"Logan and his team made selling my house so much easier than I expected. They came out, looked at the place, gave me a fair offer, and we closed in two weeks. No hassle, no pressure. Just good people doing what they said they'd do."

Direct Answer
The short version
If the deceased owner is still on title, a Spokane house usually cannot be sold with insurable title until a personal representative or other legally authorized person can sign the deed. Dominion Homes can make an offer, but title controls what must be cleared before closing.
Why sellers call us
We are used to deals where the first contract is only part of the work. If title needs probate documents, heir consents, or a corrected seller signature, we work through that instead of pretending it does not matter.
Offer Math
How We Calculate Cash Offers In Spokane & CDA
A cash offer is based on the house, repairs, costs, timing, and how quickly you want to close.
Repair and cleanup scope
Roof, systems, flooring, cleanup, tenants, and old repairs all affect the offer.
Holding and resale costs
Taxes, utilities, insurance, closing costs, and resale risk are part of the math.
Your timeline
A fast as-is sale can mean fewer delays, no showings, and a clearer closing date.
Protect Yourself
How To Verify Any Cash Buyer
You should be able to slow down, check the details, and compare options. A legitimate buyer will not make that hard.
Ask who is actually buying the property.
Use a real title or escrow company.
Ask for written terms, deadlines, and any cancellation rights.
Do not pay upfront fees or sign under pressure.
The taxpayer may not be the legal owner
County tax records may list a family member as the taxpayer or mailing contact. That does not automatically give them authority to sell. The recorded deed and the probate/title documents matter more.
What the title company may need
Title may ask for a death certificate, will, letters testamentary or letters of administration, heir information, court orders, or other documents before it will insure the buyer's ownership.
Why a cash buyer can still help
A direct buyer can give the family a number while the paperwork is being sorted out. That can help everyone decide whether opening probate, clearing taxes, and cleaning out the house is worth it.
How It Works
A common probate sale path
1
Confirm who owns the house
Check the last recorded deed to see who legally owns the property.
2
Ask title for requirements
The title company tells the family what authority is needed before a deed can be insured.
3
Close after authority is clear
Once the proper person can sign, closing can handle taxes, liens, and proceeds through escrow.
Questions Sellers Ask
A few straight answers
Can an heir sell a Spokane house before probate is open?
Sometimes there are non-probate transfers, but if the deceased owner is still on title, title will usually need a legally authorized signer before closing.
Does being listed as taxpayer mean someone owns the house?
No. It usually means the county sends tax bills or notices to that person. Ownership and signing authority come from deed records and probate or other transfer documents.
Can back taxes be paid at closing?
Often yes. Delinquent property taxes are commonly paid from sale proceeds through closing, but the right seller still has to be authorized first.
Can Dominion Homes buy a probate house as-is?
Yes, if title can be cleared. We can make an as-is offer and give the family time to work through title or probate requirements.
