COURSE
DESCRIPTION
The
typical American city has a diverse population of people
from almost every country in the world. English
is not the only language one hears in shops, restaurants
and offices. There is no longer a “typical” American
family. There is no one definition of a family. Any
combination of committed people form the rich landscape
that is the modern American family.
The house with the white picket fence may now be
an apartment rental, condominium, cooperative, townhouse,
loft, tract house, multi-family dwelling, or mobile
home. As with the immigrant population of the early
part of the last century, many dwellings house extended
families that may include relatives and friends.
This
course looks at how cultural diversity has redefined
today’s homebuyer. We will examine
the appropriate responses that are needed and expected
from the real estate agent. We will further examine
how fair housing laws work with cultural diversity
concepts.
