“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Divorce is hard—emotionally, financially, and legally. If you own a house together in Spokane and need to figure out what to do with it, you’re not alone. One of the most common questions we hear is: Can I sell my house during a divorce?
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ve helped Spokane homeowners navigate divorce-related sales with compassion and clarity. If you need to make a clean break or find a fair solution, here’s what you need to know.
Who Owns the House During a Divorce?
Washington is a community property state, which means any property acquired during the marriage is typically owned 50/50—unless there’s a prenuptial agreement or the house was inherited or owned by one party before marriage.
If both spouses are listed on the deed, you’ll both need to agree to sell—or work it out through legal channels.
Can You Sell the House Before the Divorce Is Final?
Yes, but it usually requires both parties to sign off. If you’re still on speaking terms and want to sell now to divide the proceeds, this can be one of the fastest, cleanest ways to move forward.
We’ve worked with couples who:
- Sold their Spokane house quickly to avoid months of drawn-out legal battles
- Used their proceeds to start fresh, debt-free
- Avoided realtor commissions and repairs by selling to us directly
Real Story: Helping a South Hill Couple Move On
We worked with a couple in South Hill who had separated but were still tied together by their home. They couldn’t agree on an agent or a listing price, and things were getting tense. We made them a fair cash offer, and within two weeks, they walked away with their share—no commissions, no drama.
What If One Spouse Doesn’t Want to Sell?
If one spouse refuses to sell or there’s conflict about the value or process, a court order may be needed. In some divorce settlements, a judge will order the sale and specify how the proceeds are split.
If this is the case, we can still work with your attorney to make a smooth, court-approved transaction.

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.
