Find Out More About the Seattle Area Economy & Job Market
 The dot.com boom that put Seattle on the map as "Silicon Forest" turned into a dot.bomb for many. Still, technology-based industries account for the largest share of employment, business activity and labor income of any major sector in the area's economic base. With firmly established companies in the Greater Seattle area that include Microsoft, Nintendo, Nordstrom, Costco, Starbucks, Weyerhaeuser, Paccar, Eddie Bauer, REI and Boeing, the local labor market continues to be steady and unemployment remains low. For further information about Seattle's economy and business news, I've included the link above. If you are thinking about relocating to Seattle or making a local change to your address, I'd love to be of service. "Stick with Stone" for all your real estate needs...you'll be glad you did. Request my Free Seattle Relocation Package. It's packed full of useful and important information about this incredible area. Don't move here without it!

Disclosure Laws >Defects Must Be Revealed
Disclosure laws make it important to reveal all material defects when you are selling a home. It is important to be absolutely candid with your agent and all buyers about the condition of the property. If there is anything wrong with the roof, the plumbing, the wiring or structure, it will probably not remain a "sleeping dog". The problem will probably wake up, snarl, growl and snap at your ankles at the precise moment your buyers feel their first stirring of buyers' remorse.
It is unlikely that defects will go undetected, because most buyers get a home inspection before they are contractually obliged to complete the purchase. Even if the problems do not surface before the closing, your liability does not end after the closing for any defects you may have forgotten to report. Buyers almost never accept misrepresentation graciously, but they can usually deal with a house that is short of perfection if they know what they are getting into from the beginning. When selling your home, your real estate agent will provide you with a seller's disclosure form. Protect yourself by clearly describing any material defects prior to the sale.
