When a mutually acceptable solution has been reached, the mediator prepares a written agreement detailing the settlement terms. Once the settlement agreement is signed, the parties are legally bound.

The Arizona Association of Realtors has established a Dispute Resolution System ("DRS") specifically designed for quick and inexpensive mediation of any kind of real estate dispute. Out-of-Court Solutions is an approved Mediator for the Arizona Association of Realtors.

Benefits of Real Estate Mediation

Highly Effective
Statistics show that mediation is successful 80-90% of the time.

Saves Time - Saves Money
Mediation is scheduled at the convenience of the parties and proceeds quickly (usually within 30 days). Since the parties typically split the mediator’s fees, no one pays an excessive amount.

Mediation is collaborative
Mediation is intended to reduce hostility, increase understanding, and focus on solutions not problems. Attorneys can be included, but as “consultants” not “combatants.”

Private and Confidential
Anything said or presented in writing during mediation is strictly private and confidential, precluding public disclosure or later use as evidence in court.

Control
Mediation fully belongs to the parties - not an outside judge or arbitrator who imposes a decision. The parties make all decisions and determine the outcome of the dispute. If a settlement is not reached, the parties are free to arbitrate or litigate as if the mediation never took place.
