A Faster Alternative To Litigation

Traditional dispute resolution often involves:

• attorney demand letters
• expensive mediation
• potential lawsuits
• months of delay

Escrow disputes frequently involve deposits of

$3,000–$10,000, making litigation impractical.

Mediation allows both parties to discuss the issue with a neutral attorney mediator and often reach a settlement in a single session.

The Problem

When a real estate transaction falls apart, disputes often arise over who is entitled to the escrow deposit.

• attorney demand letters
• expensive mediation
• potential lawsuits
• months of delay

Under most Florida residential real estate contracts, the escrow agent (typically the title company or broker) cannot release the deposit unless both parties agree or a court orders the release.

As a result, escrow funds can remain tied up for months while the buyer and seller argue, hire attorneys, or consider litigation.
