“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Inheriting a home in Wenatchee might sound like a blessing, but it often comes with a long list of responsibilities, headaches, and emotional decisions. If you’re not sure what to do with the property—keep it, rent it, fix it, or sell it—you’re not alone. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ve helped families all over Washington navigate the process of selling an inherited house quickly and stress-free.
Here’s what you need to know if you’ve inherited a home in Wenatchee and are considering selling.
Understanding What You’ve Inherited
Before deciding what to do, it’s important to understand what you’re really working with. Some inherited homes come with:
- A remaining mortgage
- Back taxes or liens
- Significant deferred maintenance
- Risk of vacancy issues (especially during Wenatchee winters)
If you’re unsure about the property’s value or tax status, check with the Chelan County Assessor’s Office for detailed property records.
Do You Need to Go Through Probate?
In Washington, most inherited homes must go through probate unless there are legal documents in place like a Transfer-on-Death deed or joint tenancy. Probate is the legal process that proves a will and transfers assets.
If you’re not sure whether probate applies, visit:
Keep in mind: Probate can take months. If you’re hoping to sell sooner, there may be alternative solutions.
Should You Keep It, Rent It, or Sell It?
Once probate is handled (or avoided), you’ll need to decide what to do next:
- Keep it: Great if it’s your forever home.
- Rent it: Could be passive income, but also a lot of work.
- Sell it: Fastest and simplest way to move on, especially if the house needs repairs.
🏡 Fast Fact: Many inherited properties in Wenatchee are decades old and need updates. Selling as-is might save you tens of thousands in renovation costs.
What If the Property Has Code Violations or Needs Repairs?
Inherited homes often have deferred maintenance—leaky roofs, cracked foundations, outdated electrical, or overgrown yards. Some may even have unresolved code violations.

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.
