“We Buy Vacant Houses Across Spokane”
A vacant house is a magnet for trouble.
In Spokane, we’ve seen empty homes get hit by squatters, city code violations, frozen pipes, vandalism—you name it. Whether you inherited the home, moved and couldn’t sell, or just haven’t gotten around to fixing it, the longer it sits vacant… the bigger the headache.
Let’s break down the real risks, how to avoid them, and how to sell a vacant house in Spokane fast—without paying for repairs, agents, or holding costs.
Why Vacant Homes Are a Problem in Spokane
A home without someone living in it is like a parked car with the keys in the ignition—it draws the wrong kind of attention. Here’s what can go wrong:
- 🚨 Break-ins and vandalism
- 🔥 Squatters starting fires or damaging the home
- 💸 Unpaid property taxes racking up fines
- ❄️ Frozen pipes or roof leaks going unnoticed
- 🧼 Spokane County Code Enforcement issuing violations
If you’ve been slapped with a citation or you’re just worried about what could happen next, you’re not alone. We’ve helped dozens of homeowners in Spokane get out of vacant property situations—fast.
Spokane Story: Vacant Home in South Hill
We recently helped a couple who moved to Idaho but couldn’t sell their Spokane house. It sat vacant for six months. In that time, someone broke in, stripped the copper wiring, and left a giant mess. Then the city cited them for a code violation.
They called us, overwhelmed and unsure what to do. We made a cash offer the same day and closed in 10 days. No repairs. No cleanup. Just relief.
Can You Sell a Vacant House As-Is?
Yes. And often, it’s the smartest move.
You have two options:
Option 1: Try to list it with an agent
If the house is in rough shape or hasn’t been maintained, good luck. Agents may insist you:
- Make repairs
- Clean and stage the home
- Pay utilities and taxes while it sits
- Wait months for a buyer who might fall through
Option 2: Sell directly to a Spokane cash buyer
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying vacant homes—even if they’re a wreck. No showings, no waiting, no drama.

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.
