“What Is Probate?”
Losing a loved one is never easy—and when real estate is involved, the emotional burden is often compounded by legal complexities. If you’ve inherited a house in Spokane or anywhere in Washington State that’s going through probate, you may be wondering what your options are and how to sell it quickly and without stress.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying houses in probate. We simplify the process, offer a fair cash price, and help families move forward without delays or complications. Whether you’re in Spokane, the Tri-Cities, or Seattle, we provide a professional and fast solution.
What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of distributing a deceased person’s estate—including any real estate. When a will exists, probate verifies and honors the instructions laid out by the deceased. If there’s no will, the court follows state law to decide how to divide the assets.
During probate, the property usually cannot be sold until the court grants permission, but in many cases, the house can be sold during the process with court approval—especially when all heirs are in agreement.
Challenges of Selling a Probate House
Dealing with a house in probate involves several potential hurdles:
1. Court Approval Is Often Required
Even if all heirs agree to sell, the court typically needs to approve the sale, particularly if there are multiple beneficiaries or no will.
2. Property May Be in Poor Condition
Many inherited homes are older or haven’t been maintained in years. This can make them difficult to sell through traditional real estate channels.
3. Family Conflicts
If multiple heirs are involved, disagreements can arise around how to handle the property. Some may want to keep it, while others want to sell quickly.
4. Delays with Realtors and Buyers
Even if you list the house, buyers might be hesitant to deal with a probate property, and the sale can drag out for months.

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.
