“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a house can be both a blessing and a burden. While it may come with memories and sentimental value, it often comes with a to-do list full of headaches: probate court, back taxes, repairs, and figuring out what to do with the property.
If you’ve recently inherited a home in Spokane, WA, and you’re considering selling it, you’ve got options — and REI Branded Home Buyer is here to guide you through the entire process.
What Happens When You Inherit a House in Spokane?
When someone passes away and leaves you a property, here’s what usually happens:
- The property goes through probate, unless it was held in a trust or transferred via a transfer-on-death deed.
- You take on responsibility for taxes, insurance, and any remaining mortgage.
- You decide what to do — live in it, rent it out, or sell it.
If multiple heirs are involved, decisions must usually be made jointly, which can create tension or delays.
Real Example: Helping a Family Sell a Probate Home in Logan
We recently helped a family who inherited a house in Logan Neighborhood. The home had sat vacant for almost two years, and the heirs were out of town and overwhelmed by probate paperwork, old tenant damage, and overdue taxes.
We worked directly with their probate attorney, made a fast cash offer, and closed once the estate cleared probate — handling everything remotely. They didn’t have to clean the house or lift a finger.
Your Options for Selling an Inherited Property in Spokane
✅ Wait for Probate to Finish
If the estate is in probate, you’ll typically need to wait for the court to approve the sale unless you have special authority (like full IAEA powers).
✅ Sell the Property As-Is
Inherited homes often need major repairs. A cash buyer like REI Branded Home Buyer can purchase it in its current condition — no cleaning, fixing, or inspections needed.
✅ Buy Out Other Heirs (If Needed)
If the house is inherited by multiple people, you can negotiate a buyout or agree together to sell and split proceeds.
✅ Pay Off Liens, Back Taxes, or Mortgages at Closing
Yes — you can sell an inherited house even if it has debt attached. We’ll help coordinate the payoff during escrow.
What If the House Has Problems?
No problem.
Inherited houses often come with:
- Deferred maintenance
- Junk left behind
- Outdated systems
- Code violations
- Tenant problems
- Property tax issues
We’ve seen it all — and bought it all. If the house isn’t worth fixing up yourself or listing with an agent, we’ll make a fair cash offer and handle the hard stuff.

About REI Branded Home Buyer
Real People. Real Stories. Real Solutions. We’re George and TJ — two regular guys who teamed up to create REI Branded Home Buyer, a local company with one simple mission: to help people sell their homes without stress, games, or pressure. We actually met at a local real estate meetup. A mutual friend randomly shouted, “Hey George, do you want to be this guy’s mentor?” George laughed and said, “Just give him my cell!” A coffee meeting later, and the rest is history. We've been working together ever since. Our passion for helping homeowners comes from personal experience. George was once homeless, so he deeply understands what it’s like to face housing uncertainty. TJ’s family went through a crisis and had to sell their home fast — with the help of a cash homebuyer. Those experiences shaped who we are and inspired us to create a company that treats people the way we wish we’d been treated. Let’s be real: the real estate world is full of shady companies, pushy salespeople, and sleazy homebuyers who care more about profit than people. We started REI Branded Home Buyer because we believe it should be the other way around — people first, profit second. We’re proud to call Spokane home. Our wives, Jenny and Michelle, love the slower pace of life here and all the outdoor beauty Washington has to offer. George and Jenny have two amazing daughters and two dogs — they love to travel and recently visited Japan to see their daughter abroad. TJ and Michelle are outdoor lovers through and through — backpacking, hiking, hunting, fishing, even rock climbing. Michelle’s become quite the mountaineer! If you’re thinking about selling a house — no matter the reason — we’d love to hear your story and see how we can help.
