Why Consider Mediation for Real Estate Disputes?

Real estate mediation helps to eliminate the uncertainty of litigation. It can also encourage cooperation between parties to arrive at a cost-effective solution that saves everyone time, money, and emotional capital. Mediation is, generally, a voluntary alternative dispute resolution process that gives all parties a say in the outcome of the case. Parties are encouraged to compromise and find a legal solution that also meets the practical needs of everyone involved.

Real Estate Matters Suited for Mediation

Mediators are neutral, third parties that help parties to a real estate dispute find common ground. By narrowing the focus of the conflict to the critical issues, parties are able to engage in solution-oriented conversations geared to resolving the matter timely. Real estate disputes that can be mediated include but are not limited to:

Neighbor disputes
Landlord/tenant disputes
Defective rehab
Non-disclosure agreements
Purchase and sale disputes
Ownership disputes

Most conflicts arising from real estate transactions can be resolved with the help and guidance of a professional mediator. As long as all parties are willing to “come to the table” and find a reasonable resolution, mediation can be successful.

Mediation Experience You Can Trust

In order for mediation to be successful, it is vital to seek out a highly experienced and well-trained mediator that understands the issues that arise at litigation and can help facilitate a favorable resolution to the conflict.

Professional Real Estate Mediator in Westlake Village

In his nearly 40 years as a practicing litigator, attorney David Schlueter handled a variety of real estate disputes.

Save Time and Money with Real Estate Mediation

Seeking mediation can help reduce the exorbitant costs associated with litigating a complex real estate dispute. It can also significantly reduce the amount of time spent in litigation. Mediation can also help parties control the outcome of the dispute by taking the decision away from a third party and putting it in their hands. Mediators do not decide how the conflict is resolved; they help guide the parties to a mutual resolution. At NS Mediation Group, we proudly serve parties in Ventura County and throughout California.

"David mediated a multi-party construction dispute involving contract issues, delay claims, and liquidated damages. While his grasp of the legal issues was obvious, even more impressive was David’s ability to build rapport with the attorneys and clients without sacrificing authenticity as an objective neutral whose primary concern was to resolve the dispute at hand. David’s preparation in evaluating both the facts and the legal arguments before mediation provided for an efficient and effective use of time at our mediation session. Even though we were unable to resolve the dispute during the first day of mediation, David kept his word to keep settlement discussions going over several weeks, reaching a global resolution of the matter. David’s tenacity and relentless approach makes him a top-notch mediator."

- C. Ng, Esq.

"David’s intricate knowledge of the law, emotional intelligence traits and communication skills combine to make him a highly effective neutral. He is one of the few mediators I automatically consider for most of my cases, and I never hesitate to recommend David to colleagues or clients."

- C. Trembley, Esq.

"Our firm has used Mr. Schlueter as a Mediator on several occasions in the past. In most instances, the cases were complicated by both legal and personal issues which existed between the parties. Mr. Schlueter was very adept at identifying the strengths and problems on both sides in order to bring the parties to the table for serious discussions. His skill as a Mediator was evident in his ability to bridge the legal and personal gaps on both sides to achieve a settlement. We would definitely recommend him and plan to use him in the future."

- P. Parish Esq.

"David is a skilled construction mediator. I have used David for several mediations now and it is clear that he has a strong grasp of construction law from both the claims and defense side of a case. He has always been well prepared on the day of mediation and follows up with the parties for further mediation if the case was not ready to settle on the first attempt. I would highly recommend David for any type of construction dispute."

- T. Tate, Esq.

"I have used David Schlueter for two mediations in which both cases resolved. He is one of the most effective mediators I have worked with in my 25+ years practicing law. I would highly recommend using him and I will definitely be using him again!"

- S. Kirwin, Esq.

"When David was an attorney, I had the pleasure of working with him, even on the opposite sides of an issue. I always found him to be a capable and well-prepared, attorney, and more importantly – person, of the highest regard. His transition to becoming a mediator appears to have been seamless and those same characteristics are serving him well when dealing with both sides of case. Having represented both plaintiffs and defendants, he is well qualified to appreciate the arguments made by both sides, and used that insight to bring even the most contentious of parties together for a settlement of a highly disputed matter in which I was involved. David demonstrated his patience to take the time to educate both sides on aspects of the law that impacted their case, as well as being open-minded and willing to listen and be educated."

- D. Cribbs, Esq.

"Dave, just a quick note of appreciation for your work as Mediator on this matter. We recommended you as someone who could work with a problem property owner/hoarder/etc. and you did not disappoint! Thanks again."
