Remeta - Second Life Residents to Resolve Real Estate Disputes Creatively

Orlando,FL 27 Nov 2007 -- The Real Estate Metaverse Association, Remeta, has partnered with Open Dialogue, a real-world and in-world mediation/arbitration and negotiation company to offer Second Life residents a vehicle for resolving real estate complaints and issues. Residents experiencing problems contact Remeta by instant messaging or notecard giving full details of their concern. Once received, Remeta contacts all the parties involved to inform everyone that a complaint has been filed. Open Dialogue becomes involved if all the parties wish to resolve their dispute. The filing fee for the complaint is $500 lindens. Fees for mediation or arbitration are additional.

"Remeta is very excited to partner with a mediation/arbitration company like Open Dialogue," said Remeta President Corey Leong. "This service is primarily for the Second Life real estate community and Remeta's hope is that this service will help resolve real estate issues with professionalism and care, " he said.

"Mediation offers the parties an opportunity to resolve their concerns in a respectful, creative way that often keeps the relationship intact afterward,"€ said Ronnie Howell of Open Dialogue. "In contrast, arbitration offers the parties the opportunity to present their concerns to an individual who ultimately renders a decision, much in the same way a judge might do. With both processes the parties are often able to avoid what may be a costly, messy, lengthy, unhappy experience in the judicial system, especially when judicial systems aren't quite sure how to handle virtual world issues yet. Open Dialogue is looking forward to helping people find peace, harmony and restored hope in their real estate transactions through this new partnership with Remeta."
