Mediation is a fair and efficient process to help you resolve your real estate dispute and reach an agreement. A neutral mediator panel assists you in reaching a voluntary, negotiated agreement. Choosing mediation to resolve real estate disputes promotes better relationships and reduces stress, costs and time involved in other dispute resolution methods.

Association mediators are REALTORS® members, specifically trained and experienced in dispute resolution through the mediation process for real estate related disputes, including but not limited to:

• Deposit disputes
• Contingencies not met
• Specific performance
• Non-disclosure issues
• Commissions
• Boundary disputes or
• Any other issue subject to the "mediation clause" arising from the listing contract between a REALTORS® and seller or from the purchase contract between buyers and sellers.

Mediation is a member service available to all members and their clients at special rates to resolve disputes arising from the real estate transaction at any point during or after the transaction.
