“Ready to Sell Your Spokane House With a Lien?”
Liens are one of the most stressful surprises homeowners face when trying to sell a house. Whether it’s a tax lien, mechanic’s lien, HOA lien, or something else entirely—many homeowners in Spokane think it means they can’t sell. But here’s the truth:
👉 You can sell a house with a lien.
👉 And you can do it fast—without the legal stress, delays, or extra out-of-pocket costs.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying houses with liens and resolving complex title issues. We’re not scared off by paperwork—and we’ve helped dozens of Spokane homeowners sell properties with financial clouds hanging over them.
What Is a Lien, Exactly?
A lien is a legal claim that someone else (a creditor) has on your property. It typically means money is owed, and the lienholder wants to be paid when the property sells.
Common types of liens we see in Spokane:
- Property tax liens from Spokane County
- IRS tax liens
- Judgment liens from unpaid debts or lawsuits
- Mechanic’s liens from contractors who didn’t get paid
- Child support or divorce-related liens
- HOA or utility liens
These liens must typically be paid off or negotiated during the sale process—but that doesn’t mean you have to pay them out of pocket.
Spokane Homeowner Story: Lien From an Old Divorce Judgment
We helped a Spokane homeowner in the North Spokane area who had a lien left over from a divorce 15 years ago. She had no idea it still existed until she tried to sell. We worked directly with the title company to settle the lien through the sale proceeds—and she walked away with cash and peace of mind.
Why a Lien Can Delay a Traditional Sale
Here’s why liens cause issues on the open market:
- Title companies won’t issue clean title until it’s resolved
- Buyers’ lenders may deny financing
- Agents often don’t know how to navigate lien payoffs
This can cause major closing delays or deal cancellations. That’s why many homeowners choose to sell their house as-is for cash instead.

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.
