“Why Cash Buyers Love Foundation Issues”
If your house has serious foundation damage — sinking floors, cracked walls, sticking doors — selling it on the open market can feel impossible. The moment buyers see those red flags, most run for the hills.
But here’s the truth:
You can still sell a house with foundation issues in Spokane — and for a fair cash price.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy Spokane houses with major structural problems, including cracked foundations, sloping floors, and failing basements. No repairs, no inspections, no hassle.
🧱 What Counts as a “Foundation Issue”?
In Spokane, homes often face foundation damage due to shifting soil, moisture, poor construction, or just age. Common signs include:
| Foundation Problem | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|
| Horizontal or stair-step cracks | Found in basement or foundation walls |
| Sloping or sagging floors | Uneven walking surfaces, hard to open doors |
| Water intrusion or flooding | Moisture in crawlspaces or basements |
| Cracked exterior bricks | Visible structural separation outside |
| Bowing or leaning walls | Structural instability in basement walls |
🛠️ Why It’s So Hard to Sell on the Market
Let’s be real: foundation damage freaks people out.
- Buyers are scared — They assume the worst (and the biggest repair bills).
- Banks won’t lend — Most mortgage lenders require homes to pass inspection.
- Agents avoid these listings — Because they know deals fall apart quickly.
- Repairs cost a fortune — A new foundation in Spokane can run $15,000–$60,000+.
- Time is against you — As the house sits, it often gets worse.
⚒️ Spokane Story: Selling a Home With a Sinking Basement
We worked with a homeowner in South Hill who had severe settling in their 1940s basement. The walls were bowing in, and the city had flagged the house for safety concerns. The seller couldn’t afford repairs and just wanted out.
We made a cash offer within 24 hours and closed in 10 days. The seller was free to move on, and we handled the heavy lifting.
🏚️ Should You Fix It First?
Only if you’ve got:
- $30K–$50K cash
- A few months for permits and contractors
- The patience to navigate inspections and delays
For most people, it’s just not worth the stress. That’s why many Spokane homeowners sell to us instead.

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.
