“Work With Pros Who Care”
Inheriting a house can feel like a blessing… or a burden. Whether the home came with fond memories or costly problems, many Washington heirs end up asking the same question:
“Can I sell this inherited house—and how fast can I do it?”
The good news is: yes, you can sell it—and you don’t have to fix it up or deal with the mess on your own. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying inherited homes across Washington, from Spokane to Tacoma, Wenatchee, and beyond.
Step 1: Determine Ownership Status
Before you can sell, make sure the title is in your name. If the property is still in the deceased person’s name, you’ll need to go through probate—a legal process that transfers ownership.
Washington state law requires probate if:
- The estate is over $100,000
- The property was solely in the deceased’s name
- No living trust was in place
Not sure if you need probate? Talk to a local probate attorney or call us—we can point you in the right direction.
Step 2: Decide What to Do With the House
You’ve got a few options:
- Keep it and move in
- Rent it out
- Sell it fast
Most of the people we help choose to sell because the home needs repairs, they don’t want to be landlords, or they live out of state.
Step 3: Avoid Common Headaches
Inherited properties can come with problems like:
- Deferred maintenance
- Back taxes or liens
- Outdated plumbing, roof, or wiring
- Conflicts between heirs
We’ve helped people sell properties in neighborhoods like Garland District, Logan, and Hillyard—many in poor condition with complex legal situations. We handle the messy stuff so you don’t have to.
Real Example: Inherited House in Spokane With Code Violations
Two siblings inherited a home in Spokane that had been sitting vacant for over 5 years. There were code violations, mold, and foundation issues. They had no desire to fix it up—and they didn’t live nearby.
We helped them navigate probate, cleared title issues, and closed in 10 days. They split the cash and moved on with 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.
