Estimate what you could keep
Bellingham, WA illustrative estimate
Bellingham home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This is an estimate for local costs, not a verified local tax rate.
Selling a house in Washington
Can an inherited house be sold before probate is finished?
Often, but the person signing and the authority to sell matter. A personal representative with valid nonintervention powers may sell or transfer estate real property without a court order under Washington law. 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. Once we've seen the will and the court papers, we can talk through a closing date with you. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Sources: RCW 11.56.010 (court order required unless otherwise provided by law), RCW 11.68.090(1)(c), (h) (nonintervention personal representative’s authority to sell/transfer without court intervention), and RCW 11.48.020 (representative’s possession and management of estate property).

What if a mortgage foreclosure sale is scheduled?
Send us the notice and exact sale date immediately. Washington’s deed-of-trust statute uses a nonjudicial trustee’s sale; for a sale under that statute, the trustee generally must record and send the 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. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. Confirm any postponement in writing. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Sources: RCW 61.24.040 (nonjudicial deed-of-trust foreclosure notice and sale process); RCW 61.24.163 (limited foreclosure mediation program). Washington DFI foreclosure information: https://dfi.wa.gov/foreclosure . Official statutes: https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=61.24.040 ; https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=61.24.163 . The 90/120-day rule is specific to the statutory deed-of-trust process; the case documents and trustee’s written status control.
Can a house be sold with tenants still living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. The lease carries over to us, so you don't have to get anyone out first. Washington's sale-termination notice applies only to residential tenancies covered by the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act. For a sale of a single-family residence, 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. We'll go over your lease with you before anyone talks about move-out dates. If the home remains rented, landlord duties to comply with applicable housing codes continue while the tenancy is in effect.
Sources: RCW 59.18.650(2)(e) (sale-related termination ground; use the version effective until January 1, 2028 on this research date); RCW 59.18.060(1) (landlord’s code-compliance duties during tenancy).

Who pays Washington’s transfer tax or recording charge?
Washington calls its charge the real estate excise tax (REET). The Department of Revenue says REET 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, so the exact amount depends on the property’s location and transaction. The settlement agent will confirm the current rate, any exemption, and the amount on the REET affidavit and settlement statement. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Washington real estate excise tax.
Sources: RCW 82.45.010 (statutory definition of sale, including certain transfers and contracts); Washington DOR, “Real estate excise tax” (seller generally pays; buyer responsible if unpaid; state and local components; current rate resources): https://dor.wa.gov/taxes-rates/other-taxes/real-estate-excise-tax . DOR local rates effective May 1, 2026 are captured in `sources/legal/washington/wa-dor-reet-rates-may2026.xlsx`; the DOR page also lists a separate future rate table effective January 1, 2027, which is not used for this October 2026 draft. Exemptions are fact-specific; see the DOR’s guidance and WAC 458-61A before claiming one.
What happens to code violations or repair orders?
Please send every inspection report, repair order, citation, permit notice, and lien, including the issuing city or county and deadline. If the home is rented, Washington law requires the landlord to maintain it in substantial compliance with applicable codes during the tenancy. A sale does not itself clear a local order, fine, lien, occupancy restriction, or permit obligation. We will confirm the issuing authority’s requirements and title status. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Sources: RCW 59.18.060(1) (landlord’s duty to maintain applicable code compliance during tenancy), https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=59.18.060 . The result for a specific notice depends on the local issuing authority, order, and recorded title; no city or county was specified, so no local ordinance is cited as statewide law.
