fair treatment. 

This power hour will be eye-opening for BCAR brokers and agents as Bill reveals how and what agents were doing to violate the Fair Housing Act.
