We buy the house and take it as it is
An inherited house can keep bringing mortgage, insurance, utility, property-tax, and upkeep bills while the estate is being handled. You can talk with us about the house as it stands; you do not have to assume what the family wants to do with it before calling.
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. We buy the house with its contents as they are, so you do not have to clean it out or arrange hauling before asking about a sale.

Who can sign
You can sell in the estate’s name once the estate is opened, but who may sign depends on the appointment and the property’s title. In Washington, the person appointed to manage the estate is called the personal representative. A representative with valid nonintervention powers may sell or transfer estate real property without a court order under RCW 11.68.090. If the representative does not have those powers, the general rule is that estate property may not be sold without a court order unless another law supplies an exception; see RCW 11.56.010. The representative’s role in possessing and managing estate property is described in RCW 11.48.020.
Washington real estate excise tax
Washington calls its transfer tax real estate excise tax, or REET. The Department of Revenue says the seller generally pays it; if the seller does not, 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, so the exact amount depends on the property location and transaction. The settlement agent confirms the current rate, any exemption, and the amount on the REET affidavit and settlement statement. See the Washington Department of Revenue REET guidance.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Washington real estate excise tax.
