Ombudsman Training Feature Image

Virtual | 2022 Ombudsman Training

October 25 | 9:00AM – 1:30PM
Instructor: Stephanie Walker

Ombudsmen is an informal dispute resolution vehicle that keeps lines of communication open between REALTORS®, REALTORS® and their clients and REALTORS® and other real estate professionals.  Typically performed over the phone, the Ombudsmen will assist parties to rectify situations before they spin out of control.

NC REALTORS® has developed a training program for the NAR-required Ombudsman Program.  Many ethics complaints may be averted with enhanced communications and initial problem-solving capacity at the local level.  Through this training, participants will learn ombudsman procedures that are intended to provide that capacity and, as a result, potentially reduce the number of complaints received by an association.

This is a 1/2 day virtual training program and is complimentary to NC REALTORS®.
