” We Buy Houses With Code Violations in Spokane”
Trying to sell a house in Spokane with code violations? You’re not alone. Whether it’s unpermitted work, broken windows, junk in the yard, or something more serious — these violations can stop a home sale dead in its tracks.
The good news? At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy houses as-is, even with multiple code violations. No repairs, no stress, and no waiting around for city inspections.
🚫 What Counts as a Code Violation in Spokane?
In Spokane, the city enforces building, zoning, sanitation, and safety codes. Common violations we see include:
- Electrical or plumbing work done without a permit
- Trash, debris, or hoarding inside or outside the house
- Overgrown weeds or junk vehicles
- Unsafe structures or fire hazards
- Mold, leaks, or water damage
- Missing smoke detectors or exposed wiring
- Inoperable HVAC systems
- Roof or foundation damage
Many of these violations fall under Spokane County’s Building Codes and Ordinances, Zoning Laws, and Health and Sanitation Standards.
🧾 How Code Violations Impact Your Home Sale
Code violations can:
- Decrease buyer interest — especially for traditional buyers needing financing
- Delay closings due to failed inspections
- Lower your home’s value
- Trigger fines or enforcement actions if unresolved
- Force you to disclose issues on the seller’s disclosure form (Form 17)
And if you’re working with a real estate agent, they’ll likely advise fixing the violations before listing. But that costs time and money — something not every seller has.
🔥 Real Story From Spokane: Basement Fire Leads to Violations
We worked with a homeowner in Spokane who had an electrical fire in their basement. It was put out quickly, but the smoke damage, exposed wires, and lack of proper permits triggered multiple violations from the city. They were overwhelmed, couldn’t afford repairs, and needed out fast.
We bought the house as-is within a week and helped them move on without lifting a finger.

⚠️ Should You Fix Code Violations Before Selling?
Let’s be honest: fixing code violations isn’t easy. You may need:
- Permits and inspections
- Licensed contractors
- City re-inspections
- Time and cash you may not have
And even if you do fix them, buyers may still walk away because of the property’s history.
That’s why many homeowners in Spokane choose to sell as-is to a professional cash home buyer.

About REI Branded Home Buyer
Real People. Real Stories. Real Solutions. We’re George and TJ — two regular guys who teamed up to create REI Branded Home Buyer, a local company with one simple mission: to help people sell their homes without stress, games, or pressure. We actually met at a local real estate meetup. A mutual friend randomly shouted, “Hey George, do you want to be this guy’s mentor?” George laughed and said, “Just give him my cell!” A coffee meeting later, and the rest is history. We've been working together ever since. Our passion for helping homeowners comes from personal experience. George was once homeless, so he deeply understands what it’s like to face housing uncertainty. TJ’s family went through a crisis and had to sell their home fast — with the help of a cash homebuyer. Those experiences shaped who we are and inspired us to create a company that treats people the way we wish we’d been treated. Let’s be real: the real estate world is full of shady companies, pushy salespeople, and sleazy homebuyers who care more about profit than people. We started REI Branded Home Buyer because we believe it should be the other way around — people first, profit second. We’re proud to call Spokane home. Our wives, Jenny and Michelle, love the slower pace of life here and all the outdoor beauty Washington has to offer. George and Jenny have two amazing daughters and two dogs — they love to travel and recently visited Japan to see their daughter abroad. TJ and Michelle are outdoor lovers through and through — backpacking, hiking, hunting, fishing, even rock climbing. Michelle’s become quite the mountaineer! If you’re thinking about selling a house — no matter the reason — we’d love to hear your story and see how we can help.
