In Memoriam: Joe Fisher
It is with sadness that we share the passing of Joe Fisher on July 1, 2026. Joe served as President of the West Contra Costa Association in 2008 and was a valued member of the real estate industry. He earned his salesperson’s license in 1990, became a broker in 2002, and opened Fisher Realty in Richmond. Joe was also deeply involved in his community and will be remembered for his contributions, dedication, and service to those around him.
Please join us in keeping Joe’s family and loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed.

C.A.R. Ombudsman 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.
