Sell Your House Fast in Kennewick, WA — Cash Offer in 24 Hours

You can sell in the estate’s name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. In Washington, a personal representative with valid nonintervention powers may sell estate real property without a court order. Without those powers, a court order is generally needed unless another law provides an exception. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one. The Benton & Franklin Counties Superior Court has a Benton County location in Kennewick.

For a trustee’s sale under Washington’s deed-of-trust statute, the trustee generally must record and send notice at least 90 days before sale, or 120 days when the specified pre-foreclosure letter is required. A court-ordered foreclosure follows its own docket and orders.

Selling the house does not end the lease. For a sale of a single-family residence covered by Washington’s Residential Landlord-Tenant Act, the landlord must give at least 90 days’ advance written notice and make a genuine effort to sell after the tenant vacates; statutory conditions and exceptions apply. You don’t need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we’ve done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.

Washington calls the charge real estate excise tax (REET). It generally is paid by the seller; if the seller does not pay, the buyer is responsible, and unpaid tax can become a lien on the property. The state portion is graduated by taxable selling price and classification, and local REET is added. The settlement agent confirms the current rate, any exemption, and the amount on the REET affidavit and settlement statement. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Washington real estate excise tax.

Kennewick Code Enforcement handles nuisance, substandard or unfit structures, and vacant-structure concerns. If a notice has a deadline, it still matters before closing; we can look at it with you. When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
