Spokane has a lot of solid old houses that need more work than most retail buyers want to take on. Owners of an aging rental, an inherited house on the North Side or a place with a bad basement often choose a cash sale to skip the repair list.
Instead of calling buyer after buyer, send one request. Cash buyers who work in Spokane County compete for the house, and we match you with the one that fits your price and your timeline.

Common situations in Spokane County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Estates for Spokane houses are opened in the Spokane County Superior Court. A personal representative with nonintervention powers can usually sell the house without returning to court for approval.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Lenders in Spokane usually foreclose through a trustee's sale, which Washington requires to be preceded by a recorded notice of sale and a waiting period; selling before the auction pays the loan and ends it. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Spokane County Treasurer collects property taxes and forecloses on parcels left unpaid for years, selling them at a public tax auction.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Spokane's code enforcement office takes complaints about junk, overgrown lots and derelict or unsafe buildings, and can require the owner to fix or secure them.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Spokane landlords file evictions as unlawful detainer actions in the Spokane County Superior Court. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.
More on tired of being a landlord →No fees or commissions, no showings or repairs, and buyers never see your contact details until you choose one. How DealSherpa works.
Selling for cash in Spokane: questions
My Spokane house still has an old boiler and a damp basement. Will that kill a cash sale?
No. Cash buyers in Spokane see those all the time and plan to replace the heating system or waterproof the basement themselves. The offer will reflect the work, but you won't have to do it first.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Spokane?
Washington sales usually close through an escrow company, with a title company insuring the title; escrow pays off the loan, taxes and liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Spokane County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
