“How to Sell Your Vacant Spokane Home Fast”
If you own a vacant or abandoned house in Spokane, it might feel like a ticking time bomb.
Vacant homes invite break-ins, squatters, water damage, roof issues, code violations, and even fines from the city. The longer it sits empty, the more risk and cost you face.
But here’s the good news:
You don’t have to fix it up or wait. You can sell it fast—just as it is.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying vacant homes, even ones that have been sitting for years. Whether you inherited the property, moved out long ago, or just don’t know what to do with it—we’ll take it off your hands with no hassle, no repairs, and no agent fees.
Spokane Vacant Property Horror Story
A homeowner in the Garland District moved out of state after a divorce and left the house sitting empty for two years. When a neighbor finally called about a busted window and water leak, it was too late—the basement had mold and squatters had left trash everywhere.
We bought the house as-is in less than 10 days, saving the seller from fines and expensive repairs.
Common Issues With Vacant or Abandoned Homes
Spokane’s city code enforcement is strict about vacant property maintenance. Here’s what you might be dealing with:
- Roof damage, leaks, or flooding
- Rotting floors or drywall from moisture
- Mold and mildew
- Code violations or safety fines
- Pest infestations (rats, insects)
- Vandalism or stolen copper plumbing
- Squatters or illegal occupants
- Fire risk or electrical issues
You don’t need to fix any of it. We’ll make a fair cash offer and take it from there.
Spokane City Laws: What You Should Know
The City of Spokane can fine you for failing to maintain a vacant property. This includes:
- Overgrown yards
- Unsecured doors or windows
- Structural safety concerns

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.
