Why Seattle 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 long-held Seattle home
Many Seattle homes were owned for decades and pass to heirs who live elsewhere. We work with estates through King County probate and buy as-is — no cleanout or repairs.
Older home needing major work
A dated or damaged home can be hard to sell traditionally in a market of updated listings. We buy as-is.
Relocating out of the area
Job moves out of Seattle are common. Close on your timeline and sell remotely if you've already left.
Tired landlord
Seattle's landlord regulations are complex. Sell a tenant-occupied property as-is and be done with it.
Divorce or life change
A fast, low-conflict sale with one decision point and a chosen close date.
Facing foreclosure
With significant equity at stake in a high-value market, selling before the trustee's sale can protect it. 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 Seattle sellers.
How much will I get for my Seattle home through Bisonkey?
Seattle is a high-value market with a median around $865,000 as of Q1 2026. Cash investor offers typically run 70-85% of after-repair value, minus repairs — and in a high-value market the dollar figures are correspondingly larger. You trade some price for a fast, as-is, no-fee close and no showings.
Why would I sell to a cash buyer in a hot market like Seattle?
Even in a strong market, a cash sale makes sense for homes that need major work (which can be hard to sell against updated listings), inherited or tenant-occupied properties, foreclosure situations, or when you simply want speed, certainty, and no showings or repairs.
How fast can I close in Seattle?
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, and on higher-value Seattle homes the graduated REET can be significant.
My Seattle home needs a lot of work — can you still help?
Yes. Homes needing major repairs can struggle on the retail market. Investor-buyers in our network buy as-is, no repairs or updates required.
How is this different from listing with a realtor?
A listing means commission (often substantial on a high-value home), 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 Seattle neighborhoods and King County values.
