### Streamline Fair Housing Compliance with a Digital Audit Checklist

Fair Housing compliance isn't optional—it's a legal requirement and ethical obligation for every real estate agency. Conducting regular Fair Housing audits helps protect your agency from discrimination complaints, ensures your team follows best practices, and demonstrates your commitment to equal opportunity housing.

This **Real Estate Fair Housing Compliance Audit Checklist** template provides a structured framework for evaluating your agency's compliance across advertising, agent training, client interactions, signage, and complaint procedures. Instead of juggling paper checklists or spreadsheets, you can complete comprehensive audits digitally, track results over time, and maintain clear documentation for regulatory reviews.

#### Built for real estate compliance officers and brokers

Whether you're a compliance officer, broker-in-charge, or office manager, this template covers the critical touchpoints where Fair Housing violations commonly occur. The checklist walks through:

 - **Advertising and marketing review** – verify all listings, social media posts, and promotional materials comply with Fair Housing language requirements
 - **Agent training verification** – document that agents have completed required Fair Housing training and understand protected classes
 - **Client interaction protocols** – audit how agents document showing requests, qualification processes, and steering prevention
 - **Equal opportunity posting compliance** – confirm proper display of Fair Housing posters and logos across all locations
 - **Discrimination complaint procedures** – review your agency's process for receiving, documenting, and responding to complaints

With conditional logic built in, the form adapts based on your responses—flagging areas of concern and requesting additional documentation when non-compliance is detected. This smart branching ensures nothing falls through the cracks while keeping the audit process efficient.

#### Why Paperform is ideal for compliance checklists

Paperform makes it easy to create professional, on-brand compliance forms that your team will actually use. The doc-style editor lets you structure complex checklists with clear sections, add context with embedded guidance, and include file upload fields for supporting documentation like training certificates or advertising samples.

Once submitted, audit results can automatically flow into your compliance tracking system. Use **Stepper** ([stepper.io](https://stepper.io)) to trigger follow-up workflows when issues are identified—assign corrective actions to managers, schedule re-training for agents, or alert legal counsel about serious concerns. Integration with Google Sheets, Airtable, or your CRM means you can maintain a centralized compliance log without manual data entry.

For agencies managing multiple offices or franchise locations, Paperform's Agency+ plan lets you deploy standardized audit templates across all locations while maintaining separate submission databases for each office.
