“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Selling a Fire-Damaged House in Washington? Here’s What to Know
A house fire can be traumatic — emotionally and financially. Whether your Washington home suffered minor smoke damage or was partially destroyed, trying to sell it on the open market can be tough.
Most buyers won’t touch a house with structural issues or a black mark on its insurance history.
If you’re asking “Can I still sell this house?” — the answer is yes.
🔥 Types of Fire Damage in Washington Homes
Common damage we see includes:
- Electrical fires (wiring, panels)
- Kitchen fires (grease or appliance-based)
- Chimney and furnace malfunctions
- Wildfire-related structure damage
In many cases, fire leads to water damage, mold, or code issues like unsafe framing and unpermitted repairs.
🏚 Why Selling After a Fire Is So Hard
Trying to sell traditionally? You’ll face:
- Delays from insurance claims
- Required city inspections or red tags
- Appraisers devaluing the property
- Buyer loan denials (FHA/VA typically won’t fund)
- Permitting requirements from Washington State building laws
Some cities, like Spokane and Tacoma, may issue citations or code enforcement violations if the damage isn’t cleaned up quickly.

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.
