“Work With Local Pros Who Care”
Selling a house is stressful enough. Add a lien to the mix, and you might feel completely stuck.
But if you own a home in Spokane, WA, and you’ve discovered a lien—or already knew about it—don’t panic. You can still sell your house. In fact, we’ve helped dozens of homeowners in your shoes do just that.
Let’s break down your options and how to move forward, even with liens on the title.
What Is a Lien, Exactly?
A lien is a legal claim against your property due to unpaid debts. Common types of liens include:
- Property tax liens from Spokane County
- Contractor or mechanic’s liens from unpaid work
- HOA or municipal code enforcement liens
- Judgment liens from court cases
- IRS or state tax liens
Liens must typically be paid before (or during) a sale. But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck.
Can You Sell a House With a Lien in Spokane?
Yes. There are three common routes:
- Pay off the lien before listing
- Negotiate a lien settlement
- Sell the house with the lien, and pay it off at closing
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in option 3. We can buy your home as-is, work directly with the title company and lienholders, and handle everything so you don’t have to.
Real Spokane Story: A Fresh Start in Hillyard
We recently worked with a seller in Hillyard who inherited a house with multiple contractor liens and a city code violation. The house was old, falling apart, and he had no desire to deal with it.
We negotiated with the lienholders, got title cleared, and closed in 12 days. The seller walked away with cash, and no more 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.
