REAL ESTATE

Real estate transactions can be a balancing act of financing, construction and scheduling not to mention dreams and expectations. Due to this unique nature conflicts often arise. The Colorado Real Estate Commision's accepted contracts incoprorates a mandatory mediation clause for resolving disputes that are not able to resolve themselves directly.

The types of conflicts that arise include anything that may be specified in the contract or possibly unfortunately ommitted. Real estate is an industry that is based on relationships which is why mediation is an appropriate strategy for addressing these differences. Word of mouth spreads quickly about how individuals and firms conduct themselves in business and may impact you in the future if the issues at hand are not resolved without due consideration for the consaequences to all concerned.

If you are a broker or agent and the actual dispute is out of your hands (escrow), your clients will greatly apprecate if you help facilitate a mediated agreement.
