“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Owning a vacant home in Washington can quickly turn into a costly headache. Whether it’s sitting empty due to an inheritance, failed renovation, or waiting for the right buyer, vacant houses can rack up bills, code violations, and risk vandalism or squatters.
Why Vacant Homes Are Risky in WA
When no one lives in a house, things fall apart faster. Moisture builds up, pests settle in, and maintenance is ignored. Many counties in Washington, including King County and Spokane County, enforce penalties or code enforcement on properties that sit empty and neglected for too long.
Also, vacant homes can draw unwanted attention. Squatters can gain access, and without anyone there to notice, they may claim occupancy rights under Washington’s adverse possession laws.
Common Reasons Homes Go Vacant
- Death of a family member with no heir ready to move in
- Out-of-state owner or absentee landlord
- Slow market or listing delays
- Pre-foreclosure or financial stress
- Unfinished DIY renovations
- Code issues, foundation problems, or needed retrofitting
Regardless of the reason, these properties cost you every day they sit unused.

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.
