“Why Spokane Landlords Choose REI Branded Home Buyer”
If you own a rental property in Spokane and your tenants are on a month-to-month lease, you may be wondering if you need to wait until they move out to sell your house.
The good news? You can sell anytime.
Even while tenants are still living there.
And it doesn’t have to be complicated.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we work with landlords every month who want to sell their Spokane property fast—without violating tenant rights or dealing with eviction.
Let’s break it down.
What Is a Month-to-Month Lease in Washington?
A month-to-month rental agreement means that the lease automatically renews every month unless either the landlord or the tenant gives notice to end it. Under Washington state landlord-tenant law, if you plan to sell and want the tenant to move out, you must provide proper notice.
As of 2021, under the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act, landlords must give:
- 90 days’ written notice if ending the lease due to sale to a buyer who wants the home vacant
- 20 days’ notice if the tenant is violating lease terms or rent isn’t paid
- Otherwise, you may sell with the tenant still in place
Selling With Tenants Still in Place
If the tenant is cooperative and current on rent, selling the house with them in place is often the fastest option. Many buyers—especially investors or companies like us—are happy to take over the lease and continue renting the home.
This means:
- No need to evict
- No risk of the house sitting vacant
- You keep collecting rent until closing
- No repairs, showings, or inspections needed
We’ve bought dozens of Spokane homes with active month-to-month tenants still living inside. One seller in North Spokane recently sold us a home with an older couple who’d been renting for years. We let them stay and kept the lease intact—everyone walked away happy.
What If the Tenant Doesn’t Want to Cooperate?
Let’s face it: not all tenant situations are smooth. Some tenants don’t want to allow showings, refuse to communicate, or fall behind on rent.
Don’t worry—we’ll still buy the house.
Whether you’re dealing with:
- Missed rent payments
- Property damage
- Tenant complaints
- Legal notices
We’ll evaluate your specific situation and take care of the rest. We’ve purchased homes in Downtown Spokane, University District, and even Cheney with all kinds of tenant complications.

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.
