“Sell Directly to REI Branded Home Buyer“
Let’s be real—owning rental property isn’t always passive income and sunshine. Sometimes, you’ve got tenants who:
- Won’t pay rent on time
- Damage the property
- Disrespect your neighbors
- Refuse to leave
- Threaten legal action if you try to evict
So what happens if you’re done dealing with it all and just want out? Can you still sell a house in Spokane with a problem tenant living there?
Yep. Here’s how it works—and how we can help.
First Things First: Yes, You Can Sell With Tenants
It’s a common myth that you can’t sell a tenant-occupied house, especially one with issues. But in Spokane and throughout Washington State, there’s no law that prevents you from selling.
You don’t need to wait for the lease to end. You don’t need to evict first. You just need a buyer willing to take the property as-is—tenants and all.
That’s where REI Branded Home Buyer comes in.
Why Problem Tenants Scare Most Buyers
Most traditional buyers want a clean, vacant house they can move into. Even investors often get spooked by tenants who:
- Ignore lease terms
- Are in the middle of eviction
- Won’t allow access for inspections or appraisals
- Have caused code violations or property damage
Selling through an agent in this scenario? Good luck. Showings are hard, financing is risky, and tenant cooperation is minimal at best.
We’re Not Most Buyers
We’re local cash buyers who’ve handled nightmare tenant situations before. Just last month, we bought a rental in North Spokane with a hoarder tenant who hadn’t paid rent in four months. The landlord was exhausted—he’d tried everything.
We stepped in, made a fair cash offer, and handled the entire transition without involving the seller further. No evictions. No drama. Just a clean exit.
Your Options When Selling With Problem Tenants
You’ve got a few:
1. Negotiate “Cash for Keys”
Offer the tenant money to leave voluntarily. This works sometimes—but not always with truly difficult renters.
2. Evict First, Then Sell
This is often stressful and slow. Evictions in Spokane can take 2–3 months, plus legal costs.
3. Sell Directly to REI Branded Home Buyer
We’ll make a cash offer and buy your house with the tenant still inside. No need to evict. No need to clean. Just walk away.

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.
