The West Central Association of REALTORS firmly supports and enforces the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. If you feel that you have grounds to file an Ethics Complaint or an Arbitration Request, please use the following information.
Before you file an Ethics or Arbitration Complaint, read this brochure.
We have several REALTOR® members trained in mediation and conflict resolution that can help act as an unbiased 3rd party intermediary between you and a REALTOR®. This process usually takes less than 72-hours to complete. At the end, if you are still not satisfied, a full Ethics complaint process is your next option.
To request Ombudsman services, please call the Executive Officer, Cara Budde at the WCAR office at (419) 227-5432.
