“Trust REI Branded Home Buyer to Handle the Headache”
Dealing with code violations can be frustrating and expensive—especially when you’re trying to sell. But here’s the good news:
You don’t have to bring your house up to code to sell it.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy Spokane properties as-is, even with serious violations on file.
What Are Code Violations?
A code violation is when your property doesn’t meet local safety, building, health, or zoning codes. Some common Spokane issues include:
- Unpermitted renovations
- Electrical or plumbing problems
- Unsafe structures (like a damaged porch or stairwell)
- Hoarding or trash accumulation
- Overgrown yards or trees
- Missing handrails or smoke detectors
👉 Check out Spokane’s Zoning laws, Building & Safety Regulations, or Health Code Resources to learn more.
Why Spokane Homeowners Call Us
Traditional buyers walk away when code issues show up.
Lenders won’t fund a house that’s flagged as unsafe or illegal—and agents may require you to fix everything before listing.
Here’s why sellers like you turn to us:
✅ No repairs needed
✅ We buy homes with violations and liens
✅ We pay cash
✅ No inspections or appraisals
✅ No waiting months to close
Real Spokane Story: Basement Fire + Code Violations
We recently worked with a Spokane homeowner who had a basement fire, followed by a list of code violations from the city—missing insulation, electrical hazards, and unsafe stairs.
The city was threatening daily fines if repairs weren’t made.
We stepped in, made a cash offer the same day, and bought the home within 9 days. No repairs. No fees. Just relief.
How to Sell a Code-Violating Property in Spokane
Here’s how the process works:
| Step | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| 1. | Contact us and tell us about your property |
| 2. | We do a quick walkthrough (or video call) |
| 3. | You receive a no-obligation cash offer |
| 4. | If you accept, we coordinate with the city and title company |
| 5. | You get paid — fast |
We’ve worked with Spokane code enforcement before. We know how to resolve issues without wasting your time or money.
Can You Still Make Money?
Absolutely.
If your house still has value—despite the violations—we’ll build that into our offer. We’re investors, so we factor in the cost of repairs and city compliance. That means you get paid without lifting a finger.
We even handle:
- Unpaid fines
- Permit resolution
- City inspections post-sale
- Clean-up and repair after closing

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.
