Selling a Family or Inherited Home in Southwest Washington?

How one Ridgefield family did it
A Ridgefield, WA family — five adult children and their mom — inherited a home facing foreclosure since 2020, tangled in bankruptcy paperwork, with a lien from 2008 nobody recognized. Most of the siblings lived out of town and didn't want to put money or work into the property, so we sold it as-is. We priced it by taking the fully-remodeled value, subtracting the $150,000 to $200,000 a remodel would have cost, and listing at that number. Listed at $1,295,000 — two cash offers in two weeks — closed at approximately $1.2 million, preserving nearly $200,000 in equity for the family. And when the buyers decided they didn't want the beehives left on the property, the local beekeeping community stepped in and relocated the bees safely.
