“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
When a contractor or subcontractor isn’t paid for work done on your property, they can file a mechanics lien—a legal claim that makes it very difficult to sell your house. If your Tacoma WA property is stuck in limbo due to unpaid renovations, repairs, or disputes, you still have options.
REI Branded Home Buyer purchases homes as-is, including those with mechanics liens, unpermitted additions, or halted rehabs.
What Is a Mechanics Lien?
A mechanics lien allows contractors, roofers, electricians, and other professionals to claim a legal interest in your property if they haven’t been paid. These liens are common when:
- Contractors aren’t paid for completed work
- Disputes arise over scope or payment
- You do DIY construction but fail inspection
- Permits are missing or expired

Why This Stops Most Buyers
A mechanics lien creates a cloud on title, preventing most traditional buyers and lenders from moving forward. Title companies will flag it and require resolution before closing.
That’s why cash homebuyers like us are essential if you need to sell now.

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.
