ATWD, stands for At Home with Diversity, and is also called to "One America" Certification. It is a certification program preparing your Realtor to better serve the clients needs by understanding the many cultural differences within America.
At Home With Diversity is an educational experience designed to present a picture of the changing face of the real estate industry. More importantly, the class teaches how real estate professionals can increase their sensitivity and adaptability to future market trends.
The course addresses issues of diversity, fair housing, and cultural differences. All three subjects are closely related and have value for real estate professionals who must serve diverse local markets
Goals of the Course
The course has two major goals. The first goal is to heighten awareness of and sensitivity to the social and cultural constituencies of local real estate markets. Participants will learn about the people who make up the local market, along with their values, customs, real estate needs, and expectations of real estate professionals.
The second goal of the course is to provide practical skills and tools to increase the professional’s effectiveness in servicing all social groups. Specifically, the course provides skills in cross-cultural communication and strategic business planning.
