“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a home can be a mixed blessing. On one hand, it’s a valuable asset. On the other, it often comes with unexpected costs, emotional baggage, or complex legal processes like probate. If you’ve recently inherited a property in Washington and are unsure what to do with it, you’re not alone.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in helping families across Washington sell inherited properties quickly—without agents, repairs, or months of waiting.
Common Reasons People Sell Inherited Houses
We’ve worked with dozens of Washington homeowners who inherited properties and chose to sell due to:
- Ongoing maintenance costs or repairs
- Living out of state or far from the property
- Unwanted landlord responsibilities
- Probate complications or multiple heirs
- Emotional difficulty keeping the house
- Needing to sell fast to split the inheritance
Whatever your reason, we’re here to help you make the process smooth and stress-free.
Do You Need to Go Through Probate?
If the house was in the name of the deceased and not held in a trust or jointly with a right of survivorship, the property will likely go through probate in Washington. This legal process can take weeks to months.
Good news: You can often still sell the house while it’s in probate, especially if you’re the executor or personal representative.
If you’re not sure where your case stands, we’re happy to point you in the right direction or recommend local probate attorneys.
What If the House Needs Repairs?
Inherited homes are often older and in need of updates. We’ve purchased properties with:
- Roof damage
- Foundation problems
- Junk and personal belongings left behind
- Deferred maintenance from aging owners
You don’t have to fix anything. We buy homes as-is, so you can leave what you don’t want and walk away without lifting a finger.
Real Spokane Story: Inherited Home With Liens
A woman in Spokane contacted us after inheriting her mother’s house in the Logan Neighborhood. The property had years of unpaid taxes and needed over $30,000 in repairs. She lived out of state and didn’t want to deal with the stress.
We worked with the county to settle the liens, bought the house as-is, and helped her navigate the probate paperwork. She walked away with cash—and peace of mind.
What Are Your Options?
Here are your main options for selling an inherited home in Washington:
- List with a real estate agent – Takes time, often requires repairs and clean-up.
- Keep it as a rental – Might work if you live nearby and want landlord responsibilities.
- Sell to a cash buyer (like us) – Fast, simple, and no cleanup or agent fees.

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.
