“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a house with siblings or other relatives sounds simple—until it isn’t.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ve worked with families all over Spokane who inherited property together and didn’t know what to do next. Whether there are three heirs or thirteen, we help people sell inherited houses smoothly and respectfully—even when emotions run high.
If you’ve found yourself owning a house in Spokane with other heirs, here’s what you need to know.
Common Issues When Inheriting a Home With Others
When multiple people inherit a property, everyone becomes a co-owner. That means big decisions—like selling the house—have to be made together. Some common challenges include:
- Disagreements about whether to sell or keep the home
- One heir wants to live there, the others want cash
- Out-of-state heirs are hard to coordinate with
- The house needs repairs, but no one wants to pay
- A sibling is emotionally attached and delaying the sale
We’ve seen it all—and helped resolve it all—with a process that keeps things fair, simple, and fast.
Can You Sell an Inherited House Without Unanimous Agreement?
In most cases, all heirs must agree to sell. However, if one person is dragging their feet, there are legal ways forward, such as:
- Buying out that heir’s share
- Partition sale (court-ordered sale of the property)
- Getting agreement through a probate representative
We always encourage families to communicate first, but if you’re stuck, we can connect you with legal professionals who specialize in this.
We Helped a Spokane Family With Four Heirs
A recent client in Logan Neighborhood inherited a house with his two brothers and sister. One brother refused to sign until a fair market offer was made. We provided a written offer, broke down costs, and gave everyone time to review. Within a week, the siblings all agreed, and we closed 12 days later.
Why Selling for Cash Makes Sense With Multiple Heirs
Selling an inherited house the traditional way can be a nightmare with several decision-makers. But a direct cash sale solves the headache:
- ✅ No need for showings or staging
- ✅ One offer, reviewed by everyone
- ✅ Fast and neutral title company handles paperwork
- ✅ No agent commissions to split
- ✅ Everyone gets paid their share quickly
Whether you’re in Downtown Spokane, Garland District, or South Hill, we come to you and handle everything.
What If One Heir Lives in the House?
This is common—and tricky. But it’s solvable. If the resident heir is not buying the others out, you may have the right to force a sale. We’ll approach this with care and compassion and help you explore your options.
We Make the Process Fair for Everyone
We’re not just cash buyers. We’re problem solvers. We work with attorneys, title reps, and families to make these complex situations feel simple.

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.
