“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Divorce is never easy. On top of the emotional weight, there’s the question of what to do with the house. Who gets it? Should you sell it? And how do you make the process less stressful?
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ve helped many couples in Washington navigate the sale of a home during divorce—quickly, fairly, and without the usual drama.
Let’s walk through how to sell a house during divorce in Washington and what options you have.
Do You Have to Sell the House During a Divorce?
Not always. Some couples agree that one spouse will keep the house while the other takes other assets. But that’s not always possible—especially when:
- Neither party can afford the mortgage alone
- You need to divide the equity
- The house holds painful memories
- You want a clean break
If you both agree it’s time to sell, the next question is: how?
Options for Selling a House During Divorce in Washington
You generally have three options:
1. Sell the House on the Market
List with a real estate agent and go through traditional showings, open houses, inspections, and buyer financing. This can take 60–90+ days, and you’ll still need to agree on repairs, price, and timing.
2. One Spouse Buys Out the Other
This works if one party wants to stay and has the means to refinance and pay out the other spouse’s share of equity.
3. Sell the House for Cash (Fast & Simple)
If time, privacy, and simplicity are important, selling for cash might be your best option. We buy homes as-is, with no repairs, cleaning, or agents. And we can close fast, even if you’re still in the divorce process.
How Does Equity Get Divided?
Washington is a community property state. That usually means the house (and any increase in value during the marriage) gets split 50/50 unless a court decides otherwise.
Selling the house and dividing the profits can be the cleanest route—especially when neither spouse wants the home long-term.
Real Story: Helping a Spokane Couple Move Forward
We recently worked with a couple in South Hill who were going through a tough divorce. The home was in good condition, but they didn’t want to list it publicly.
They called us for a cash offer. Within 24 hours, we presented them with a fair price. We gave them the flexibility to each sign documents separately, avoid awkward meetups, and split the proceeds fairly. They walked away with peace of mind and a fresh start.

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.
