“What Makes REI Branded Home Buyer Different?”
If you’ve discovered there’s a lien on your Spokane property — whether it’s a tax lien, mechanic’s lien, child support lien, or something else — it can feel like a giant wrench in your plans to sell.
But here’s the truth:
✅ Yes, you can sell a house with a lien in Spokane.
It just takes the right approach — and sometimes the right buyer.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ve helped homeowners across Spokane sell homes with liens fast, fairly, and without judgment. Let’s break down how it works.
What Is a Lien on a Property?
A lien is a legal claim against a home for unpaid debts. Think of it as a red flag on the title.
Some common Spokane liens include:
- Property tax liens
- Mechanic’s or contractor liens
- Child support liens
- Medical/hospital liens
- HOA liens
- Judgment liens
Each lien means the title isn’t “clear” — and most traditional buyers won’t touch the property until it’s resolved.
Can I Sell My House With a Lien?
Short answer: Yes. But you have two main paths:
1. Pay Off the Lien Before Closing
You settle the debt yourself or use proceeds from the sale to do so. If your house has equity, this is common.
2. Sell As-Is to a Cash Buyer
This is what we specialize in. You sell the house as-is, lien and all. We handle the lien with our title company before or during closing. No upfront cost to you.
A Real Spokane Story: Selling With a Lien
We recently helped a homeowner in the Logan Neighborhood who inherited a home from their uncle — and with it, a $16,000 tax lien and a contractor lien for unfinished roofing work. They were overwhelmed and unsure if the house was even sellable.
We gave them a fair cash offer, worked with our title partners to handle the liens, and closed in under 14 days. No agents, no fees, no delays.
What Happens If You Don’t Resolve a Lien?
Leaving a lien unresolved can lead to:
- Foreclosure or notice of trustee sale
- Credit damage
- Legal action
- Cloud on title (what is a cloud on title?)
- Inability to refinance, sell, or transfer ownership

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.
