REAL ESTATE MEDIATION
Real Estate Mediation is an alternative to the more costly and time consuming process of civil litigation in the courts. An impartial mediator familar with real estate handles the dispute in a non-threatening environment allowing all sides involved in the dispute a chance to discuss the matter. A real estate mediator does not issue orders, find fault, or make a determination. The goal is to have the parties reach their own settlement.
Berhend Mediation Services has contracted with the REALTORS Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh (RAMP) to administer their Dispute Resolution System. The Dispute Resolution System is a program for buyers, sellers, and REALTORS to resolve disputes that arise in the purchase and sale of real estate. RAMP is committed to the principal that the best way to resolve differences is in a non-hostile, impartial atmosphere.
Real Estate Mediation can be elected in the agreement of sale. If the parties jointly elect this option, any dispute arising after the sales agreement is signed will go through mediation.
