“Why REI Branded Home Buyer Says “Yes””
If your Spokane home has asbestos, selling it can feel like a legal nightmare. Home inspectors flag it. Buyers walk away. And if the word “remediation” gets brought up? You’re looking at thousands of dollars just to start the process.
But here’s the truth: you can still sell a house with asbestos in Spokane — without spending a dime on repairs.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying houses with issues — including asbestos. We pay cash, buy homes as-is, and take care of the risk and repairs ourselves.
What Is Asbestos and Why Does It Matter?
Asbestos was used in many Spokane homes built before the 1980s — in:
- Floor tiles
- Pipe insulation
- Popcorn ceilings
- Siding and roofing
- Ductwork and attic insulation
While it’s safe when undisturbed, asbestos becomes dangerous when damaged or airborne — and that makes it a big concern for homebuyers, agents, and inspectors.
Real Story: Spokane Rental With Asbestos Pipe Wraps
We once worked with a Spokane landlord who inherited an older rental. The house had wrapped piping with asbestos insulation in the basement. A buyer backed out last minute after inspection flagged the issue. The seller was stuck and losing rental income. We stepped in, offered cash, waived inspections, and closed in 9 days. No abatement required, no delays.
Why Most Buyers Walk Away From Asbestos
Mortgage lenders often won’t approve loans for homes with known asbestos exposure. Even when the asbestos isn’t actively hazardous, it raises concerns:
- Health liability
- Expensive removal
- Difficulty reselling later
That’s why most traditional buyers say “no thanks” — even if you offer a steep discount.

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.
