D. If the broker and the party or parties from whom the commission is claimed agree to alternative dispute resolution, the claim shall be heard and resolved in the forum on which these parties have agreed. The court before which the lien foreclosure proceeding is brought shall retain jurisdiction to enter judgment on the award or other result made or reached on alternative dispute resolution on all parties to the foreclosure.
