“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Got a bad tenant and want out? You’re not alone. Many Washington landlords reach a breaking point — unpaid rent, property damage, threats of eviction, or legal battles.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help property owners across Washington State sell houses with difficult tenants, lease violations, or even squatters. Whether you’re in Spokane, Pasco, or Tacoma, we’ll take the property off your hands — occupied or not.
What Counts as a “Bad Tenant”?
Not all tenants are created equal. Here are the most common issues we see:
- Repeated nonpayment of rent
- Property damage beyond normal wear and tear
- Unauthorized occupants or pets
- Illegal activity on the property
- Refusal to allow showings or cooperate with the sale
- Tenants claiming squatters’ rights
Even with a lease, dealing with this behavior can become a full-time job — and in Washington, eviction laws tend to favor the tenant.
Can You Sell a Rental With a Tenant in It?
Yes — and you’ve got two main options.
Option 1: Wait for Them to Leave, Then List It
This works if the lease is almost up or the tenant agrees to move out. But it can delay your plans, especially if you’re dealing with a notice to vacate situation.
Option 2: Sell the Property With the Tenant in Place
Many investors (like us) will buy the property with the tenant still living there — even if they’re not paying rent. We’ll handle the legal work, the eviction (if necessary), and any repairs.
Real Story From Pasco
A landlord in Pasco had tenants who stopped paying rent for 6 months and trashed the inside of the house. He tried to evict them, but delays kept dragging it out.
We gave him a fair cash offer, bought the house with the tenants still inside, and handled the legal removal through our attorney. He didn’t have to show up or lift a finger.

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.
