“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Getting the keys to a house you didn’t buy is bittersweet — especially when it comes with emotional ties, estate paperwork, and property decisions.
If you recently inherited a home in Everett, WA, you might be wondering:
- Do I need to go through probate?
- What if the house has a mortgage, liens, or code violations?
- Can I sell it without making repairs or updates?
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we work with people across Everett and Snohomish County who need simple, fast solutions for inherited homes.
🧾 Step 1: Figure Out If the House Needs Probate
If the deceased owner didn’t set up a living trust, you may need to go through probate — a legal process for settling the estate. This happens through Snohomish County Superior Court and can take months.
You can’t sell the property until the court gives you the authority to act as personal representative or executor.
🏚️ Step 2: Assess the Home’s Condition
Many inherited homes in Everett haven’t been updated in decades. Common issues we see:
- Mold (WA DOH Mold Guide)
- Pest infestations (WA DOH Pest Resource)
- Unpermitted work (WAC 296-46B-915)
- Old electrical, plumbing, or foundation issues
Even if the home looks solid on the outside, it may need thousands in repairs to meet buyer expectations.
💰 Step 3: What About Debts, Liens & Taxes?
You could inherit more than just a house — you might also inherit:
- Back property taxes
- Mortgages or reverse mortgages
- Liens (from contractors, HOAs, or even medical providers)
If there’s a cloud on title or unresolved probate, most traditional buyers will walk.
But don’t stress — we buy inherited houses as-is, with title issues, liens, and all.
💸 Step 4: Selling the Home Without Repairs or Agents
Don’t want to list the home on the market, stage it, or do repairs? You don’t have to.
We buy inherited homes in Everett without you lifting a finger:
✅ No cleanup or junk removal
✅ No agent fees or commissions
✅ No waiting on buyer financing
✅ No showings or open houses
✅ Close on your timeline

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.
