“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
If your Everett WA home has been hit with city citations or code violations, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed. Repair costs add up, the timeline is tight, and the fines don’t go away.
But here’s the good news: You can still sell your house — even with active violations.
🏚️ Common Code Violations in Everett
Some of the most common code issues that impact home sales in Everett include:
- Electrical or unpermitted work
- Unsafe foundation or roof
- Missing handrails or stair hazards
- Mold or water damage
- Garbage accumulation or broken fencing
- Expired permits or no Form 17
The City of Everett enforces these through local building and zoning ordinances. Citations can also lead to fines, liens, or forced repairs.
💡 Can You Sell a House With Open Violations?
Yes, you can. Many homeowners choose to sell their house as-is rather than paying out-of-pocket to fix violations.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy homes in any condition — including:
- Homes with code enforcement actions
- Properties facing liens
- Abandoned houses or those with squatters
- Unsafe or uninsurable homes
We’re cash buyers, so we don’t rely on traditional financing or appraisals. That means you can skip repairs and still get a fair offer.
🔎 What Happens to the Code Violation?
Depending on the type of citation, we may:
- Assume responsibility for the repairs post-sale
- Pay the fines at closing
- Work with the city to resolve the violations
It’s part of what we do — and why sellers love working with us.

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.
