“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a house might seem like a gift—but if it’s outdated, full of stuff, or sitting across the state (or country), it can quickly feel like a burden.
If you recently inherited a property in Washington and you’re thinking, “I don’t want this house—now what?”—you’re not alone. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ve helped dozens of families who found themselves in the same spot.
Let’s talk about your options and how you can sell the property fast and headache-free.
Why People Don’t Want Their Inherited House
There’s no shame in admitting it—it’s incredibly common. Here are a few reasons people choose to sell:
- Too many repairs needed to make it livable
- Out-of-town owners who can’t manage the property
- Emotional pain tied to the home
- Disagreements among heirs
- Financial pressure from taxes, insurance, or upkeep
- It’s just not worth the time or money to keep it
If any of these sound like you, selling might be your best path forward.
Do You Have to Go Through Probate First?
Most inherited homes in Washington need to go through probate unless the property was held in a trust or passed by joint tenancy.
The good news? In many cases, you can still sell the house during probate if you’re the executor or have legal authority. We work with probate attorneys and local title companies to help you move quickly and stay compliant.

Real Story: From Inherited Headache to Clean Slate
We worked with a seller in Spokane’s Logan Neighborhood, who inherited a rental property after his father passed. The place was run-down, filled with old furniture, and had back taxes. He lived 4 hours away and had no interest in becoming a landlord.
He reached out to us, and within 24 hours we made a cash offer. We handled the probate paperwork, cleaned the place out, and closed on his timeline. He didn’t lift a finger, and he walked away with cash and peace of mind.
Can You Sell As-Is?
Yes. You don’t need to clean, renovate, or fix anything. Whether the house is full of junk, needs a new roof, or hasn’t been touched in 30 years, we’ll take care of it.
We’ve bought inherited homes with:
- Hoarder-level belongings
- Mold or water damage
- Broken HVAC or plumbing
- Code violations
- Outstanding liens or unpaid taxes
What If There Are Multiple Heirs?
That’s not a dealbreaker. Whether you’re dealing with siblings, cousins, or a group of heirs scattered across Washington—or the country—we can help coordinate signatures and communication.
We’ve even handled situations where heirs didn’t all agree at first. We stay patient and work toward a solution that respects everyone involved.

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.
