How to Sell a House After a Job Relocation in Washington

Landing a new job or promotion should be exciting. But if it means relocating across the state — or across the country — selling your house fast becomes a major priority.

Whether you’re moving to Seattle, Spokane, Vancouver, or out of state, the clock is ticking. The last thing you need is a slow, stressful home sale holding you back from starting your new chapter.

At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help Washington homeowners sell quickly and easily when life throws a curveball — especially big moves for work. Let’s walk through your options.

🧭 Why Job Relocation Makes Selling a Home More Complicated

When you’re relocating for work, you’re under tight deadlines. You might need to:

• Start a new position within a few weeks
• Move your family to a new school district
• Buy or rent a new place fast
• Cover double housing expenses

Traditional home sales in Washington take 60–90 days on average. That’s time you don’t have.

And if your home needs repairs, updates, or staging? Forget it.

💡 Option 1: List With a Real Estate Agent

This is the traditional route, and for some sellers, it works.

Pros:

• Potential for top dollar (if your house is move-in ready)
• Agent handles the marketing, showings, and paperwork

Cons:

• It can take months to sell
• You’ll need to maintain and clean the home while living elsewhere
• You may need to pay for repairs or concessions
• You’ll pay 6%+ in agent commissions

And if you’re already moved out? Carrying two mortgages or rent + mortgage can get expensive fast.

💡 Option 2: Rent It Out

Some homeowners consider turning their property into a rental.

Pros:

• Can generate passive income
• You keep ownership of the property

Cons:

• You become a long-distance landlord
• You’re on the hook for repairs, vacancies, and property management
• If your job doesn’t work out and you need to move back, things get messy

Unless you want to be in the landlord business, this option adds more stress than it solves.

🏡 Real Story From Spokane

A homeowner in Spokane got a surprise offer for a government job in Olympia — but they had to start in 3 weeks.

They couldn’t afford to keep paying their Spokane mortgage while trying to sell through an agent.

They called REI Branded Home Buyer. We made an offer in 24 hours, handled the paperwork, and gave them the flexibility to stay an extra week so they could finish packing.

They moved out stress-free, with cash in hand and no baggage holding them back.
