The run-up to the close of the year is further complicated in 2020 by continuing COVID and political uncertainty. In our latest webinar, we spoke with Harold Speer, shareholder at Hellam Varon, about tax considerations for this year and beyond.

It’s hard to believe the final quarter of the year is upon us. Join us at 1 pm on October 22 for an overview of tax considerations and COVID-related legal issues and orders affecting business and real estate in the Puget Sound area.

As we approach the final quarter of 2020, commercial tenants, property managers and landlords continue to monitor government orders, economic trends and financial realities. In our latest webinar, we took a look at what’s ahead for Seattle’s office market and office leasing.

With the pandemic continuing, a recession underway and an election in the offing, there’s no shortage of trends and developments affecting the commercial real estate sector. In the fourth installment of our webinar series on Sept. 10 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m., we provide an update and outlook on office leasing.

Usually in mid-August, the Puget Sound residential real estate market slows a bit as people take advantage of the last long days of summer. Not so this year. Velocity is as high and the buyers who are in the market are highly qualified and very motivated to buy.

However, the selling process is a little more challenging thanks to health and safety restrictions and requirements.
