Today, Wednesday, Feb. 25th, the Washington state Senate passed SB 5221, the Senate version of the fix to the distressed properties law, by a unanimous vote of 48- 0!
The bill's prime sponsor, Sen. Rodney Tom, told us today after the bill passed, "It's really important in these economic times that those sellers that find themselves in the unfortunate situation of being forced to sell their home will now have the service of Realtors to help them maneuver through a difficult selling environment to minimize a very difficult situation."
HB 1132, the House version of the bill, passed the House unanimously last week. Both versions of the bill will now be sent to the opposite chamber (House bill to Senate, Senate bill to House) to be considered.
We'll continue to keep you posted as key milestones are reached with these very important bills.
Thank you to Greg Wright, President of Washington REALTORS® for this news!
