“What We Do at REI Branded Home Buyer”
If you’re trying to sell a house in Spokane and found out it has asbestos, you might feel stuck. Maybe a buyer backed out after an inspection. Maybe your agent is saying you have to spend thousands on abatement first. Here’s the reality:
You can sell your house even if it has asbestos — you just need the right buyer.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy Spokane homes as-is. Whether your home has asbestos, mold, water damage, or even a cracked foundation, we’ll still make you a fair cash offer.
What Is Asbestos and Why Is It a Problem?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction for insulation, siding, ceiling tiles, and more. It’s fire-resistant and durable — but also dangerous when disturbed.
If inhaled, asbestos fibers can cause serious health issues, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. That’s why its use was banned in most residential construction after the 1980s.
But in Spokane, many homes built before then may still contain asbestos in:
- Floor tiles and glue
- Popcorn ceilings
- Attic or wall insulation
- Roofing materials
- HVAC ductwork
Real Story: Spokane Home With Asbestos Ceiling Sold As-Is
We helped a Spokane homeowner who inherited their childhood home in the Garland District. They discovered asbestos in the popcorn ceilings and were told it would cost over $8,000 to remove. They didn’t have the cash or the time. We stepped in, made a same-day offer, and closed in under two weeks — asbestos and all.
Why Traditional Buyers Struggle With Asbestos
Most homebuyers aren’t prepared to deal with asbestos. Lenders may require certified abatement, and even if the material is undisturbed, it can raise red flags during inspections.
That’s why selling to a cash buyer who doesn’t require repairs or inspections is often the best option.

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.
