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.

Take Control of Your Listing Photos with the
“Mark Private” Feature
Did you know that CCAR MLS Participants and Subscribers have the ability to mark listing photos as “Private” – giving you more control over how your listing images are shared. When photos are marked as Private, they remain visible within the MLS but are not distributed to public-facing websites.
This feature is especially valuable for members who rely on listing photos for comparables, appraisal, and research purposes, allowing you to preserve MLS access while protecting seller privacy and marketing strategy.
How to Mark Photos as Private:
- Go to your listing under LISTINGS → Maintain Listing
- Click on Add/Edit Pictures
- Select the photos you want to mark as Private
- Click ‘Mark Private’ in the top menu bar
- Click Save and exit your listing
For questions or assistance, please contact CCAR Member Services at 925.295.1270.
