“Work With Local Pros Who Care”
Have a lien on your home and not sure if you can sell? You’re not alone.
In Washington, homeowners face everything from tax liens and HOA liens to mechanic’s liens and medical bills. These legal claims can complicate — but not block — the sale.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying homes with liens — and we help you clear them at closing.
Types of Liens We Can Help With
- Mortgage liens (primary or second mortgages)
- Tax liens from the IRS or county
- Mechanic’s liens from unpaid contractors
- HOA liens
- Medical or hospital liens
- Judgment liens and lawsuits
- Child support liens
Real Story From Bellingham
A homeowner in Bellingham owed over $35,000 in back taxes and had a judgment lien from an old lawsuit.
The property couldn’t be listed on the MLS. We stepped in, negotiated a payoff with the lienholders, and closed in 14 days, clearing all debts at closing.

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.
