Dealing With Probate in Tacoma?
If you’ve inherited a house in Tacoma but the estate is in probate, you’re probably asking:
- Can I sell the house now?
- What happens if the other heirs don’t agree?
- How long does probate take in Washington?
- What are my legal options?
Let’s break it down — and explain how REI Branded Home Buyer can help.
What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process that settles a deceased person’s estate. In Washington State, this can take:
- 4–6 months for simple cases
- 6–12+ months if there’s no will or disputes arise
Can You Sell a House During Probate?
Yes — with court approval or if you’re the personal representative named in the will. You’ll need to:
- Petition the probate court to sell the home
- Notify all heirs
- Work with an experienced buyer (like us) who understands probate sales

- No agent fees
- No repairs or inspections

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.
