“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”

Selling a rental property with a difficult or uncooperative tenant in place? It’s one of the toughest situations a landlord can face — especially in Washington.

Whether they refuse to vacate, deny showings, or aren’t paying rent, your options are limited when tenant rights are involved. Fortunately, we offer a simple solution.

At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy rental properties with tenants in place — including problem tenants, non-payers, and people who won’t communicate.


Common Challenges Landlords Face

  • Tenants won’t allow showings or inspections
  • Lease still in place but the landlord wants to sell
  • Rent is unpaid, but eviction is legally blocked
  • Hostile behavior or threats of legal action
  • Damage to the property but no access for repair
  • Washington tenant protections slow down the eviction process

Real Story From Everett

A landlord in Everett had tenants on a month-to-month lease who stopped paying rent. When he tried to show the property, they threatened legal action and refused to answer the door.

He contacted us. We made a cash offer, purchased the home with the tenants still inside, and handled everything post-closing.

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.
