FIRST-PARTY PROPERTY MEDIATION
WHAT IS FIRST-PARTY PROPERTY MEDIATION?
First-party property mediation deals with property insurance disputes. The “first-party” is the owner of the property that has been damaged. These disputes can also include home owners’ associations (HOAs). In many states, first-party court cases are often sent to mediation before the trial, so going to mediation first can save all sides time and money. Mediation, as a voluntary process, also gives all parties more control of the outcome than going through the courts.

Why Choose Mediation for Property Disputes?
Mediation helps avoid costly delays and improves the chance of a fair, timely resolution.

Maintain control
Unlike a court ruling, both parties actively shape the resolution.

Preserve relationships
A collaborative process helps avoid escalating conflict between homeowners, HOAs, and insurers.

Lower stress
Mediation is private, less adversarial, and designed to reduce emotional strain.

Faster outcomes
Many disputes settle within weeks or months, not years.
