REAL ESTATE MEDIATION – The art of mediating conflict!

Mediation between property owners, renters, neighbors, handymen, etc.

We are offering neutral assistance to positively resolve conflicts for all the parties involved in a dispute.

Mediation stands for “conciliation”. That means, mediation through a third party, which is accepted by all the parties involved with the conflict, in a dispute. This is especially helpful when all the parties find themselves in a “dead end” and realize that they cannot resolve the conflict on their own or are not communicating with each other at all anymore.

It’s the responsibility of the mediators to involve the parties in a constructive discussion and to help find a mutually acceptable solution for the problem together. Mediation is not about arbitration or judgment. It’s about supporting the parties in finding their own and best possible solution. The goal is to improve the situation for all the involved parties by reaching a mutually acceptable agreement.

Through a structured mediation the dynamic of the conflict is decelerated and the grounds for a constructive solution are established step-by-step.

The first step is to establish mutual trust and a working alliance between the parties involved in the conflict and the mediator.

The mediators aim to fully understand the point-of-view of each member involved in the conflict. In order to do this the mediators get a description of the conflict and the concerns from each party, let them express their emotions and thoughts and help them with the clarification of the underlying interests and wants.

To an increasing degree they re-establish the direct connection between the parties involved in the dispute. The counterparty learns about the underlying issues and the feelings of the other party. They get to see the perspective of the other person. If possible the trust between the parties is reestablished.

Then the parties work on finding a mutual solution based on the pertinent questions. The goal is to find an agreement, which can be carried out voluntarily by the parties involved in the conflict.

A joint agreement is signed and, if need be, accredited by an attorney or notary.

The mediator remains neutral during the whole process! This is very important in order to assure a positive development throughout the discussions.

Through mediation the conflicting parties save expenses and unnecessary aggravation.

The meaning behind mediation is to facilitate and support a comfortable life next to and with each other.
