What Makes Selling a Hoarder House So Difficult?
Let’s face it: selling a hoarder house can feel overwhelming. Piles of stuff, possible health hazards, and the emotional weight of it all can make even the thought of listing feel impossible.
Whether the home belongs to you, a loved one, or a tenant—you don’t have to clean it up first.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ve helped many Spokane homeowners sell hoarder houses as-is. No judgment. No showings. No dumpster rentals.
What Makes Selling a Hoarder House So Difficult?
- Agents often won’t list hoarder homes without cleanup
- Buyers can’t get financing due to the condition
- Cleanup costs can be thousands of dollars
- Emotionally draining for family members, especially during probate or after a death
- Legal risks if the house is in code violation
True Story: A Garland District House With a Full Basement
We helped a family who inherited a hoarder house in the Garland District. The basement was stacked floor to ceiling. They were grieving and had no idea how to start.
We told them, “Leave everything. We’ll take care of it.”
We made a cash offer, closed in 9 days, and they never had to touch a thing.
What Happens If You Leave a Hoarder House Vacant?
Vacant hoarder homes in areas like Hillyard, Logan, or North Spokane often rack up:
- Code violations
- Fines from the city
- Water damage or mold
- Break-ins and squatting
Time is not on your side with these properties. But we are.

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.
