WHO WE HELP

Seattle Homeowners: Every Neighborhood, Every Situation, One Simple Process

If you need to sell your Seattle house fast, we make a written cash offer within 24 hours – properties in every Seattle neighborhood, from the established Craftsman blocks of Wallingford and Ballard to the mid-century stock of Rainier Valley and the condos of Capitol Hill and South Lake Union. Seattle’s housing market is one of the most complex in the country: strict tenant protections under the Seattle Just Cause Eviction Ordinance, SDCI permit requirements for in-law units and additions, a graduated Real Estate Excise Tax that affects sellers in the upper price bands, and a probate process that runs through King County Superior Court. When longtime owners, heirs, or landlords are ready to sell and don’t want the listing-inspection-repair cycle, we buy as-is for cash, on your timeline. No staging, no repairs, no open houses.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

What Seattle Sellers Need to Know: Just Cause Eviction, SDCI Permits, REET, and King County Probate

Seattle sellers face several layers of requirements. Washington’s Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) is graduated – sellers pay 1.1% up to $525K, 1.28% up to $1.525M, 2.75% up to $3.025M. Form 17 (Seller Disclosure Statement) is required regardless of sale type – we help complete it. The Seattle Just Cause Eviction Ordinance means tenanted properties cannot be cleared without legal cause and required notice periods; we buy occupied rentals as-is. Unpermitted additions and ADUs require disclosure on Form 17 but do not prevent a cash sale. King County probate closes through the Superior Court in Seattle. Pre-1978 properties require lead paint disclosure. We account for all Seattle-specific rules, permit history, and property conditions at the time of offer.

The best . Thank you!!

I own a rental in Rainier Valley. My tenant has been there for 6 years on month-to-month. Does Seattle's Just Cause Ordinance make it hard to sell? +

No. We buy tenanted properties as-is – we take over the tenancy at close. You don’t need to give notice, file for eviction, or wait for the lease to expire. We handle the landlord change after close.

My father's Seattle home has an unpermitted basement ADU he added in the 1990s. Does that need to be permitted before you can buy? +

No. We buy as-is including unpermitted ADUs. We disclose the condition on Form 17 and account for it in our offer. Nothing needs to be remediated before close.

The estate is in King County probate. The house is in Ballard and hasn't been updated since 1974. How long does the process take? +

We make a written offer during probate that the executor presents for court confirmation. King County Superior Court typically confirms within 4 to 6 weeks of offer acceptance. We work around the court’s schedule.

The REET on my Seattle home is going to be substantial. Does that affect your offer or process? +

REET is paid by the seller and is a standard Washington transaction cost – we discuss it upfront so there are no surprises at close. It doesn’t change our process.

How fast can I sell my house in Seattle? +

We can close in as little as 7 days in Seattle. Once you accept our written cash offer, we handle all title and paperwork – you pick the closing date.

Do I need to make repairs before selling? +

No. We buy as-is – any condition, any age, any amount of deferred maintenance. Nothing needs to be fixed, cleaned, or updated before we close.

Are there commissions or fees? +

None. No agent commissions, no fees charged to you, no deductions at close. The number in your offer is what you receive.
