“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Mold and pests are deal breakers for most buyers — and they’re expensive to fix. Whether your Everett home has a rodent problem, black mold, or cockroach infestations, you don’t have to spend thousands to make it sellable.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy homes as-is — no matter how rough the condition. If your home is growing toxic mold or crawling with pests, we’ll still make a fair offer.
🐛 Common Pest & Mold Issues We See in Everett Homes
We’ve bought houses with:
- Black mold in basements or behind drywall (WA DOH Mold Guide)
- Rodents or raccoons in attics and crawlspaces
- Cockroach or termite infestations
- Bat droppings and odors in vacant homes
- Dead pests and biohazards from long-term vacancy
- Hoarder conditions and code violations (Code info)
These homes are nearly impossible to sell on the open market — but not to us.
🧾 WA Disclosure Requirements for Mold or Pests
In Washington, sellers must disclose known mold or pest issues on Form 17, even if they’re hidden.
That disclosure alone can scare off buyers, trigger long inspection delays, or cause deals to fall apart. Not with us — we already expect the worst and buy the home anyway.
🧠 Why Most Buyers Walk Away — and Why We Don’t
Traditional buyers will:
❌ Require mold remediation
❌ Expect extermination and sanitation
❌ Walk if the property smells or looks bad
❌ Lower their offer drastically after inspection
We:
✅ Buy your home without an inspection contingency
✅ Handle cleanup, pest control, and mold removal after closing
✅ Let you skip the hassle and just take the cash

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.
