“Why Work With REI Branded Home Buyer?”
Thinking about selling your rental property in Spokane, but your tenants are still in place? Whether your lease is month-to-month or long-term, it can feel tricky to make a move without disrupting your cash flow—or your tenants’ lives.
But here’s the good news: you can sell your property without waiting for your tenants to move out, and it doesn’t have to be a legal nightmare.
Let’s walk through how it works and how REI Branded Home Buyer can help.
Can You Sell a Rental Property With Tenants in Washington?
Yes—Washington landlords are legally allowed to sell a property with tenants in place. But you do have to follow some important rules, especially if the lease is still active or if your tenant has rights under Spokane’s rental ordinances.
Here’s what matters:
- Fixed-Term Lease: If your tenant has a lease that hasn’t expired, the new buyer must honor it—unless the tenant agrees to move.
- Month-to-Month Lease: You can terminate with at least 60 days’ notice in most cases (or 90 days in some situations).
- Cash Buyers Like Us: We can take over the lease and let you avoid the legal wrangling altogether.
3 Ways to Sell With Tenants Still Living There
1. Sell to a Landlord Buyer (Like Us)
This is the easiest and most common path. We buy houses in Spokane with tenants still in place. You keep collecting rent until closing, and we handle the lease, transition, and communication after the sale.
No disruptions. No drama.
2. Negotiate Early Move-Out
You can offer tenants a financial incentive—aka “cash for keys”—to leave before closing. We’ve helped dozens of landlords negotiate peaceful exits with tenants. It’s faster than eviction and much less painful.
3. Wait Out the Lease (If You Must)
If your buyer is a homeowner or plans to live in the property, you may need to wait for the lease to end. But this often delays your sale and adds risk. It’s why most Spokane landlords sell directly to us, especially in hot spots like Garland District, South Hill, and University District.
We’ve Helped Spokane Landlords Do This
We recently worked with a seller in North Spokane who had two tenants in place—one long-term and one month-to-month. They didn’t want to evict or manage notices. We made a fast cash offer, took over the leases, 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.
