“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Liens are one of the most common reasons a home sale falls through — especially in Washington.
Whether it’s a tax lien, mechanics lien, or unpaid HOA fees, liens tie up your title and make it difficult — if not impossible — to sell through a traditional agent.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy houses with liens in Washington, fast and as-is. You don’t need to pay off the debt before selling — we handle that for you during closing.
Common Types of Liens in WA
- Mortgage Liens from missed payments or second loans
- Property Tax Liens from unpaid county taxes
- Judgment Liens from lawsuits, credit cards, or medical bills
- Mechanics Liens for unpaid contractor work
- HOA Liens for late fees or rule violations
- Child Support Liens from unpaid obligations
Each of these can delay or block a standard home sale — but we buy homes with any and all liens attached.
Real Story From Spokane County
A homeowner in Spokane County fell behind on taxes and repairs. The house had three liens: one from the IRS, one from a contractor, and a small HOA lien.
They couldn’t list it. We stepped in, verified the lien amounts, made a cash offer, and worked with the title company to pay off the liens at closing — with zero out-of-pocket costs for the seller.

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.
