I Am A Trained, Certified Mediator With A Specialty In Real Estate Disputes.

Being a professional mediator is all about conflict resolution, and so the job demands a person with excellent reasoning, problem-solving, and peace-making abilities.

When two parties have a dispute, they may call in a mediator to facilitate an equitable solution. Effective mediators require qualities of wisdom, trustworthiness, and neutrality. Unlike arbitrators and judges, who evaluate, assess, and decide for others. Mediators help participating parties evaluate, assess, and decide for themselves.

Parties wishing to avoid the delays, high costs, publicity, and ill will brought on by litigation look to mediators as a more peaceful, inexpensive, and expedient alternative. Courts often require cases to go through the mediation process as a prerequisite to trial.

The mediator’s job is to listen, sort through differences between the two parties involved in a dispute, and find common ground upon which to ascertain a solution. A good mediator is honest, neutral, and encouraging; listens well; and has excellent communication skills. Helping two parties arrive at a mutually agreeable solution also takes a fair amount of creativity. Mediation is considered a form of Alternative Dispute
Resolution(ADR).
