Bias Override teaches REALTORS® how to: 
  
Understand the history of bias and discrimination in real estate.
Explain how implicit bias may result in violations of Fair Housing laws and industry ethics.
Identify interventions to prevent implicit bias, identity anxiety, and stereotype threat from influencing behavior.
Increase personal motivation to confront these phenomena in their business and community.
