Why Ellensburg sellers come to us
Situations we know well.
Every home and every seller is different. Here are the situations we see most often in Kittitas County.
CWU rental exit
Central Washington University student-rental landlords often want out. Sell tenant-occupied or vacant, as-is.
Horse / acreage property
The Kittitas Valley is horse and farm country. We buy ranchettes, acreage, and homes on land.
Inherited property
We work with estates through Kittitas County probate.
Relocating over the pass
Moving to the Seattle side or elsewhere? Close before your move date.
Older home needing work
Historic downtown homes needing updates — we buy as-is.
Tired landlord
Rental burnout in a college town is real. Sell occupied, fast.
Washington specifics
What to know about selling in Washington.
Seller disclosure
Washington requires sellers to complete Form 17 (Seller Disclosure Statement) in most residential sales. Investor-buyers in our network purchase as-is and are familiar with Form 17 requirements.
Transfer tax
Washington charges a Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) on sales, paid by the seller, on a graduated scale. Your investor-buyer and title company will calculate this as part of your net offer.
Property taxes
Washington has no state income tax, but property taxes vary widely by county. King County and the Seattle metro carry some of the highest assessments in the state.
Closing timeline
Conventional Washington sales typically close in 30-45 days. Investor cash purchases through Bisonkey close in 7-21 days.
Special considerations
Older Seattle-area homes may have oil tanks, knob-and-tube wiring, or seismic considerations. Investor-buyers in our network buy these as-is, no remediation required from you.

FAQs
Real questions from Ellensburg sellers.
How much will I get for my Ellensburg home through Bisonkey?
Cash investor offers typically run 70-85% of after-repair market value. With the median around $445,000, a typical offer ranges from roughly $310k to $378k for a home in fair condition. Horse properties and acreage are valued individually.
Can I sell my CWU student rental as-is?
Yes. College-town rentals near Central Washington University are exactly what our local buyer looks for. Sell tenant-occupied, no need to wait for lease end.
Do you buy horse properties and acreage?
Yes. The Kittitas Valley is full of horse properties and small farms. We buy ranchettes, acreage, and homes on land, not just in-town houses.
How fast can I close in Ellensburg?
As little as 7 days through a local title company, most in 14-21 days. Later dates available.
Will I pay commission or fees?
No commission, no Bisonkey fees. The investor-buyer typically covers standard closing costs, and in Washington will calculate the state excise tax (REET) as part of your net offer. You keep the net amount.
How is this different from listing with an Ellensburg realtor?
A traditional listing means roughly 70 days on market plus 30-45 days to close, plus 5-6% commission and prep costs. Bisonkey trades some price for speed and certainty.
Why Bisonkey over a "we buy houses" site?
Those are usually one out-of-area investor. Bisonkey works with one vetted local buyer based right here in the Kittitas Valley who knows Ellensburg comps and neighborhoods.
