“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a home can be a gift, a burden—or a little bit of both. Whether it’s filled with memories, maintenance issues, or mortgage debt, navigating the sale of an inherited house in Washington can feel overwhelming. If you’re unsure what steps to take, you’re not alone.
We’ve worked with many Washington homeowners dealing with inheritance situations, and we’re here to break it all down.
What Happens When You Inherit a House in Washington?
First, you’ll need to determine how the home is titled and whether it needs to go through probate, a legal process used to settle a deceased person’s estate. In Washington, if the property wasn’t placed in a trust or passed through joint tenancy, probate is likely required before you can legally sell.
If probate is already complete—or if you’re listed as a direct beneficiary, you may be able to move forward more quickly.

Common Challenges Inherited Properties Come With
Inherited homes often come with more than just keys. You might also be dealing with:
- Deferred maintenance and costly repairs
- Multiple heirs with different goals
- Outstanding mortgage payments
- Back taxes or liens
- Emotional attachment or family conflict
Trying to coordinate repairs, cleanouts, and a traditional sale can drag on for months. That’s why many sellers choose to skip the hassle and sell the home as-is.

Real Story From Spokane
A recent seller inherited a home in South Hill after her aunt passed away. She lived out of state and didn’t want to manage cleaning, repairs, or listing. She was emotionally overwhelmed and didn’t want to deal with family members who all had different opinions on what to do.
We stepped in, gave her a fair offer, and closed in under two weeks. She never had to fly back to Spokane—we handled everything remotely.

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.
