OMBUDS SERVICES

WHAT IS THE NRIBR OMBUDSPERSON PROGRAM? 

The Northern Rhode Island Board of REALTORS® (NRIBR) is a chartered member of the National Association of REALTORS®. As such, we have adopted Ombuds Procedures, which are intended to provide enhanced communications and initial problem-solving capacity to the professional standards process.

NRIBR is charged with the responsibility of receiving and resolving ethics complaints, and hearing arbitration disputes filed against its‘ members. The Ombuds person can respond to general questions regarding real estate, listen to transaction details, review the REALTOR® Association‘s Code of Ethics and enforcement issues.

To learn more about the ombuds program, please contact Suzanne Silva, CAE, RCE, Chief Executive Officer at (401) 333-6343.
