“Can You Sell a House in Foreclosure in Washington?”
If you’ve received a foreclosure notice or you’re falling behind on your mortgage payments, you might feel like you’re running out of time — or options.
But here’s the good news: you can still sell your house during foreclosure in Washington and walk away with cash in hand. It’s not too late — but the clock is ticking.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help Washington homeowners stop foreclosure by buying houses fast, as-is, with no banks or agents involved. Here’s what you need to know if you’re facing foreclosure and want a way out.
What Is Foreclosure, Really?
Foreclosure is the legal process lenders use to reclaim a property when the borrower stops making mortgage payments. In Washington, it’s usually a non-judicial foreclosure, meaning it doesn’t go to court — but it does move fast.
Once your lender files a Notice of Default, the foreclosure process kicks off. You’ll receive a Notice of Trustee Sale, and if nothing is done, the house will go to auction — often within 120 days.
If you do nothing, you could lose your home and your equity — and the foreclosure will stay on your credit report for 7 years.
But you still have time to act.
Can You Sell a House in Foreclosure in Washington?
Yes — up until the auction date, you can sell your house to avoid foreclosure. This is called a pre-foreclosure sale, and it’s often the best path forward for homeowners who don’t want a foreclosure on their record.
If you can sell fast enough to pay off the mortgage (or negotiate a short sale), you can walk away with less damage to your credit — and often some cash in your pocket.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying houses in foreclosure fast — often within 7–14 days. If you’re in pre-foreclosure now, we can help stop the clock.
Why People Face Foreclosure in Washington
We’ve helped homeowners all over Washington deal with situations like:
- Job loss or income cut
- Medical debt or illness
- Divorce or separation
- Lost a spouse or partner
- High-interest loans that ballooned
- Property taxes that got out of control
- Missed payments during COVID or personal emergencies
Whatever the reason, we don’t judge. We just help you move forward.
What Happens If You Do Nothing?
If you ignore the notices and don’t take action, here’s what happens:
- You miss more payments
- You receive a Notice of Default
- You get a Notice of Trustee Sale (your auction date)
- The house is auctioned off
- You get evicted and lose the house
- You walk away with nothing — but you still owe in some cases
- Your credit takes a major hit, making it harder to buy or rent again
That’s why selling fast — before the auction — is your best option.
Why Selling to a Cash Buyer Is the Fastest Solution
In most foreclosure situations, time is the enemy. You can’t afford delays from picky buyers, lenders, or agents. You need a buyer who can move now.
That’s where REI Branded Home Buyer comes in. We buy homes fast, in any condition, without banks or agents. We’ll give you a cash offer in 24 hours and close before your auction date — no commissions, no repairs, and no judgment.
Our Process Is Simple (And Built for Urgency)
- You call or submit your info
- We evaluate the property and run comps — no need for showings
- You get a fair cash offer within 24 hours
- We close in 7–14 days or before your foreclosure deadline
- You walk away with peace of mind (and possibly cash in hand)
We also handle any leftover junk or belongings — you don’t have to lift a finger.
Real Story: A Spokane Seller Saved $80K in Equity
We worked with a seller just outside Spokane who had missed 5 months of mortgage payments after a medical emergency. The auction was only 3 weeks away. He was panicked and unsure what to do.
We moved fast, made a fair cash offer, and closed in 10 days. Not only did he avoid foreclosure — he kept $80,000 in equity that would’ve been lost at auction.
That’s the power of selling before it’s too late.
What If You Owe More Than the House Is Worth?
If your mortgage is underwater (you owe more than the house is worth), we can still help by exploring a short sale or negotiating directly with the lender.
We’ve worked through short sales, probate delays, IRS liens, and more. If there’s a way out, we’ll help you find it.

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.
