“Why Sell Your Rental to REI Branded Home Buyer?”
Being a landlord can be a solid investment—until it’s not. If you’ve decided it’s time to offload your rental property in Spokane but still have tenants living there, you might be wondering:
“Can I even sell it while they’re still in place?”
Short answer: yes, you can.
And in most cases, you don’t have to wait for the lease to end or force the tenants out first.
Let’s walk through your options, your legal rights, and how we help Spokane landlords like you sell rental properties with tenants in place.
Option 1: Wait for the Lease to End
This is the most traditional route. If your tenant is on a month-to-month lease, you can provide at least 20 days’ notice before the end of the rental period (per Washington state law). If they’re on a longer-term lease, you’ll need to wait until the lease expires—unless there’s a mutual agreement to terminate early.
Downside? This can drag things out and delay your sale for months.
Option 2: Sell With the Tenant Still in Place
This is often the fastest and most practical route—especially if you’re selling to an investor or cash buyer (like us).
Here’s what that looks like:
- You let your tenant know you’re selling the property
- You may need to provide proper notice before showings
- If your buyer plans to keep it as a rental, the lease transfers to them
- If the buyer wants it vacant, they may negotiate with the tenant or handle the transition themselves
With REI Branded Home Buyer, we often purchase Spokane rentals with active leases and handle everything—including tenant communication and transition.
Spokane Landlords We’ve Helped
One of our recent clients owned a duplex in Logan with two long-term tenants. The owner was relocating and didn’t want to deal with property management anymore. We stepped in, evaluated the lease terms, and closed in under three weeks. The tenants never had to leave, and the seller got paid quickly without drama.
What About Difficult Tenants?
If your tenants:
- Are behind on rent
- Are causing damage
- Refuse to cooperate
You can still sell. We’ve purchased rentals in Hillyard and Whitman with all kinds of tenant situations—including evictions in progress. We’ll work with you and your attorney if needed, and we’ll never require you to clean, fix, or negotiate with renters.

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.
