Client with your help should formulate the solution they want, and engage mediator to convey message to buyer/tenant/occupant. That might include some kind of instrument pre-signed by your client to make it easier for the other side to accept. You skip steps and save time doing that, while creating the maximum opportunity for a positive result.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>If they respond favorably, then you can wrap up things quickly and cheaply.
