“The Fastest Way to Sell: Work With a Fixer-Upper Buyer Like Us”
Let’s face it — not every house is market-ready.
Some homes come with issues:
- Years of deferred maintenance
- Code violations
- Major repairs needed
- Hoarder conditions
- Problem tenants
- Legal or title issues
- Or just overwhelming emotional baggage
If you’re stuck with a property like this in Washington, listing with an agent can feel impossible — and holding onto it can get expensive fast.
So what’s the fastest way to sell a problem property?
Let us show you how REI Branded Home Buyer helps homeowners across the state sell without stress, cleanup, or delays.
🧨 What Makes a Property “Problematic”?
We define a “problem property” as any home that would be difficult to list or sell on the open market due to condition, location, legal status, or financial burden.
Here are some common signs your house may fall into that category:
Problem Type | Examples |
---|---|
Structural Issues | Foundation cracks, roof leaks, water intrusion |
Code Violations | Unpermitted work, fines from the city, failed inspections |
Hoarder Conditions | Trash, debris, animal waste, pest infestations |
Legal/Title Problems | Probate, liens, unclear ownership, divorce complications |
Rental Problems | Squatters, unpaid rent, property damage from tenants |
Emotional Weight | Inherited property, bad memories, tough life transitions |
If your house is causing you more headaches than hope, you are not alone — and yes, you can sell it.
🛑 Why Listing With an Agent Usually Doesn’t Work
Let’s break it down:
Step in the Listing Process | Why It’s a Problem for “Problem” Properties |
---|---|
Prepping for Photos | Requires cleanup, staging, and repairs |
Appraisal | May come in low due to condition or comps |
Buyer Inspections | Can result in repair requests or full cancellations |
Showings | Tough to schedule or pass if the home is in rough shape |
Financing Requirements | FHA/VA loans often won’t approve distressed homes |
Timeline | Listing takes 30–90+ days — not ideal for urgent situations |
Even if you get an offer, there’s a high risk the buyer walks or the deal falls apart in escrow.

Real Story: Spokane Seller Facing a Nightmare Property
A Spokane homeowner inherited a rental property that had been vacant for years. It had:
- Broken windows
- A flooded basement
- Rodent infestation
- $12,000 in unpaid taxes
- A tree growing through the back deck
He couldn’t afford to fix it. And he didn’t have the energy to deal with the city, contractors, or tenants.
He called us.
We gave him a fair offer — as-is — and closed in 10 days.
He walked away with cash in hand and no more stress.
That’s what we do.

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.
