If nothing else, they can explain the arbitration process better.

I hired a lawyer to fight the insurance company which claimed only a few shingles needed to be replaced.Finally, after almost a year the lawyers were able to get the insurance to an arbitration where everyone meets on site at the house to inspect it and agree upon an amount the insurance would pay.I had already found a roofer and scheduled him in email form to start work 2 days after the arbitration date.

There is a clause in the policy that you may request an arbitration on the damages.  

I have no problem with doing one, just don't want to if not needed.Seller agrees to hold Broker harmless from any damages if Seller does not inform Broker of changes in writing.In the event that mediation does not resolve all disputes or 237. claims, the unresolved issues shall be submitted for arbitration pursuant to the Uniform Rules of Procedure for 238.

According to their addendum which states that it took precedence over my original offer, I had no rights to sue, I had to arbitrate.

I was actually referring to the investment of Short-Term Rentals in Tampa using the method of Arbitration which is what you described in your second guess.

At the request of either party, any disputes or conflicts between theparties may be resolved by arbitration.

I should state here that nothing I said represents an opinion about, or relates in any way to any particular case, or any matter previously, now or anticipated to appear in any arbitration, court proceeding, mediation, or other legal proceeding.

We had an arbitrator draw up an agreement that said she had to pay the rent by the 11th and she could stay.Sure enough the 11th came and went and no rent.

We need a benevolent arbitrator!
