“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
What Is a Clear Title in Real Estate?
“Clear title” means a property is free from any legal claims, disputes, or liens that could interfere with its sale. In Washington, a clear title is required for most real estate transactions, ensuring buyers receive uncontested ownership.
A clear title has:
- No mortgage liens
- No tax liens
- No judgment liens
- No disputes over ownership
- Accurate and updated public records
Why Clear Title Matters When Selling in Washington
When you sell your home, the buyer’s lender or title company will conduct a title search to confirm that the title is:
✅ Free from errors
✅ Not clouded by legal issues
✅ Transferrable to the new owner
If any problems arise, the sale could be delayed or canceled until resolved.
Common Title Problems in Washington
Washington sellers often run into title challenges such as:
- Liens from contractors, medical bills, or unpaid taxes
- Probate delays if the property was inherited
- Errors in documentation or quitclaim deeds
- Divorce-related title disputes
- HOA liens or code violations
What If Your Title Has a Cloud or Lien?
If there’s a cloud on the title, your sale may fall through — unless you resolve the issue. That often means:
- Paying off the lien or requesting a lien release
- Fixing errors with county records or your deed
- Clearing probate with the help of an attorney

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.
