“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a house is tough enough. But inheriting one that’s also behind on mortgage payments? That’s a whole new level of stress.
If you’re dealing with probate and pre-foreclosure at the same time, time is running out — and decisions need to happen fast.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in these complex, high-stress situations. We can help you sell quickly, protect your inheritance, and stop the foreclosure clock — even if probate isn’t done yet.
⏳ What Happens When a Probate Home Is in Default?
If the deceased homeowner had a mortgage, it doesn’t go away. The bank can still:
- Issue a Notice of Default
- Start the foreclosure timeline
- Move toward auction — even during probate
Once a Notice of Trustee Sale is filed in Everett, the house can be sold at auction in as little as 120 days — and you could lose the equity AND the inheritance.
🧾 Can You Sell Before Probate is Finished?
Yes — with court approval or by working with the appointed personal representative, you can sell the house before probate concludes. We’ll work with your probate attorney to coordinate:
✅ Fast court-friendly closing
✅ Payoff of back mortgage + tax debt
✅ Cash disbursement to heirs
✅ Avoiding further interest, fees, or court delays
💡 Why Sellers Choose Us
❌ No need to make repairs
❌ No need to clean out or stage the home
❌ No waiting for court decisions alone
✅ We work directly with probate reps, heirs, and attorneys
✅ We can stop foreclosure with a purchase agreement and pay off the loan

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.
