“Sell a House With a Lien in Washington”
Got a lien on your property? Whether it’s from unpaid taxes, a contractor dispute, or a court judgment—you can still sell your house.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy houses with liens, judgments, or back taxes. We work with local title companies to get the lien resolved as part of the sale—so you can move on with cash in hand.
What Is a Lien?
A lien is a legal claim against your property used as collateral for a debt. Until it’s paid or resolved, it can complicate—or block—the sale of your home.
Common Spokane liens we deal with:
- Tax liens from unpaid property taxes
- Mechanic’s liens from contractors or subcontractors
- Judgment liens from unpaid debts or lawsuits
- HOA liens from missed dues
- Code enforcement liens from unresolved city violations
Real Spokane Story: Lien + Divorce = Major Stress
We recently helped a Spokane homeowner going through a divorce. They had a $22,000 contractor lien from unfinished kitchen remodel work—and neither spouse wanted to deal with it.
The house couldn’t be listed on the MLS without clearing the lien. We stepped in, made a full cash offer, negotiated the lien down through title, and closed in 10 days. They each walked away with money and peace of mind.
Can You Sell a House With a Lien in Washington?
Yes—but here’s the catch: most traditional buyers won’t touch it.
Real estate agents often tell you to clear the lien before listing. That means hiring attorneys, negotiating debt, and possibly paying thousands upfront—just to sell.
But when you sell to REI Branded Home Buyer:
✅ We handle the lien negotiation
✅ We pay cash—no bank delays
✅ You don’t have to lift a finger
✅ You close on your timeline
Here’s How It Works
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. | Contact us with your property address |
| 2. | We assess the lien details with our title partners |
| 3. | You receive a no-obligation cash offer |
| 4. | If accepted, we work behind the scenes to resolve the lien |
| 5. | We close in as little as 7–14 days |
Can You Walk Away With Money?
Yes! If your house has enough equity to cover the lien, you’ll still get paid at closing.
Even if the lien eats up most of the equity, it can still be worth it to:
- Avoid foreclosure
- Stop interest and penalties
- Eliminate debt stress
- Start fresh with a clean slate

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.
