“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
When someone passes away, their property often goes into probate — a court-supervised process for settling an estate. If you’ve inherited a home in Washington and need to sell it, the probate process can feel overwhelming.
The good news? Selling a probate property doesn’t have to take months — and you have more options than you might think.
At Rebranded Home Buyer, we help Washington families sell inherited homes quickly and with dignity — even if probate hasn’t fully closed.
⚖️ What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of validating a will, paying debts, and distributing assets (including real estate). In Washington, this typically involves:
- Filing a petition with the local Superior Court
- Appointing a personal representative (executor)
- Notifying heirs and creditors
- Settling debts
- Distributing or selling property
Check with your local county for specific guidance:
🛑 Can You Sell a House While It’s in Probate?
Yes — but only under the right conditions.
If you’re the court-appointed executor or administrator, you may be allowed to sell the house, especially if:
- The will authorizes the sale
- There are debts that need to be paid
- All beneficiaries agree to the sale
To stay compliant, follow the rules under Washington State probate laws:
⏳ How Long Does Probate Take in Washington?
Most Washington probate cases take 6–12 months, but delays are common, especially if:
- There’s no will
- Heirs live out of state
- There are disagreements among beneficiaries
- The property has liens or title issues
That’s why many heirs choose to sell the home to an investor who can help navigate the court process and buy the property as-is.
🛠️ What If the House Needs Repairs?
Inherited homes are often:
- Vacant
- Dated or cluttered
- Behind on taxes
- In violation of city codes (Code Enforcement Info)
- Burdened with liens or unpermitted work
Don’t worry — we buy as-is, so you can skip cleaning, fixing, or dealing with inspectors.
🧾 Do You Need Court Approval to Sell?
It depends.
You’ll typically need:
- Letters of Testamentary (if there’s a will)
- Letters of Administration (if there’s no will)
- Court permission or “authority to sell” — especially if other heirs are involved
A quick conversation with your probate attorney or the local court clerk can confirm your next step. In most counties, like Thurston or Snohomish, the process is straightforward if all paperwork is filed correctly.

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.
