Family Dispute over Real Estate

The phone call came in for possible Mediation Services for the Southern California Dispute.

Parents, son and daughter in law have parted ways over a verbal partnership that has turned upside down.

Improvements were made, funds extended.

A disagreement has arisen on what should a settlement look like.

This is a perfect match for Mediation.

There is high emotions among these family members. 

This should be resolved in Mediation vs Litigation.

This past weekend on Saturday, to accommodate those with small children and also due to COVID-19, we completed a successful virtual real estate mediation between buyer and seller parties.

In the beginning, both parties were very set on receiving no less than their original proposals.
As time progressed and through careful, neutral, mediation a peaceful resolution was reached.

COVID-19 has effected us all in various ways, and we hope that everyone is being safe.

Virtual solutions have been irreplaceable in many businesses including my own and we look forward to the continued positive responses to such an unprecedented event.

We are glad to have been able to bring this dispute to a timely and peaceful resolution despite the pandemic wanting to drag everything out in a stressful manner.

We specialize in California Real Estate disputes and can meet in person or virtually to resolve your Real Estate conflict.

Our office is open to answering any and all questions regarding mediation or virtual mediation.

Settling Real Estate Disputes Long Distance via Mediation

I'm often asked if I travel beyond my home of Sonora for Real Estate Disputes.

On a regular basis, I travel to the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Jose, Oakland, Emeryville.

Upcoming is an Oakland Mediation, with the dispute being orginated in Sacramento.

I just completed Mediations in Vallejo and Auburn.

In 2018, I travelled to the Sacramento region 8 times.

Travels have taken me to the Northern part of California, Eureka and today was asked to mediate in  Redding.

I like travelling, as I have no conflicts of interest and I can wear my neutral hat. In other words, I know none of the parties or legal counsel.

Another alternative that expands my mediation circle is ODR  or Online Dispute Resolution, which I have done internationally and states beyond California.

My most long distance was a 3-way mediation from Sonora, San Jose & India, with a 12.5-time difference.

The online offers a cost-effective alternative and is especially valuable with claim adjusters or legal representatives.

The fee's that we offer for long distance are reasonable and cost-effective, compared to Arbitration or litigation.
