What kinds of real estate disputes can be resolved through mediation in Florida?

Most civil real estate disputes are well suited to mediation, including breach of a purchase and sale contract, disputes over earnest money deposits, failure to disclose property defects, boundary and easement disputes, title and survey disagreements, landlord-tenant commercial disputes, and disagreements among co-owners or partners over jointly held property. Because these matters turn heavily on documents and specific facts — the contract, the survey, the inspection report — a mediator can help the parties focus on the actual record rather than the emotion of the dispute. Mediation also allows for remedies a court cannot easily order, such as a structured buyout, a renegotiated closing date, or a repair-and-credit arrangement.
