If you’re the owner — or heir — of a hoarder house in Washington, you may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even embarrassed. We get it. These homes often come with years of buildup, emotional weight, and serious challenges.
But here’s the truth: you can sell a hoarder house without cleaning it, fixing it, or even stepping foot inside again.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying hoarder houses all across Washington as-is — junk, damage, and all. No judgment, no cleanup, no pressure.
What Is a Hoarder House?
A hoarder house is typically a property where excessive belongings, trash, or even hazardous materials have accumulated to the point that the home is no longer safe or livable.
These homes often suffer from:
- Trash and clutter stacked floor to ceiling
- Rodents or pest infestations (WA DOH on pests)
- Mold or moisture issues (Mold info from WA DOH)
- Structural damage from years of neglect
- City code violations or liens (Learn more about code violations)
- Emotional distress for the owner or family
Whether it’s your home or one you inherited, trying to clean it out yourself can take months — and cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Can You Sell a Hoarder House in Washington?
Yes. And you don’t have to clean it first.
In fact, if you’re dealing with a serious hoarding situation, traditional real estate agents often won’t touch it — or will require a full cleanout before they list it.
Instead, your best option is to sell it directly to a cash buyer like REI Branded Home Buyer who understands what you’re dealing with — and can take it off your hands quickly.
We Buy Hoarder Houses in Any Condition
We’ve seen it all:
- Homes filled with newspapers, boxes, and old furniture
- Freezers full of spoiled food
- Animal waste and biohazard risks
- Broken plumbing or collapsed ceilings
- Fire or water damage beneath the clutter
- City notices taped to the door
- Entire rooms that are completely inaccessible
The good news? You don’t have to do anything.
Just tell us where the key is, and we’ll take care of everything — from cleanup to closing.

Real Story: A Family in Yakima
We recently worked with a family in Yakima who inherited their uncle’s home after his passing. He had lived alone for 20 years, and the home was packed wall-to-wall with old magazines, expired food, broken appliances, and junk.
They felt paralyzed by the idea of dealing with it.
We made them a fair cash offer, handled the cleanup ourselves, and closed in 9 days. They walked away with peace of mind — and no emotional burden.

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.
