“Work With Local Pros Who Care”
If you’re trying to sell your house and hear the words “cloud on title,” it can feel like your plans just hit a wall.
Whether it’s an old lien, a missing signature, or a recording error, title problems can delay or block your sale entirely. But the good news is — you still have options.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying Washington homes with title issues, and we help clear the cloud so you can sell fast.
What Is a Cloud on Title?
A cloud on title is any unresolved issue that affects ownership. These issues may not show up until you’re ready to sell — and can stop a traditional buyer in their tracks.
Common title clouds in Washington:
- Unrecorded quitclaim deeds
- Inherited properties with missing probate steps
- Liens that were never properly released
- Disputes over real property ownership
- Errors in legal descriptions or chain of title
- Divorce-related disputes over who owns what
- Unknown heirs or forged signatures
Real Story From Spokane Valley
A woman in Spokane Valley tried to sell a home she inherited — only to learn her cousin had filed a quitclaim deed years earlier, never recorded properly. The title was a mess.
We helped her resolve it with our legal team, paid cash for the property, and closed in just 16 days — even with the cloud still active at the start.

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.
