“We Can Help”
Code violations in Spokane can make selling your house feel impossible — but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’ve received notices about zoning issues, structural safety, or health hazards, you can still sell your property and move on.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in helping homeowners sell their Spokane homes as-is, even with active violations or red tags from the city.
Common Code Violations in Spokane
Code violations are more common than most homeowners realize, especially in older neighborhoods like Hillyard and Garland District. Some of the most common violations we see include:
- Unpermitted additions or garage conversions
- Unsafe electrical wiring or plumbing
- Roofing or foundation problems
- Hoarding or sanitation issues
- Abandoned vehicles or junk in the yard
- Structural damage or collapsing porches

Can You Still Sell With Active Code Violations?
Yes — but your options may be limited.
- Traditional sale through a real estate agent often requires repairs to be made before the home is listed.
- Fix-it-yourself can be expensive, especially if the violations require permits or major renovations.
- Cash sale to a real estate investor like REI Branded Home Buyer allows you to sell as-is, without lifting a finger.
We’ll even work with the city if needed and buy the house with the violations in place.
Real Spokane Story: Fire Damage + Code Red Tags
We recently helped a homeowner in Downtown Spokane whose rental property had been red-tagged due to fire damage and multiple safety violations. She couldn’t afford the repairs and the city was threatening fines. We made a cash offer, handled the paperwork with the city, and closed in under 10 days.

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.
