STEP 1: Add a Complainant

A Complainant is an individual who chooses to file a complaint against an Oregon REALTORS® member. Complainants, while they are able to testify during a hearing, are different than witnesses. Witnesses have a limited ability to participate in a hearing and are only present during their testimony. Complainants remain for the duration of the hearing.
