C.A.R. Ombudsman Volunteers On Call to Answer Non-Legal Questions
If you’re a member looking to resolve a minor dispute or communication issue with another REALTOR®, a C.A.R. Ombudsman can help! C.A.R. Ombudsmen are REALTORS® who volunteer their time to answer non-legal questions and resolve non-legal disputes.
C.A.R. Ombudsman aim to enhance communication among REALTORS® and can propose resolutions for minor issues raised by clients or other members, avoiding escalation. Some common grievances include claims of possible ethics violations and communication issues, such as misrepresentation and lying, as well as complaints surrounding cancellation of a contract, listing, or escrow.
Please Note: Ombudsmen are not attorneys, and do not provide legal advice or answer legal questions.

Windows 10 Support Ends – Oct. 14
Microsoft will soon stop providing security updates, technical assistance, and feature updates, making computers running Windows 10 more vulnerable to viruses and malware. As a result, CCAR will be unable to support members with computer issues using Windows 10.
We recommend contacting your IT department or CCAR to check if your computer is eligible for an upgrade to Windows 11. CCAR can also assist with a new laptop transition.
For details, contact CCAR Member Services at 925.295.1270 or [email protected].
Help Your Clients Protect Their Privacy & Safety
When clients prepare their homes for sale, they often focus on curb appeal and staging — but privacy and safety are just as critical. With photography, video, and frequent visitors now standard in the selling process, REALTORS® play an essential role in helping clients safeguard their personal information and belongings.
NAR is providing members with a new Consumer Guide: Home Selling Tips for Privacy and Safety, designed to help you educate clients on best practices. The guide covers everything from stowing personal items and securing valuables to discouraging unauthorized photography and using electronic lockboxes to monitor access.
As REALTORS®, you are uniquely positioned — and ethically obligated — to protect our clients’ best interests. This resource makes it easier to start the conversation and provide practical advice.
