Understanding the dispute resolution process in your contract can make or break your case.

Описание: Most real estate contracts in California include mandatory dispute resolution clauses. That means mediation, arbitration, or litigation isn’t always a choice—it’s often required by the contract you signed.

In this video, we explain the three main ways real estate disputes are resolved in California and what property owners need to know before taking action.

Here’s a breakdown:

Mediation: An informal process where a neutral mediator helps both sides communicate and try to reach an agreement. It’s private, faster, and usually less expensive.

Arbitration: A more formal process where an arbitrator acts like a judge and makes a binding decision. It’s faster than court but typically final, with limited or no appeal rights.

Litigation: Taking the dispute to court. This can be time-consuming and costly, but in some cases, it’s the only way to fully protect your rights.

Understanding the dispute resolution clause in your real estate contract can make or break your case. Many property owners don’t realize they’ve agreed to arbitration until a dispute arises—and by then, their options may be limited.
