How to Sell a House During a Divorce in Washington

Selling a House During a Divorce in Washington

“Work With Pros Who Care”

Divorce is never easy, and when real estate is involved, things can get complicated—fast. If you’re going through a divorce and need to sell a house in Washington, the emotional and financial stress can pile up quickly.

But you’re not alone, and you do have options. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in helping people in your shoes move forward faster—with less conflict and fewer headaches.

Here’s what you need to know.


Step 1: Know If You Both Agree to Sell

The very first step is making sure both parties are on the same page. In Washington, both spouses usually need to agree to the sale unless a judge orders otherwise.

✅ If you both want to sell, great—you can move forward together
⚖️ If there’s conflict, the court might step in and require a sale or force mediation


Step 2: Decide How the Sale Proceeds Will Be Divided

Washington is a community property state, which means assets (like your home) are usually split 50/50—unless otherwise agreed in the divorce settlement.

You’ll need to:

  • Agree on a selling price or accept a cash offer
  • Decide how proceeds will be divided
  • Work with your divorce attorney to make sure the deal aligns with the legal agreement

We’ve worked with couples and attorneys all across Washington, including Spokane, Yakima, and Tacoma, to get deals done smoothly.


Step 3: Skip the Stress—Sell As-Is, for Cash

One of the hardest parts about selling during a divorce? The timeline. One person may be moving out, another may want to keep the house, or maybe neither of you wants to deal with agents, showings, or waiting months to close.

That’s where we come in.

At REI Branded Home Buyer, we make it simple:

  • Sell your house as-is (no repairs or cleaning)
  • Close in as little as 7 days
  • No agent commissions or fees
  • Private, low-stress process

Real Story: Divorce Sale in Spokane

We helped a couple in Spokane recently who had separated and needed to sell their shared home quickly. The house needed roof repairs, and they were behind on mortgage payments. Both were ready to move on but didn’t want to fight over every step.

We gave them a fair cash offer, coordinated with both attorneys, and closed in under two weeks. It allowed both parties to walk away clean and start fresh.


What If One Person Wants to Keep the House?

In some divorces, one spouse may want to buy out the other’s share of the home. This can work, but it depends on:

  • Their ability to refinance and qualify solo
  • The equity in the home
  • Agreement between both parties

If things break down, a cash sale to a third party (like us) can remove the tension and simplify everything.

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.
