July 1 2008 by Jim W Hildreth Real Estate Mediation Services.
Its only Tuesday and its July 1st and my phone has been busy with mediation request and perhaps its the present economy.
My first call was to assist in a new bride who was not happy that the wedding hall, and coordinator did not live up to their promises, they were 3 hours behind, thus causing a problem for the entire day for the bride & groom and guest. A Mediation has been requested.
The second request is over a landlord/tenant dispute where the landlord gave recently a one year lease and now want to cancel the lease for a new buyer as the seller is facing the potential foreclosure and there are buyers who would like to purchase the home that has been for sale close to a year. Mediation has been requested.
The 3rd request is from a Landlord from Sacramento who wants a tenant to vacate.
It seems that Realtors are fighting over "Procuuring Cause" issues.
Buyers and sellers are fighting over non-disclosure issues.
I sence and have confidence that the majority of these disputes can be settled and as one mediator once said, "You see conflict, I see Opportunity"

"Winning at Mediation"
June 27th 2008 by Jim W Hildreth Real Estate Mediation ServicesOne of the pleasures in my mediation practice is meeting other mediators, sharing ideas and often learning from their experience and wisdom.
Today I recieved from Nancy E Hudgins a San Francisco mediator-attorney who shared a compiltation of essays on mediation preparation.
The pamphlet started with an idea from her blog http://www.civilnegotiation.com/ on a series of post on preparing for mediation.
From developing a pre-mediation checklist, listening skills, matching the mediator, creating value, strategies to developing a plan.
I enjoyed the chapter that "Mediation is Not"
A armed conflict, hand -to-hand combat nor is it Moot Court.
Nancy explains that mediation is a different skill. One that is more collegial, cooperative, and collaborative.
Nancy believes that to always be positive and to stay positive.
I have learned that when I tell parties in a "Dispute" that by the end of the mediation we will settle this conflict today, it sets out a positive outcome.
Nancy invites the reader to "Construct your own plan" for successful negotiation or mediation.
