Selling a house in Washington: the rules that matter
Who runs the closing
Washington sales close through escrow companies; cash escrows commonly run about two weeks.
Seller taxes and fees
Washington’s real estate excise tax (REET) is a graduated, seller-paid tax starting at 1.1% — one of the more significant seller-side transfer taxes in the country. We account for it in the net-proceeds math up front.
The foreclosure clock
Washington is a non-judicial trustee-sale state — after a notice of trustee sale, the auction can be held in roughly 120 days, with mandated mediation options for homeowners along the way.
