“Why Spokane Landlords Choose Us”
Being a landlord in Spokane isn’t always sunshine and cash flow.
Sometimes, it’s more like missed rent, damaged walls, and angry neighbors.
If you’ve got problem tenants, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying rental properties with tenants in place, no matter the condition or situation. That includes nightmare tenants who…
- Don’t pay rent
- Damage the home
- Ignore lease terms
- Refuse to move out
- Make your life miserable
We’ve bought dozens of homes like these throughout Spokane and the surrounding neighborhoods, including Hillyard, Garland District, and Whitman.
Here’s what you need to know.
Can I Sell My Property With Problem Tenants?
Yes.
In Washington, landlords are allowed to sell rental properties with tenants in place. However, the lease agreement and condition of the property will affect your pool of buyers.
That’s where we come in.
Most traditional buyers and agents want vacant, clean, rent-ready homes.
But we’re not most buyers.
We buy Spokane rentals as-is, including:
- Properties with lease violations
- Homes with active code enforcement issues
- Rentals with long-term nonpaying tenants
- Damaged interiors, hoarder homes, or drug-related issues
- Landlords in active eviction or legal disputes
We’ve Handled It All — Real Spokane Stories
One recent seller in South Hill had a tenant who stopped paying during COVID. She tried to work with them for months but finally reached out to us after they caused damage to the basement.
We stepped in, made her a fair cash offer, and bought the home with the tenant still inside. We handled the legal notices, repairs, and transition—she got to walk away free and clear.
What Are My Options?
If you’re ready to stop:
- Dealing with threats and hostility
- Fighting for rent every month
- Getting late-night repair calls
- Losing sleep over legal risks
Then here are your options:
Option 1: Sell to a Traditional Buyer
Not likely unless the tenant leaves and the home is in great shape.
Option 2: Evict, Renovate, Then List
Can take 3–6 months or longer, and it’s costly.
✅ Option 3: Sell to REI Branded Home Buyer
No cleanup. No eviction needed. No stress. We’ll take the house and the tenant off your hands fast.

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.
