How to Sell Your Tacoma House As-Is Without Repairs or Hassles
Not every house is move-in ready — and that’s okay.
If your Tacoma property has structural damage, outdated systems, pest issues, or you simply don’t have the time or money to clean, update, and market it traditionally, you’re not alone.
Thousands of homeowners in Tacoma choose to sell their homes “as-is.” This guide walks you through everything you need to know — and how to get it done fast and stress-free.
🧱 What Does “As-Is” Mean?
Selling a home as-is means:
- You’re not making any repairs or upgrades
- You’re not responsible for cleaning or inspections
- Buyers must accept the home in its current condition
You disclose known defects (using Washington’s Form 17), but the buyer agrees to take responsibility for any repairs after closing.

🛠️ When Does It Make Sense to Sell As-Is?
Selling your Tacoma home as-is makes sense if:
- The home needs costly repairs (roof, foundation, mold, plumbing)
- You inherited a property full of junk and old furniture
- You’re going through a divorce, probate, or financial distress
- The house has code violations, liens, or unpermitted work
- You’ve already moved out and don’t want to spend more on it

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.
