Real Estate Mediation Services

Mediation is a confidential, voluntary process where a neutral third party (the mediator) helps disputing parties reach a mutually agreeable resolution. The mediator facilitates discussions, clarifies misunderstandings, and explores potential compromises to settle disputes without litigation.

Mediation is a collaborative process, where parties work together to create their own agreement. It is not legally binding unless both parties agree and sign a settlement.

Arbitration is more formal, where a neutral arbitrator makes a binding decision (like a private judge).

Litigation is a court process that can be lengthy, expensive, and public. 

Mediation is useful for many real estate-related conflicts, including:
Contract disputes (purchase agreements, lease agreements, contingencies)
Earnest money disputes (who is entitled to the deposit when a deal falls through)
Commission disputes (brokerage or licensee disagreements)
Buyer-seller disputes (repairs, misrepresentation, closing issues)
Landlord-tenant conflicts (lease violations, security deposits, habitability concerns)

  Mediation is faster, less expensive, and less stressful than litigation. It allows both parties to have control over the outcome rather than leaving it in the hands of a judge. It also helps preserve relationships and keeps disputes confidential rather than being made public in court records.

No, attorneys are not required, but you may choose to have one present if you feel it is necessary. If you plan to have an attorney or other representative attend, you must notify the mediator in advance.

If a resolution is not reached, mediation still helps clarify issues and narrow disputes so that future negotiations or legal proceedings may be easier. The Parties remain free to pursue arbitration or litigation if needed.

Most disputes can be resolved in a few hours or a single session. More complex cases may require multiple sessions, but mediation is always faster than litigation.

Yes, mediation is completely confidential. Parties agree that discussions, documents, and settlement terms cannot be disclosed or used in court (except in cases of fraud or illegal activity).
