We will be doing that as our next step.And yes, my agent just said that mediation/arbitration/court will be the way to get the EMD back.

The consultants proposed very different recommendations - one said I should pay them to avoid an arbitration, and the other said I should fire themI know it costs money for arbitration but I also have been burned by their attitude and lack of progressIf it were you would you try to work it out to optimize for money / time to flip the project?

Hi,
I am actively looking for STR rental properties in Nashville. If anyone has any units available please contact me.
Thanks

In California you have to go through Mediation and Arbitration before court.  

Otherwise, why go thru the nonsense of tying it up for nothing.Alternatively, good contracts have disputes settled by arbitration and damages limited to E/M of which he prob had ZERO. 

What you are basically doing is creating a IDM position that skips the intent of the IDM position and goes straight to arbitration...yet having the option to go to a arbitrator or mediator afterwards... 

You can push this if you want, but odds are good the $10,000 disappears if this goes to arbitration.

We need to include a couple of clauses about arbitration and zoning changes after sale per OR law.  

Never forget that you're not just paying them for liability protection - they're also getting paid to arbitrate claims on your behalf, because if they don't you can usually file your own claim on the insurance policy.

ARBITRATION.
