“Why Sellers in Spokane Work With REI Branded Home Buyer”
Owning a home in Spokane should feel like a blessing—but when the roof leaks, the furnace dies, or the foundation cracks, it can feel more like a burden. If you’re stuck in a house you love (or used to love) but can’t afford the repairs, you’re not alone.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help Spokane homeowners who are overwhelmed by costly home repairs, surprise issues, or deferred maintenance. Whether it’s the Logan Neighborhood, Whitman, or South Hill, we’ve worked with folks all over town facing the same challenge.
Let’s walk through your options—so you can move forward with peace of mind.
Common Expensive Repairs That Derail Spokane Homeowners
You’re not just imagining things—home repairs are expensive. And once one system fails, others often follow.
Here are the big budget busters:
- 💸 Roof replacement ($10,000+)
- 💸 HVAC/furnace repair ($4,000–$8,000)
- 💸 Foundation repairs ($7,000+)
- 💸 Plumbing/electrical upgrades ($5,000–$15,000)
- 💸 Sewer line replacement ($6,000–$20,000)
- 💸 Old windows or siding
- 💸 Interior damage from leaks or pests
Sometimes homeowners delay repairs for a few years… then the house becomes almost unsellable through traditional channels. Sound familiar?
Real Story From Spokane
We helped a homeowner in the Garland District who had multiple issues—roof leaks, outdated electrical, and a broken water main. The bids they received to fix it all were well over $40,000. They were stuck—no savings, no equity to borrow from, and no interest in taking out another loan. We offered a fair price, bought the home as-is, and they were able to downsize without lifting a finger.
Your Options If You Can’t Afford Repairs
1. Get a Home Equity Loan
This works only if you have decent credit and enough equity. But beware: you’re trading one problem for another—debt.
2. Apply for City Assistance (Limited Availability)
Spokane does have some housing repair assistance programs, but funding is limited and the process is slow. Start here if you’re eligible: Spokane Housing Resources
3. Rent the House As-Is
Some owners try to rent out homes without fixing them up. This can lead to unhappy tenants and potential liability. Risky, but possible.
4. Sell As-Is to a Cash Buyer
This is where we come in. You can skip repairs entirely, avoid realtor fees, and close fast. We’ll buy the house just like it is—leaks, cracks, mess and all.

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.
