Maryland REALTORS® Mediation Program

WHY DOES YOUR SALES AGREEMENT INCLUDE MEDIATION?

• MEDIATION IS CONSUMER FRIENDLY!
• Mediation is easier, faster and less expensive than litigation.
• Mediation is non-adversarial.
• A Mediator does not pass judgment.
• A Mediator serves to help the parties open communication, identify their differences and reach agreement on how to resolve their differences.
• A Mediator assists disputing parties in reaching a mutually acceptable solution to everyone’s satisfaction.
• In mediation, when an agreement is reached, a written agreement (Memorandum of Understanding) is developed which outlines the terms of the settlement.
• If the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable settlement through mediation, they are free to arbitrate or litigate their dispute as if the mediation never took place.
