“Why Sell to REI Branded Home Buyer?”
If you’re behind on property taxes in Spokane, you’re not alone.
Many Washington homeowners fall behind due to job loss, medical bills, or life just hitting hard. And when the tax bills pile up, the County can place a tax lien on your home—or even auction it off.
But here’s the good news:
You can still sell your house—even with back taxes owed.
And at REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in helping Spokane homeowners sell quickly before things get worse.
What Happens If You Don’t Pay Property Taxes in Spokane?
Spokane County has the authority to:
- Place a lien on your property
- Charge penalties and interest on overdue taxes
- Begin the tax foreclosure process
- Auction your house to the public
You can view Spokane County’s tax lien and foreclosure guidelines on their Treasurer’s website.
Once the process begins, you have limited time to act before losing your home.
Can You Sell a House With Back Taxes Owed?
Yes. In most cases, you can sell your house before the county auctions it—even if you owe back taxes. Here’s how it works:
- The buyer (like us) agrees to purchase your home
- The owed taxes are paid out of the sale proceeds
- You walk away with whatever is left over (and peace of mind)
We help sellers do this every month—and we handle all the paperwork.
Real Spokane Story: A Tax Bill Nearly Lost This Family’s Home
A family in the Logan Neighborhood contacted us after three years of unpaid taxes. They had no idea the County was preparing a foreclosure sale.

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.
