“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a house in Spokane with siblings, cousins, or other family members? You’re not alone—and you’re probably wondering: Can I sell the house if I’m not the only heir? The short answer is: yes, but it takes teamwork or legal solutions.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ve helped families across Spokane and Spokane County figure out how to sell homes with multiple heirs. Here’s what you need to know.
How Inherited Property Ownership Works
When someone passes away and multiple heirs inherit a house, it becomes jointly owned. Every heir has a legal interest in the property. This means:
- You can’t sell the house without agreement from the other heirs
- Major decisions (like price, repairs, or accepting an offer) require consensus or court approval
- If one heir wants to sell but others don’t, you may face legal friction
Real Story From Spokane
We worked with a family in Logan where three siblings inherited their mother’s home. Two wanted to sell, but one was emotionally attached and stalled the process. We helped them structure a buyout agreement, where we purchased the property and paid each heir their fair share—even covering the holdout sibling’s moving costs.
What Are My Options If Not Everyone Agrees to Sell?
If not all heirs are on the same page, here are your main options:
- Buy out the others – One heir pays the others their share and becomes sole owner.
- Sell together – All heirs agree to sell the house and split proceeds.
- Force a sale – In extreme cases, one heir can file a partition action to ask the court to force a sale.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we prefer collaborative solutions and often help families avoid court altogether.
Who Signs the Sale Documents?
All heirs must sign off on a sale unless one person is named the personal representative (PR) through probate. The PR can sign on behalf of the estate with court authority. We work directly with PRs and probate attorneys to ensure all documents are correct and legally sound.
What If the House Is in Bad Shape?
We specialize in buying inherited homes in any condition, including:
- Homes with deferred maintenance
- Roof damage or code violations
- Hoarder houses
- Homes with tenant issues
No repairs needed. No cleanout required. Just a fast, respectful closing.

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.
