“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a house can bring a mix of emotions. Sometimes it’s a gift. Other times, it’s a financial or legal headache—especially when there are repairs, mortgage debt, or multiple heirs involved.
If you’ve inherited a home in Washington and aren’t sure what to do next, you’re not alone. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help people just like you sell inherited homes quickly and without stress.
Let’s break down your options and how to sell an inherited property—even if it’s still in probate.
Can You Sell an Inherited House in Washington?
Yes, but the process depends on the legal status of the estate:
- If probate is still open, you’ll need court approval (unless there’s a trust or joint ownership).
- If probate is complete or the property was held in a revocable living trust, you can usually sell right away.
Tip: Not sure if you’re in probate? Check with the estate’s attorney or the local probate court in your county.
Common Challenges When Selling an Inherited House
Inherited homes often come with unexpected problems:
- Deferred maintenance or major repairs
- Back taxes or unpaid mortgage
- Multiple heirs who don’t agree
- Probate delays
- Emotional attachment

Real Story: Helping a Family in Spokane Move On
We recently helped three siblings who inherited a home in Hillyard after their father passed. The home had roof issues, plumbing damage, and over 20 years of clutter.
The siblings lived in different cities and didn’t want to manage clean-up, repairs, or agents. We offered a cash price within 24 hours, helped coordinate probate paperwork, and closed in just 10 days—splitting the proceeds evenly among the heirs.
They were able to move forward without the stress of court delays, repairs, or family disagreements.

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.
