“We Buy Inherited Homes”
Inheriting a house sounds like a blessing—but for many Spokane families, it can feel more like a burden.
Maybe the home needs thousands in repairs. Maybe it’s stuck in probate. Or maybe you and your siblings can’t agree on what to do next.
If that sounds like you, you’re not alone—and you do have options. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in helping people sell inherited homes fast, for cash, and without hassle.
Why Inherited Homes Can Be So Stressful
Here’s what often comes up when we help Spokane sellers:
- The house is in poor condition and needs $20k–$100k+ in repairs
- Multiple heirs are involved and don’t agree
- The property is still in probate
- There’s a mortgage, tax lien, or code violation
- The home is vacant, attracting break-ins or squatters
- You live out of town and don’t want to manage a sale remotely
Real Spokane Story: Inheritance Meets Probate Headache
One client in the Logan Neighborhood inherited her aunt’s house. It had sat empty for two years and was still tied up in probate. The roof leaked, the pipes had frozen, and she was stuck paying taxes on a house she couldn’t even sell yet.
We worked with her attorney and the probate court, got title cleared, and closed within 2 weeks of probate approval. She was stunned—and relieved.
Do You Have to Wait for Probate to Sell?
Not always. In Washington, if you’re the personal representative (executor), you might be able to sell the home during probate, depending on the court’s approval and the type of authority granted.
Even if you’re still waiting, we can often start the process now and close as soon as it’s legally allowed.
Pros and Cons of Selling an Inherited House
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Keep It & Rent It | Long-term income | Management stress, repairs, tenant risk |
| Fix & Flip It | Higher price if done right | Time, money, and project headaches |
| List With an Agent | Market value pricing | Commissions, clean-up, showings, delays |
| Sell As-Is for Cash | Fast, simple, no out-of-pocket costs | Lower price but zero hassle |

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.
