Disputes can arise during any real estate transaction - whether it's about deposits, contract terms, or communication breakdowns. When they do, mediation offers a faster and more cost-effective alternative to court.

Mediation is a private meeting between the parties involved in a dispute, guided by a trained, neutral third party called a mediator. The mediator helps both sides talk through the issue and explore possible solutions. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, the mediator does not make a decision—they simply help the parties reach one together.

If both parties agree on a resolution, the terms are documented in a written settlement and become binding.
