“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
McKinley Hill is one of Tacoma’s most historic and character-rich neighborhoods — but with age often comes structural challenges. If your home has foundation issues, it can feel like a ticking clock when trying to sell.
⚠️ Signs of Foundation Problems
- Cracks in walls or floors
- Sloping floors
- Doors that stick or won’t close
- Water in the crawlspace
- Crumbling concrete or visible shifting

🧱 Why Traditional Buyers Back Out
Buyers relying on financing often walk away when a home has:
- Foundation settlement
- Structural instability
- Unfinished or outdated repair work
- Unpermitted structural modifications
Inspections flag these issues fast — and lenders won’t approve financing unless it’s fixed.
🛠️ Repairing the Foundation?
Here’s the reality in McKinley Hill:
- Foundation repairs can cost $10,000–$40,000+
- Permits, engineering reports, and contractors are required
- Repairs can take weeks — or months
- Buyers may still ask for a discount
For many sellers, the better path is selling as-is for cash.

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.
