“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
In Tacoma WA, code violations can quickly become costly and overwhelming. For many property owners, the fastest way out is to sell the house as-is — and avoid steep city fines, repair mandates, or legal escalation.
🚨 What Triggers a Code Violation in Tacoma?
The Tacoma Municipal Code outlines a wide range of property standards that homeowners must follow. Violations often include:
- Overgrown vegetation
- Peeling or chipped paint
- Broken windows or fencing
- Unpermitted construction
- Mold or pest infestations
- Accumulated trash or debris

💸 The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Violations
When the city cites your property, you may face:
- Daily fines that accrue rapidly
- Mandatory corrections by a set deadline
- Risk of city liens and legal action
- Pressure to pass inspections before selling traditionally

🛠️ Can You Repair the Issues?
Yes — but most homeowners find the repair list long and expensive. You’ll likely need to:
- Hire contractors
- Pull retroactive permits
- Remove hazardous materials like mold
- Restore landscaping
- Pay off liens and fines
🔗 Unpermitted Work – WAC 296-46B-915

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.
