“Why Spokane Homeowners Trust Us”
Inheriting a home in Spokane may seem like a gift—but what if it feels more like a burden?
Maybe it’s full of your relative’s belongings. Maybe it needs thousands of dollars in repairs. Maybe you live out of state and just don’t want to deal with it. You’re not alone. Every month, we get calls from people in Spokane who have inherited a house they don’t want, and they’re wondering if they can just sell it as-is and move on.
The answer is yes, and this post will walk you through exactly how.
You’re Not Required to Keep It
There’s no law that says you have to keep an inherited property. If you are the legal heir—whether through a will, probate, or via a trust—you have the right to sell it.
Common reasons people in Spokane choose to sell inherited homes include:
- They already own a home and don’t want another
- The property is outdated or in poor condition
- The house is full of clutter or hoarder-level items
- They live out of town or out of state
- The mortgage or property taxes are too expensive
- The home brings up emotional or painful memories
True Story From Spokane: Fire Damage & Probate Chaos
One recent client in Whitman inherited a home after a loved one passed unexpectedly. The house had fire damage in the basement, the roof leaked, and the probate process had just wrapped up. He didn’t live in Spokane, didn’t want to be a landlord, and the thought of listing the house gave him anxiety.
We gave him a cash offer within 24 hours. We handled all title and legal cleanup, and he didn’t lift a finger. No repairs, no cleanouts—just cash in hand and peace of mind.
What Are Your Selling Options?
You basically have three choices:
1. List It With an Agent
This can work if the house is in good shape, you live nearby, and don’t mind waiting 2–4 months (or more). You’ll need to:
- Empty the house
- Make repairs
- Possibly clean or stage
- Pay agent commissions (5–6%)
2. Rent It Out
This sounds good until you realize you’re becoming a landlord. You’ll need to handle repairs, find tenants, pay for upkeep, and navigate landlord-tenant laws in Spokane.
3. Sell to a Cash Buyer (Like Us)
If you want a fast, simple, as-is sale, a cash buyer is your best bet. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy inherited homes in any condition with no fees or closing costs.

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.
