Consumer Advocates in American Real Estate (CAARE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to protecting consumers in residential real estate brokerage, title insurance, and legal services. Founded in 2008, the organization aims to help homeowners protect their equity and make informed decisions when buying or selling a home. Its primary mission is to educate the public about inequities in the residential real estate brokerage industry and provide information, tools, and advocacy.

CAARE offers resources for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals, including guidance on negotiating commissions, reviewing buyer-broker and listing contracts, understanding dual agency, and navigating home sales. The organization also provides consumer alerts and articles on topics such as private listing networks, controlled business arrangements, and industry practices. Its website features directories of exclusive buyer brokers, independent title companies, discount seller brokers, and attorneys as potential starting points for consumers exploring alternatives. CAARE states that these service providers have not been vetted and are not recommendations.
