Earnest Money Dispute Mediation

Summary

Mediation is often used in Arizona to resolve disputes over earnest money deposits. The mediator reviews contracts, counteroffers, and contingencies to help both parties reach a fair settlement. However, the outcome is not guaranteed and depends on the specific terms and circumstances. Consulting a local attorney for personalized advice is recommended, as they can provide guidance after reviewing the relevant documents.

if the seller and buyer proceed to mediation to settle the dispute over who keeps the earnest money deposit regarding the attached contracts, counteroffers, and buyer contingency addendum what is the most likely outcome?
The outcome of mediation over an earnest money deposit dispute depends on the specific terms of the contracts, counteroffers, and any contingencies outlined in the buyer contingency addendum. Mediation aims to facilitate a mutually agreed-upon resolution, but there's no guaranteed outcome. The mediator helps both parties negotiate a fair settlement based on the contract terms and circumstances.
