C.A.R. Ombudsmen are REALTORS® who volunteer their time to answer non-legal questions and resolve non-legal disputes. The C.A.R. Ombudsman Hotline is a free service that C.A.R. offers for its members. An ombudsman is NOT an attorney and CANNOT give legal advice or answer legal questions!
If you would like ombudsman assistance, you must provide the following information:
The intake coordinator requires license information to properly assign the call to an ombudsman; however, the ombudsman will not contact the REALTOR® involved unless you request such contact.
If you have a concern about another member’s professional conduct, issues with a transaction, or if you just need advice from a peer, an ombudsman can help.
If you are involved in an active transaction with a REALTOR®, an ombudsman can answer questions about your transaction or help resolve a minor dispute.
You may also request Ombudsman assistance by calling (213) 739-7227. The coordinator will ask for information required to screen your call for assignment to an ombudsman. You MUST provide the requested information qualifying purposes.
