Terms of Use

Effective / Last updated: August 31, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your use of this website, operated by Pinnacle Group, Luke Bartlett, a licensed Washington State real estate broker affiliated with Windermere Mercer Island. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Informational Purpose

This website is provided for general informational and marketing purposes. It describes real estate brokerage services, condominium buildings, neighborhoods, and market commentary for the Seattle region. Nothing on the website is an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy real property, and no content should be relied upon as the sole basis for a real estate decision.

No Brokerage or Agency Relationship

Using this website, reading its content, or sending an inquiry does not create a brokerage relationship, agency relationship, or fiduciary duty between you and Luke Bartlett, Pinnacle Group, or Windermere Mercer Island. A brokerage relationship is established only through a written agreement as required by Washington law.

If you are already represented by another broker under an existing agreement, please advise your broker; nothing here is intended to interfere with that relationship.

No Professional Advice

Content on this website is not legal, tax, accounting, lending, appraisal, insurance, engineering, construction, or investment advice. Condominium rules, rental policies, HOA documents, permitting, zoning, financing terms, and tax consequences vary and change. Consult a qualified professional about your specific circumstances, and review the governing documents and disclosures for any property or building before acting.

Property and Building Information

Property, building, rental-policy, market, and neighborhood information on this website is compiled from sources believed reliable but is not guaranteed accurate or current. Prices, availability, terms, square footage, HOA dues, rental caps and short-term rental policies, amenities, and other details are subject to change, correction, prior sale, or withdrawal without notice. Sold and portfolio material is shown as representative work and does not indicate current availability.

Measurements and figures are approximate and should be independently verified. Nothing on this website should be treated as a substitute for a broker's current data pull, the seller's disclosures, or the association's official documents.

This website does not currently display an IDX or MLS data feed. If licensed MLS/IDX data is added in the future, the disclosures and attribution required by that license and by the applicable MLS will be published with it.

Intellectual Property

The website's text, photography, design, layout, and compilations of information are owned by Pinnacle Group or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. Trademarks and brand marks (including Windermere marks and the REALTOR® mark where applicable) belong to their respective owners.

You may view, download, and print website content for personal, non-commercial use in connection with considering real estate services. You may not republish, sell, scrape, systematically copy, mirror, redistribute, or use the content or photography to build a competing service or dataset without written permission.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the website. Prohibited activity includes attempting to gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems, interfering with its operation or security, introducing malicious code, using automated tools to harvest content or contact information, misrepresenting your identity, or using the site for unlawful, harassing, discriminatory, or fraudulent purposes.

Third-Party Links and Services

The website links to third-party destinations such as the brokerage's website and social profiles, and is delivered with third-party infrastructure such as web hosting and web fonts. We do not control third-party content, availability, or practices and are not responsible for them. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Pinnacle Group, Luke Bartlett, and Windermere Mercer Island will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or lost opportunities, arising out of your use of, or inability to use, this website or its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and nothing here alters the duties a broker owes a client under a signed representation agreement.

Fair Housing

Pinnacle Group supports and complies with the Fair Housing Act and Washington's fair housing requirements. See the Fair Housing statement linked in the website footer.

Governing Law

These terms and your use of the website are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute relating to the website will be brought in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use as the website changes, including if property search, accounts, or other functionality is added. The effective date above will be revised when we do, and continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
