“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Divorce Is Hard Enough — Selling the House Shouldn’t Be
Divorce can be emotionally and financially draining — and dealing with a shared house is one of the most difficult parts. In Washington State, where community property laws apply, selling a house during divorce requires clear steps and good communication.
Here’s how to make it easier — and how to avoid dragging it out in court.
🏛 Washington Divorce and Real Estate Laws
Washington is a community property state, which means both spouses equally share assets acquired during the marriage — including the home.

🛠️ Your Options When Splitting the House
Here’s what most divorcing couples in Washington do:
1. Sell the House and Split the Proceeds
This is the cleanest path — especially if neither party wants to keep the house.
We buy homes as-is, even if you still live together or the home needs repairs.
2. One Person Keeps the House
One spouse can buy the other out, usually through refinancing.

3. Delay the Sale (But It Gets Messy)
This is rare — and risky. One person stays in the house temporarily, then sells later. But this creates tax, title, and mortgage risks — especially if one party stops paying.
🏚 What If the House Has Problems?
Many homes caught in divorce also have other issues:
We buy houses in any condition, handle legal paperwork, and coordinate with both parties — even if you’re not on speaking terms.

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.
