Why Kent sellers come to us
Situations we know well.
Every home and every seller is different. Here are the situations we see most often in King County.
Inherited a Kent home
Many Kent homes pass to out-of-area heirs. We work with estates through King County probate and buy as-is — no cleanout or repairs.
Older home needing work
A dated or damaged home can struggle against updated listings. We buy as-is.
Relocating
South King draws movers seeking value near Seattle jobs. Close on your timeline and sell remotely if you've left.
Tired landlord
Kent has a deep rental market. Sell a tenant-occupied property as-is.
Divorce or life change
A fast, low-conflict sale with one decision point and a chosen close date.
Facing foreclosure
Selling before the trustee's sale can protect your equity. We can often close quickly.

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.

Real questions from Kent sellers.
How much will I get for my Kent home through Bisonkey?
Kent is a more affordable South King County market, with a median around $635,000 as of Q1 2026. Cash investor offers typically run 70-85% of after-repair value, minus repairs. You trade some price for a fast, as-is, no-fee close.
Why sell to a cash buyer in Kent?
A cash sale fits homes needing major work, inherited or tenant-occupied properties, foreclosure situations, or when you want speed, certainty, and no showings or repairs.
How fast can I close in Kent?
As little as 7 days, with 14-21 days more typical after title work. Washington sales involve the state excise tax (REET), calculated at closing.
Will I pay commission or fees?
No commission and no Bisonkey fees. The investor-buyer typically covers standard closing costs. Washington's real estate excise tax still applies to any sale.
My Kent home needs work — can you still help?
Yes. Investor-buyers in our network buy as-is, including homes with deferred maintenance — no repairs required.
How is this different from listing with a realtor?
A listing means commission, possible repairs, showings, and Washington's excise tax. Bisonkey trades some price for a guaranteed, fast, as-is close.
Why Bisonkey over a "we buy houses" site?
National sites are usually a single out-of-state investor. Bisonkey connects you with a vetted local buyer who knows Kent, the East and West Hills, and South King County values.
