Real Estate

Real Estate

There is no substitute for experience. Tousley Brain Stephens was established in 1978 to support clients with real estate transactions of all sizes and complexities and today the firm has one of the most highly regarded real estate practices in the Puget Sound region.

Our lawyers have excellent judgment and provide practical advice. Equally important, we understand how the real estate industry works. We enjoy close, long-lasting relationships with many of our real estate clients, who appreciate our willingness to dive in to the details, work closely with their team, and maximize the value of their transaction.

We bring to every real estate transaction a deep knowledge of the law. We work with our clients through the full cycle of a project - from acquisitions, zoning and entitlements, to contracts with architects, engineers and contractors; from construction and permanent financing, to leasing arrangements with major tenants. We have represented a broad spectrum of clients, including owners, developers, homebuilders, REITs, contractors, engineers, tenants and homeowners associations. Plus, our experience in real estate litigation and condemnation cases gives us the perspective to avoid many problems before they arise.

While real estate may be all about location, real estate law is all about experience. Tousley Brain Stephens has that experience.
