Sequim and Port Angeles Real Estate Terms and Definitions
If you have any questions about a specific real estate problem, feel free to contact me, Chuck Marunde's email address. These detailed definitions are very helpful. In Sequim and Port Angeles, some of the most common real estate problems (and this is important if you are buying) includes these key areas: adverse possession, easements by prescription, easements and driveways, fence lines, boundaries, surveys and survey lines, real property settlements in divorce cases, homeowners associations, assessments, seller misrepresentations (form 17 seller's disclosure form), and covenants (CC&R's). Having practiced real estate law for 20 years and now practicing as a Realtor, I can say that these issues, if unresolved, or never even considered, are a major source of attorney's legal fees out here, and guess who writes all those checks? Avoid these problems at all costs. On the other hand, if you end up needing to retain a Sequim real estate attorney or a Port Angeles real estate attorney, may I recommend retaining a true real estate specialist and not a general practitioner?
