“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
If your house in Tacoma WA has code violations, failed inspections, or unpermitted renovations, you may be facing a serious challenge. These issues can scare off traditional buyers, trigger city enforcement, and delay or derail closings.
But here’s the good news: REI Branded Home Buyer buys properties as-is—including those with serious violations or permit issues.
Common Code Violations in Tacoma
Tacoma’s Municipal Code requires homes to meet basic standards for health, safety, and appearance. Here are some common red flags:
- Unpermitted additions or remodels
- Broken windows, roof damage, or exposed wiring
- Mold, pests, or hoarding conditions
- Incomplete construction or stop work orders
- Overgrown lawns, debris, or exterior neglect

🔗 Code Violations – General Overview
Why Traditional Buyers Back Out
Code violations are public record and can show up during inspections or title searches. Banks won’t lend on homes that are:
- Unsafe
- Missing permits
- Flagged by city enforcement
Even if you’re trying to fix it, the process can take months. And every week you wait, fines and citations may stack up.

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.
