“We Buy Structurally Damaged Houses All Over Washington”
If you’re dealing with cracks in the walls, sloping floors, or stuck doors, your house may have foundation problems — and that can scare off most buyers fast.
The good news?
Yes, you can sell a house with foundation issues in Washington. And no, you don’t have to fix it first or spend a dime out of pocket.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy houses across Washington in any condition, including homes with structural damage. Whether it’s a cracked slab, failing crawl space, or an aging pier-and-post setup, we’ll give you a fair cash offer and handle the heavy lifting.
🧱 What Counts as a Foundation Problem?
Not all damage is obvious, but here are some of the most common signs we see:
- Cracks in drywall or brickwork
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Doors and windows that stick
- Gaps around window frames
- Water intrusion in the basement or crawlspace
- Visible settling or sagging
Many homes in Eastern and Western Washington sit on older foundations — and between the wet climate and shifting soils, problems are common.
💰 Why Foundation Issues Scare Off Traditional Buyers
Buyers and lenders both worry about foundation issues. Here’s why:
- Inspection failure: Most inspectors will flag foundation damage as a serious issue.
- Loan risk: Banks won’t finance homes with major structural concerns.
- Repair costs: Fixes can range from a few thousand to $40,000+.
- Perception: Buyers picture the whole house collapsing (even if it’s minor).
🛠 What It Costs to Repair a Foundation in Washington
| Type of Repair | Average Cost |
|---|---|
| Crack sealing | $500–$2,000 |
| Leveling or slab jacking | $3,000–$10,000 |
| Underpinning or pier repair | $8,000–$30,000+ |
| Full replacement | $20,000–$60,000+ |
Unless you’re ready to write a big check, your best bet is to sell as-is.
🧾 Washington Seller Disclosures
Washington state requires sellers to complete a Form 17 Seller Disclosure, which includes foundation or structural issues. Even if the house looks fine on the outside, if you’re aware of damage or repairs, you have to disclose it.
That’s why many sellers turn to a trusted as-is home buyer — to simplify the process and avoid liability down the road.
🏡 Spokane Story: Selling a House With a Failing Crawlspace
We helped a seller in Spokane who had a 1960s home with a rotting wood foundation and major crawlspace moisture issues. Contractors quoted $35,000 to stabilize it.
They didn’t have the time or money — so they called us. We made an as-is cash offer and closed in 10 days. No repairs, no agents, and no stress.

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.
