PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
|
An impartial Mediator can effectively and economically resolve disputes between a Homeowner and a Home Owner Association's Board of Directors to avoid expensive lawsuits and protracted legal wrangling. Two Hours "Alternative Dispute Resolution" for as little as $350 per Party. |
HOA
Mediation Services, Inc. is a California corporation that provides
mediation services to Home Owner Associations (H.O.A.s) and property
Owners, in an effort to resolve disputes before litigation becomes
necessary. Mediation involves a voluntary, non-binding
settlement conference before an impartial third party, the Mediator.
The Mediator's goal is to:
- Facilitate communication between the parties
- Provide insight about pertinent issues
- Suggest settlement options
The Mediator does not "judge" who is right nor does the Mediator "decide" who prevails. Instead, the Mediator hopes to structure a Settlement Agreement that both sides mutually accept.
Our Mediators are all experienced attorneys, who are knowledgeable about:
- Common Interest Developments (C.I.D.s)
- Declarations of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (C.C.& R.s) and other governing documents
- The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act (Civil Code sections 1350 - 1378)
Communications made during mediation
are confidential and may not later be admitted as evidence at
trial, should dispute resolution prove to be unsuccessful. Please
see the California Supreme Court decision of Foxgate Homeowners
Association v. Bramalea California, Inc. (2001) 26 Cal. 4th 1
in this regard. The mediation process usually involves
a face-to-face meeting by the Board of Directors or its Designee
(representing the Home Owner Association) and the individual
home Owner, along with their legal counsel, if any, held before
the Mediator. After an initial joint conference session in which
positions are exchanged, the parties are usually separated so
that the Mediator may employ shuttle diplomacy to smooth out
the process of negotiation. Parties dealing directly with one
another may be so concerned with posturing amid unbridled expressions
of emotion, that prospects for settlement evaporate.
|
Our fees are generally split between the parties, although one side may satisfy the entire expense, either voluntarily or pursuant to the I.D.R. process. HOA Mediation Services, Inc. provides a fair, reasonable and expeditious plan to streamline the dispute resolution process through our third party mediation techniques. We sincerely hope that you take advantage of our dispute resolution services. |
