Trees!

Trees are everywhere! What happens when your neighbor cuts down your tree or when you accidentally cut down your neighbor’s tree? What happens when the tree is on the property line? What do you do when a protected tree holds up your development? Learn the answers to these questions and more.

City Council Update

The Seattle City Council election will have just happened with up to seven new council members. Find out who won, what their positions are, and what that means for you and your business.

Residential Brokerage Fees
