“Work With Pros Who Care”
You had big dreams of passive income. Instead, you got missed rent, angry neighbors, and late-night maintenance calls.
If you’re stuck with bad tenants in your Washington rental, the good news is — you can sell that property and walk away.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying rental properties with tenants still inside — even if they’re causing trouble.
What Counts as a “Problem Tenant”?
We’ve seen it all:
- Tenants who won’t pay rent
- People trashing the unit or ignoring maintenance
- Constant complaints from neighbors or law enforcement
- Unauthorized pets, occupants, or illegal activity
- Eviction-resistant squatters who know the system
Whether you’re dealing with a tenant who’s months behind or one you just want gone, we can help.
Can You Sell a Rental With Tenants?
Yes — but traditional buyers usually won’t touch it if there are tenant problems, lease issues, or damage involved.
That’s where cash buyers like us come in.
We buy properties across Washington with:
- Late-paying or non-paying tenants
- Evictions in progress
- Lease violations
- Section 8 complications
- Tenants under COVID-era protections
Real Story: Bad Tenant in Skagit County
A landlord in Skagit County had a tenant who hadn’t paid rent in six months. They were protected by local regulations, and the eviction process was going nowhere. The seller called us, and we made a cash offer with the tenant still inside. We handled the legal process after closing — and the seller walked away clean.
What We Handle (So You Don’t Have To)
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we’ll:
- Work around your tenant — no showings, no open houses
- Close with or without access
- Deal with lease terminations, legal filings, or settlements
- Buy the property as-is, even if it’s damaged
We’ve helped landlords in Vancouver, Walla Walla, Spokane, and Bellingham walk away from stressful rentals and move on with cash in hand.

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.
