How Mediation can Help Other Professionals
Many professionals don’t realize that a lawyer can be an asset beyond the courtroom. As a recently retired Certified Family Law Specialist and Mediator, Vivian L. Holley has helped hundreds of couples, business partners, and disputing parties settle their disagreements quickly and amicably without ever stepping into a courtroom. Through mediation, a confidential and cooperative process, parties are encouraged to work together toward an equitable resolution with the help of a neutral mediator. As realtors, mediation can be a vital tool in your arsenal, providing an expedient, low-cost, and collaborative resolution for the following situations:
1. Marital and Divorce Disputes Disrupting the Sale of Property
During these harsh economic times, many divorcing couples need to sell their home, whether they are divorcing or staying together. This can be a tricky situation to navigate, and oftentimes realtors can be caught in the middle of acrimonious splits, especially when clients face the new economic reality of the loss of their equity. Mediation can provide the couple and their realtor a fair low cost forum in which to amicably work out any disputes related to the selling of their property, as well as facilitate cooperation during the selling process.
2. Disputes Between Agents and Clients
Despite everyone’s best intentions, sometimes problems arise between buyers, sellers, and agents. Mediation is a fair and confidential step agents can take to resolve any issues before formal complaints are filed against them. Insurers even recommend that realtors try to resolve claims using mediation in order to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation.
