Process & Fees: TIC/Condo Conversion Dispute Resolution

How It Works

1.  A party (TIC or condo owner) contacts CID Resolution.

2.  One of our mediators will talk with both parties via telephone to explain the mediation process and answer any questions.

3.  If both parties wish to proceed, we’ll set up a mutually convenient time for a mediation session. The session can be at our office in San Francisco, at one of our satellite locations in the greater Bay Area, or at a party location such as an HOA’s conference room, community club house, etc. (The parties may choose to have their attorneys present, either as participants or observers.)

4.  At the beginning of the session, the parties sign an Agreement to Mediate, which references California Evidence Code §1119–1120. This agreement asserts that mediation is legally confidential.

5.  If the parties reach agreement, the agreement is put in writing by the mediator and signed by the parties. The parties may or may not choose to make the agreement legally binding i.e. enforceable in court.

Fees

$220 per hour (e.g. $110 per hour per party if divided between two parties) ^†

†  Fees are assessed in 10-minute increments on a ”pay-as-you-go“ basis.

†  Fees are ordinarily divided equally between the parties.

†  A supplemental location charge may apply.

ations of less than 72 hours (three business days) incur a charge of $100.
