REAL ESTATE CONSULTING
Summit Land Services is a boutique real estate firm specializing in Right of Way Acquisition, Relocation, and other specialty real estate services for governmental agencies in the state of Washington.
We help our clients deliver important public infrastructure projects for transportation, utilities, conservation and more.
Our licensed Acquisition and Relocation Agents take great pride in representing our government clients as well as serving the rights of those being impacted by public projects.
We understand that effectively bridging the gap means developing and maintaining positive working relationships with not only our clients, but the the people being affected by a project, including members of the larger community and other stakeholders.
Part of the reason for our success is going beyond the transaction to care for the people behind the negotiations. Importantly, we also ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, which forms the foundation of our work.

Testimonials
"Just wanted to express my gratitude to both yourself and your team. Scott was especially amazing during our relocation period. I wanted to let you know that he did not only help, but exceeded my expectations. He made the transition smooth by doing his best for us while still acting in the interest of Sound Transit....We still have one more unit under relocation, but we are not afraid any more, we are in good hands."
- Relocated Business Owner, Bellevue
"Dave does not require hand holding because he has by far the most knowledge and understanding of the GSA procurement process, contract requirements and laws/regulations. He leads the meetings and when issues or questions come up he does not kick the can over to the LCO for response. He is really the best broker PM I have worked with."
- Supervisory Lease Contracting Officer, General Services Administration
"Thanks to the entire property team for being effective in working between the property owner and the technical team to keep them informed."
- Vice President, Tetra Tech Engineering
"The [Summit Land Services] personnel had the sense of urgency and professionalism to provide appropriate contacts with property owners and achieve timely progress in the acquisition of the rights needed. I have worked with quite a few real estate consultants over time and LaBonde easily adjusted to the needs of the County and provided all of the support we required and more.....I would urge you to strongly consider using this wonderful group of professionals. Hope you enjoy working with them as I do."
- Real Property Agent IV, King County WTD
