Recently I have been hired to assist in structuring a real estate deal. Should this not be the job or a real estate agent?
A property buyer asked me to assist in structuring a purchase deal... well, scratch that, assist in assisting the two RE agents to come to a consensus over the real estate deal they are making. I was very skeptical. However, I realized that sometimes, when the parties cannot agree on an amount to a purchase or a sale having a mediator is very, very useful. I was able to point out great faults with both side's offers and bring them to a close within two hours. I only wish more people would use a neutral third party for their big purchases or sales. Imagine a world where you don't have to deal with a car salesman. (eBay and Chevy - I know.)
RTM was established not only to provide affordable mediation services, but also to educate the public, and to introduce the advantages and benefits of this alternative dispute resolution. In 2007 RTM merged with American Mediation and history in virtual alternative dispute resolution was made.
