Contracts & Conflict Resolution NEW Brokers know that nothing good comes as a certified letter or as a phone call starting out as “We need to talk!” or as “Mr. Smith’s attorney is on the phone.”… Negotiated agreements don’t always work as well as we think they should and sometimes “stuff happens”. We’ll review the contract and the areas where negotiations can go wrong. When that happens, we’ll review the contract’s conflict resolution provisions, how mediation works, and actually do a short mediation. Kathy Howe teaches this class as one of 25 Maricopa County Court volunteer mediators.
