“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a home in Spokane can be a blessing—or a burden—depending on the situation. Maybe you’ve inherited a house that’s in great shape… or maybe it’s a fixer-upper that’s been sitting vacant for years. Either way, you’re likely asking the same question: “What do I do with this house?”
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help Spokane families sell inherited properties quickly, fairly, and with as little stress as possible.
Here’s what you need to know.
First Step: Has the Property Gone Through Probate?
Before you can sell the home, you need to understand whether the property is legally ready for sale. Most inherited homes must go through probate—the legal process of transferring ownership from the deceased to their heirs.
Quick Facts About Probate in Spokane:
- It’s usually required unless the property was in a trust or had a transfer-on-death deed.
- It can take 4 to 6 months, or longer if contested.
- You’ll need to work with the Spokane County Superior Court system.
If the probate process is already complete—or if the home was left to you in a trust—you may be able to sell it right away.
If it’s still in probate, don’t panic. We can still make you a cash offer and work with your attorney or estate representative to time the closing appropriately.
Do You Have to Repair the House Before Selling?
Not at all.
Many inherited homes are older and may need:
- Roof or plumbing repairs
- Updated electrical systems
- Mold or asbestos remediation
- Junk removal or cleaning
If that sounds like a lot, don’t worry—we buy houses as-is in Spokane. No need to fix anything, clean it out, or even mow the lawn.
Real Story: Inheriting a Spokane House Full of Stuff
One client inherited a house in the Logan Neighborhood. It was full of old furniture, outdated appliances, and decades of personal items. The idea of sorting through it all while managing probate felt impossible.
We made a fair cash offer within 24 hours. They didn’t lift a finger—we handled the cleanout, the closing paperwork, and paid for everything. They walked away with cash and zero hassle.
What Are Your Options With an Inherited Property?
1. Keep It
You could turn the house into a rental or move into it yourself. But ask yourself—do you really want to take on that responsibility?
2. Fix and List It
You could update the home and list it with a real estate agent. But this takes time, money, and coordination—not ideal if you’re out of town or just want to move on.
3. Sell It As-Is for Cash
That’s where we come in. We’ll give you a fair cash offer and handle everything from cleanup to closing.

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.
