“Why Sell To REI Branded Home Buyer?”
Have a roof that’s seen better days?
Maybe you’ve got shingles curling up like potato chips, or a home inspector just flagged the whole thing as “end of life.”
If you’re trying to sell a house in Spokane with an old roof, you already know it’s a sticking point. Most buyers get cold feet. Most lenders won’t touch it. But at REI Branded Home Buyer, we’re not “most buyers.”
We buy houses as-is — roof and all.
Why an Old Roof Makes Selling Hard
In Spokane’s real estate market, buyers expect certain things — and a roof with 20+ years on it isn’t one of them.
Here’s why it can kill your sale:
- Home insurance companies often won’t insure homes with roofs over 20–25 years
- Lenders may require a new roof before funding
- Home inspectors will flag roof issues, leading to price drops or canceled offers
- Buyers may fear leaks, mold, or future expenses
The roof becomes a negotiation battlefield — and usually, sellers lose.
Real Spokane Story: Roof Issues in the Logan Neighborhood
We worked with a homeowner in Logan who had a 28-year-old composition roof that had started leaking during the spring thaw. They had received quotes for over $16,000 to replace it — money they just didn’t have.
Instead of sinking funds into repairs, they called us.
We made a cash offer, didn’t ask for a single fix, and closed within 10 days.
Can You Sell a House With an Old Roof?
Absolutely. But you need to choose the right buyer.
Traditional buyers = inspections, appraisals, demands.
REI Branded Home Buyer = cash, speed, zero repairs.
We don’t ask you to climb on your roof or shell out thousands. We just buy houses — roof problems and all.

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.
