About James Deal

I am a real estate attorney who chooses to work as a real estate broker. Selling real estate is the practice of law, and so it is appropriate that an attorney sell real estate.

I am associated with KW Everett, NWMLS # 7433, 1000 Everett Mall Way, Suite 201, Everett WA 98208. Phone: 425.212-2007.

Since 1980 I have been putting together real estate deals, closing escrows, facilitating tax-deferred exchanges, doing mortgage modifications. I am a Certified Foreclosure Specialist, which means I have studied foreclosures and foreclosure prevention, mortgage modification, and short sales. I am also a licensed but inactive mortgage loan officer, NMLS # 64871

However, representing buyers and sellers as their real estate broker is my primary focus. It is frankly more fun than working as a lawyer and billing by the hour. Selling real estate gets me out of the office. I learned more about the geography of our area. I help buyers and sellers in ways that most real estate brokers cannot.

When I work as a real estate broker for buyers or sellers, I do not charge extra for legal advice and legal drafting. I provide legal review from beginning to end for no extra charge other than my real estate commission.
