“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a House in Washington? Here’s What Comes Next
Receiving a home from a loved one can be both a blessing and a burden. If you’re suddenly responsible for a property you don’t want to live in — or can’t afford — you may be wondering: “How do I sell this house?”
In Washington State, selling an inherited home involves probate, title transfer, and sometimes taxes. But with the right steps (and the right buyer), it can be simple and stress-free.
We help homeowners across Washington sell inherited houses quickly — often without making a single repair.
🏛️ Step 1: Understand Probate in Washington
Most inherited homes must go through probate — the legal process where a court confirms the will and transfers property to heirs.
If your loved one had a will and named you as the heir, the probate court (in counties like Spokane, Snohomish, or King County) will likely approve the property transfer to you.
💡 If the property was in a trust or jointly owned with rights of survivorship, you may be able to skip probate.
📜 Step 2: Legally Transfer the Title
Once probate is complete (or avoided), you’ll need to transfer title into your name. This may involve:
- A quitclaim deed
- Form 17: Seller Disclosure (in most cases)
- A transfer of title process recorded at your county assessor’s office
Once that’s done, you’re legally allowed to sell.
💰 Step 3: Know the Financial Impacts
Inherited homes come with unique financial considerations:
- You may be responsible for property taxes (check your county site like Chelan or Yakima)
- You could face capital gains taxes if the home’s value increased (though Washington has no state inheritance tax for most estates)
- Maintenance, insurance, and liens are now on your shoulders
Need help sorting it out? We can connect you with a local real estate attorney or title company.
🧱 Step 4: Sell As-Is (No Repairs or Clean-Up Required)
If you don’t want to spend weeks cleaning, repairing, or listing the property, you can sell it directly to a local investor like Rebranded Home Buyer.
We’ll buy it:
- As-is — no repairs, cleaning, or junk removal
- With or without probate complete
- Fast — often in less than 14 days
- In any city in Washington, including Everett, Tacoma, and Spokane Valley

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.
