Adam Morrow | Real Estate Attorney | Real Estate Broker I have successfully represented buyers and sellers in virtually every type of residential real estate transaction, including traditional buyer/seller transactions, short sales, foreclosures (bank-owned) and bankruptcy court sales. As one of the select few Redfin short sale partner agents, I represent clients in King and Kitsap county and exclusively handle all of Redfin's short sales in Kitsap county. As a trial lawyer for more than a decade, I fought for the rights of people against large corporations and insurance companies who put profits over public safety. On behalf of my clients, I litigated and successfully resolved dozens of complex, multi-million dollar cases. One in particular, became a nationally recognized, landmark case in the field of medicine. As a real estate attorney and real estate broker, I bring the same tenacity, skills, and experience in representing clients. Sound Counsel Realty is an essential, innovative and common sense approach to the current limitations in today's real estate market. My past personal experiences as well as the experiences of family and friends have been frustrating when buying and selling homes. Frequently the services offered by real estate agents do not justify the excessive fees charged or provide the legal representation needed for buyers and sellers. |

Without question, one of the most critical requirements of the buying and selling homes is a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the complexities of contract law. Without legal representation, buyers and sellers expose themselves to serious and unnecessary risks. People in need of serious medical care seek the services of a physician. Likewise, buying and selling homes are legal matters involving a wide array of legal fields, including an understanding of real estate law, contract law, statutes, administrative codes, court decisions, the law of torts, trusts and estates, family law, and even criminal law. In view of the minefield of known and unknown legal issues, only a real estate agent who is also an attorney can more fully represent your interests. Until now, buyers and sellers have not had the opportunity to go to a real estate brokerage/law firm and hire one person who is both a real estate agent and a real estate attorney. They do now.
