Selling a House That Needs Major Repairs in Washington

Selling a House That Needs Major Repairs in Washington

“Work With Pros Who Care”

Let’s be real—selling a house that needs a ton of repairs can feel overwhelming. Maybe the roof is leaking, the foundation is cracked, the kitchen’s stuck in the 70s, or the entire place just feels like a project nobody wants.

The good news? You can still sell it. Even better, you can sell it as-is, without touching a hammer.

Here’s how to get it done in Washington.


The Challenge of Selling a Fixer-Upper the Traditional Way

If you list a house with major issues through a real estate agent, you’ll run into problems fast:

  • Buyers want move-in ready homes.
  • Lenders may not approve financing for homes with structural, electrical, or safety concerns.
  • Appraisers may flag big-ticket items like foundation damage, roof issues, or faulty plumbing.
  • Agents may recommend you spend tens of thousands to make it marketable.

That’s not realistic for many homeowners dealing with these issues.


Common “Major Repair” Issues We See in Washington Homes

We’ve bought homes all over the state with problems like:

  • Foundation cracks or sinking
  • Roof damage or leaks
  • Outdated or failed electrical systems
  • Non-functioning HVAC
  • Plumbing leaks or sewer backups
  • Rot, mildew, or dry rot
  • Fire or smoke damage
  • Deferred maintenance from years of vacancy

If it sounds like your house, don’t sweat it—we’ve seen worse.


Why Sell to a Cash Buyer Like Us?

At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in homes that agents can’t or won’t list.

When you sell to us:

  • We buy the house as-is—you don’t lift a finger.
  • We handle all repairs ourselves after closing.
  • We pay cash, so there are no lender delays.
  • You pick the closing date.
  • There are no fees, commissions, or closing costs.

We’ve helped homeowners in every condition—from a burned-out Spokane basement to a moldy old cabin in Wenatchee.


A Real Example From Spokane

A homeowner contacted us about a house that hadn’t been updated since the 1960s. The roof leaked, electrical was outdated, and squatters had been in and out. They thought no one would ever buy it. We walked through the house, made a fair offer within 24 hours, and closed two weeks later. They were free—and so was their peace of mind.


Cities Where We Buy “Project” Houses

We buy as-is houses across Washington, including:

Don’t see your city? We probably still buy there—contact us and we’ll let you know.

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.
