“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Thinking of selling a house that still has tenants inside? Whether they’re great renters or problematic ones, it can be tricky — but it’s absolutely possible in Washington.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy homes that are currently occupied, vacant, or in the middle of lease issues. We’ve handled everything from inherited rental properties to situations with squatters or non-paying tenants.
Can You Sell a House With Tenants in Washington?
Yes — Washington law allows you to sell a property with tenants, but you have to honor the lease or rental agreement, unless:
- The lease is month-to-month
- You’ve issued a proper notice to vacate
- The tenant has broken lease terms (like non-payment)
If the lease is still active, a new buyer (like us) takes over as the new landlord, or can negotiate with the tenant directly.
Types of Tenant Situations We Work With
- Paying tenants with long-term leases
- Month-to-month tenants with no lease
- Properties where eviction is already in progress
- Squatters or unauthorized occupants
- Landlords tired of the rental game
We make offers either way — with or without the tenant out.
Real Story From Everett
A landlord in Everett had a rental property with two tenants—one was great, the other hadn’t paid rent in 4 months. The owner didn’t want to deal with court or handle the eviction.
We made a cash offer, took the property as-is with both tenants, and handled the transition ourselves. He closed in 10 days and moved on without the stress.

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.
