“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Got an empty house just sitting there? Whether it’s a property you inherited, moved out of, or never got around to renting or fixing—vacant homes can quickly turn into big liabilities.
If you’re dealing with a vacant house in Washington, here’s what you should know—and how you can sell it fast without sinking another dollar into it.
Why Vacant Houses Are Risky in Washington
Leaving a home vacant for an extended period creates several issues—financially, legally, and physically. Here’s what can go wrong:
- Property Deterioration: With no one living there, issues like roof leaks, frozen pipes, or pest infestations can go unnoticed and lead to expensive damage.
- Break-ins and Vandalism: Vacant homes are prime targets for theft, squatting, and property destruction.
- Insurance Gaps: Many standard home insurance policies don’t cover long-term vacancies, leaving you exposed.
- City Code Violations: Some municipalities in Washington fine property owners for letting vacant homes fall into disrepair. In Spokane and other cities, repeated citations can escalate quickly.
- Fire Risk: An unattended house can be more vulnerable to electrical fires, arson, or other disasters.
Bottom line: an empty house is a ticking time bomb, and the longer you wait, the more it could cost you.
Common Reasons Homes Sit Vacant
We’ve worked with homeowners all over Washington who left properties empty for reasons like:
- Moving to another city or state for work
- Inheriting a property through probate
- Divorce or separation
- Trying (unsuccessfully) to sell the home
- The house needs major repairs they couldn’t afford
- Tenants moved out and they didn’t want to rent again
Whether your house is sitting vacant in Wenatchee, Tacoma, or Spokane Valley, we can help.

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.
