In this interactive session, our real estate and lending experts will discuss Fair Housing laws
and how protections apply differently in DC, MD and VA.
They'll explain issues in shared property ownership and title issues, and resources for the LGBT community. Panelists will also give an update on the current DC-area property market, how to pick an agent and lender, leasing versus buying, and other key topics.
