Arbitration is a service provided by DBAAR to resolve business disputes. Typically, it's a dispute over who earned a commission, but arbitrations can be held for other reasons. There are two types of arbitration cases - mandatory and voluntary. The lists below explains which situations fit into which category.
The two most common cases are Broker vs.
Broker, and Sales Associate vs. Sales Associate in which the parties
disagree over who has rightfully earned a commission. In these cases,
the dispute centers around who was the procuring cause, and a
Professional Standards Hearing Panel makes that determination.
