Instead,
as a Mediator, I
function as a
third party neutral, facilitating the process, facilitating the communication, brainstorming options and helping the
parties construct their own agreements.
Many commenters, including settlement agents, attorneys, law firms, title insurance companies, real estate brokers, and trade associations representing settlement agents and the title insurance industry stressed that the settlement agent serves an important consumer protection
function by acting
as a
neutral, independent
third party who verifies the creditor's figures and has the best interests of the consumer and all other
parties in mind.
