“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
Selling a Home with Unpermitted Work in Tacoma WA
If your Tacoma property has an unpermitted addition — a garage conversion, bonus room, or extended kitchen — selling can be tricky. But you still have options.
What Counts as Unpermitted?
Anything added to a home without:
- Pulling proper permits
- Passing city inspections
- Meeting Tacoma zoning laws
Examples include:
- Finished basements
- Converted garages
- Room expansions
- Electrical or plumbing changes without city approval
Your Options as a Seller
✅ 1. Bring the Addition Up to Code
This means retrofitting, permitting, and possible demolition — expensive and time-consuming.
✅ 2. Sell As-Is
You can legally sell the home if you disclose the issue using Washington’s Form 17 (Seller Disclosure Statement).
A cash buyer like us will purchase your property:
- Without requiring permits
- No inspections needed
- Fast closing — no agent fees or delays

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.
