Online Correspondence: California 2-Hour Implicit Bias Training
Everyone seems to be talking about implicit bias and diversity. Implicit bias is the attitudes or stereotypes that affect an individual’s understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. Businesses offer training on it, politicians support it, the media extols it. But what exactly is implicit bias and diversity? Unfortunately, some real estate agents let their biases get in the way of working with people from diverse cultures. However, successful licensees realize that working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds creates an opportunity for business and possibly personal relationships.
Biases, preferences, attitudes, stereotypes, and prejudices are all examples of psychological constructs. Psychological constructs are mental associations that can influence a person’s behavior and feelings toward an individual or group. If the person is unaware of these mental associations, the biases, preferences, attitudes, stereotypes, or prejudices are said to be implicit.
Having biases or preconceived feelings is normal human behavior. Everyone has biases of one kind or another. It’s okay to have different likes and dislikes. Biases are harmless as long as they are about unimportant things, like preferring Pepsi over Coke (or vice-versa for you Coke lovers). But when we hold prejudices against other people, and then act on those prejudices in an illegal discriminatory way, we create all kinds of problems.

Online Correspondence: California Management and Supervision
Brokers (sole practitioners or corporate broker-officers) who employ salespeople have a duty to supervise their
licensed activities. As an agent of his or her employing broker, a salesperson has a duty to perform real estate
activities in compliance the Real Estate Law and the Commissioner’s Regulations. The Department of Real Estate’s
Enforcement Section receives a large number of complaints each year. Most (if not all) of these complaints could
have been avoided simply by brokers properly supervising the licensed activities of their sales associates.

Online Correspondence: Serving Generational Clients
As our nation changes over time, you need to stay aware of demographic shifts that impact the buying and selling of real estate. Demographics refer to statically gathered information that characterizes a given population by distinctive criteria. For instance, demographic analysis may divide persons into groups based on age, income, gender, or religion. And persons in a defined demographic group tend to demonstrate similar characteristics, such as preferred methods of shopping or a bias toward buying products with certain features.
In this course, we focus on demographic groups of people called generation groups. In Chapter 1, you will learn about the label for generation groups based on birth year and life experiences. In Chapters 2 and 3, you will learn about generational-specific buying and selling trends and how to better identify and serve the individualized needs of group members. Specifically, Chapters 2 and 3 cover a detailed review of the following four topics based on current home buying trends to ensure agents have important tools for guiding different generation group members through the home buying process:
