“Why Sellers Choose REI Branded Home Buyer”
If you own an older home in Spokane, there’s a good chance asbestos could be hiding in your walls, insulation, or ceilings. And when it’s time to sell, that can cause panic — for you and for buyers.
The big question is: Can you sell a house with asbestos?
Short answer: Yes, you can. And in many cases, you can do it without removing the asbestos.
Let’s walk through how to do it safely, legally, and with minimal stress.
Where Asbestos Might Be in Your Spokane Home
Most homes built before 1980 in neighborhoods like Hillyard or Logan could contain asbestos in areas like:
- Pipe and duct insulation
- Popcorn ceilings
- Floor tiles
- Roof shingles
- Siding
- Boiler or furnace insulation
Asbestos isn’t dangerous unless it’s disturbed — but that’s exactly what scares many buyers.
Do You Have to Remove Asbestos to Sell a House?
No, you don’t have to remove asbestos to sell a house in Spokane.
But under Washington law, if you know there is asbestos, you must disclose it to buyers in your Seller Disclosure Statement (Form 17).
If you’re working with a real estate agent, they’ll usually recommend an inspection. That can lead to:
- Buyer concerns or backing out
- Reduced offers
- Required remediation, which can cost $5,000–$30,000+
Option 1: List With a Real Estate Agent
If the asbestos is minimal or hasn’t been disturbed, you might still be able to list the house. But expect the sale to take longer, and you may need to lower the price.
Be prepared for:
- Negotiations over asbestos mitigation
- Required disclosures
- Possible delays due to financing or inspections
Option 2: Sell Your House As-Is for 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.
