This page summarizes important legal information for users of Inquire Lands who are viewing, claiming, or inquiring about real property located in the State of Washington. Please read it carefully.

Inquire Lands is not licensed under Chapter 18.85 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). We do not provide real estate brokerage services as defined in RCW 18.85.011. We do not:

— List, sell, purchase, exchange, option, lease, or rent real estate on behalf of others
— Negotiate or offer to negotiate any real estate transaction
— Represent buyers, sellers, lessors, or lessees
— Advise or counsel parties in connection with a real estate transaction
— Hold funds, act as escrow, or participate in the closing of any deal

All discussions, offers, negotiations, and agreements occur directly between users. Inquire Lands is a technology platform that displays publicly available parcel information and allows users to signal interest.

Inquire Lands does not create an agency relationship under Chapter 18.86 RCW with any user. We do not act as your agent, dual agent, or transaction facilitator. You are solely responsible for any agreements you enter into with other users.

Washington law (Chapter 64.06 RCW) generally requires sellers of residential real property to provide a completed Seller Disclosure Statement (commonly known as Form 17 for improved property, or the corresponding form for unimproved residential land under RCW 64.06.015).

These statutory disclosure duties, timing requirements, and a buyer's right to rescind belong to the seller and buyer. Inquire Lands does not prepare, deliver, review, or guarantee compliance with any disclosure required by Chapter 64.06 RCW.

Inquire Lands does not currently provide document templates. Any general-information links we point to (for example, standard agricultural lease forms from third parties) are:

— Not legal advice
— Not customized to your property, transaction, or Washington law
— Not a substitute for advice from a licensed Washington attorney

Real estate transactions involve significant legal, financial, and regulatory issues. You must consult your own qualified attorney and perform independent due diligence regarding title, ownership, zoning, land use, permits, environmental matters, taxes, access, and all other relevant factors.

By using any third-party resource we link to, you acknowledge these limitations and accept full responsibility for obtaining proper legal counsel and conducting your own due diligence.

When you claim a parcel or raise a mailbox flag, you are representing that you own the property or have legal authority to act on behalf of the owner.

Inquire Lands does not verify ownership. We rely on users to provide accurate information. False claims may result in removal of the listing, restriction or termination of your account, and other actions we deem appropriate.

By using Inquire Lands you agree that:

— You are solely responsible for verifying all information about any property
— You will comply with all applicable Washington laws, including but not limited to Chapters 18.85, 18.86, and 64.06 RCW
— You will obtain advice from your own licensed professionals (attorney, title company, surveyor, etc.)
— Inquire Lands has no liability for any transaction, dispute, loss, or damages arising from your use of the platform or from dealings with other users

Parcel boundaries, ownership information, and related data displayed on Inquire Lands are derived from publicly available county and government sources. This data may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Always verify critical information independently through official county records, a title company, or other reliable sources.

If you have questions about this notice or need to report a false ownership claim or other issue, contact us at clayton@inquirelands.com or use the Report a Listing form.

This Legal Notice is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. It is not a substitute for the full Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. Washington real estate law is complex and subject to change. Consult a licensed Washington attorney for advice specific to your situation.

Confirm the other party's identity and confirm ownership and boundaries through official county records or a title company. Never rely solely on information shown on this platform.

Washington law generally requires sellers of residential property to provide a Seller Disclosure Statement (Form 17, or the unimproved-land form). These duties belong to the seller and buyer — not to Inquire Lands. Read Chapter 64.06 RCW →

Price, timing, contingencies, and terms are entirely between you and the other party. Inquire Lands does not host or facilitate negotiations.

Have a licensed Washington attorney draft or review any purchase agreement or lease before you sign. WSBA — Find Legal Help →

Washington closings typically run through a licensed escrow agent or title company, which handles funds, recording, and closing documents. Inquire Lands never holds funds.

Sales are generally subject to Washington's Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), and lease income has its own tax treatment. Consult a CPA. WA DOR — REET →
