“Can I Sell a House With a Lien in Spokane?”
Dealing with a lien on your home? You’re not alone. Whether it’s for unpaid taxes, contractor work, or a legal judgment, a lien doesn’t have to stop you from selling.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ve helped many Spokane homeowners navigate tricky situations—including liens, code violations, and even foreclosure. You don’t have to feel stuck.
What Is a Lien, Exactly?
A lien is a legal claim against your property—basically someone saying, “You owe me money, and I want a piece of your house.” Common types include:
- Tax Liens (from unpaid property taxes)
- Mechanic’s Liens (from contractors or builders)
- Judgment Liens (from lawsuits or court settlements)
- HOA Liens (for unpaid dues)
You can’t transfer clean ownership with an active lien—but that doesn’t mean you can’t sell.
Can I Sell a House With a Lien in Spokane?
Yes, but it’s more complicated.
The lien must either be paid at closing or negotiated as part of the sale.
If you list the house with an agent, you might lose months trying to clear the title. If you work with us, we can buy your house as-is, pay off the lien at closing, and handle all the paperwork.
Spokane Seller Spotlight: Lien on a South Hill Property
We recently worked with a homeowner in South Hill. She had a $17,000 tax lien and couldn’t afford to bring money to the table.
We structured the deal so our purchase price covered the lien and still put money in her pocket.
She sold fast, avoided foreclosure, and walked away stress-free.

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.
