“We Buy Houses All Over Spokane”
Water damage is one of those problems that sneaks up on homeowners and can turn a simple repair into a major renovation project. Whether it’s due to a burst pipe, a leaky roof, or flooding from Spokane’s unpredictable weather, water damage can cause big headaches. If you’re looking to sell a house with water damage in Spokane, you’re probably wondering if anyone will even want to buy it.
The good news? You absolutely can sell a house with water damage—and you don’t have to fix a thing.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help homeowners all across Spokane who are dealing with water damage, and we buy houses as-is for cash. Here’s everything you need to know.
Common Causes of Water Damage in Spokane Homes
Spokane’s climate and aging housing stock create the perfect storm for water-related issues. Common causes include:
- Frozen or burst pipes in winter
- Roof leaks from snow and ice buildup
- Poor drainage or clogged gutters
- Leaky basements from shifting foundations or outdated waterproofing
- Appliance malfunctions like washing machines or water heaters
Water damage can lead to mold, warped floors, weakened drywall, and even structural problems. And unfortunately, it often gets worse (and more expensive) the longer it’s left untreated.
Should You Fix Water Damage Before Selling?
If you’re thinking about listing your house with a real estate agent, then yes—you’d likely need to fix everything. Most buyers using traditional financing won’t qualify for a mortgage on a home with unresolved damage.
But if the idea of:
- Spending thousands on repairs
- Waiting for inspections, appraisals, and buyer financing
- Cleaning and staging the house
sounds like too much stress…
Then selling to a cash buyer like REI Branded Home Buyer is a smart alternative. We buy Spokane homes with water damage in any condition, and we don’t ask you to make a single repair.
What We Look For (Spoiler: Not Much!)
We’re not scared off by:
- Mold or mildew
- Peeling paint or damaged drywall
- Ruined carpets or flooring
- Leaking foundations
- Prior insurance claims
We understand these things happen. We even bought a house in Spokane last winter where a pipe had burst in the basement, and the entire lower level was soaked. The seller didn’t have the money to fix it, and their insurance claim was denied. We closed in 10 days and helped them move on.

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.
