“We Buy Fire-Damaged Houses All Over Spokane”
A house fire is traumatic. It shakes your sense of security, damages your property, and often leaves you asking, “What do I do now?”
Whether the damage was minor or catastrophic, selling a fire-damaged house in Spokane doesn’t have to be another nightmare. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying Spokane properties just like yours — as-is, fire damage and all.
Here’s how to move forward with confidence.
🔥 Fire Damage in Spokane: A Real-Life Example
Not long ago, we worked with a family in Hillyard who experienced a basement fire caused by faulty electrical wiring. The fire destroyed their HVAC system and filled the house with smoke damage. Insurance was dragging its feet, and they needed out — fast.
We gave them a cash offer within 48 hours, closed in 10 days, and helped them transition into a safer home with dignity and peace of mind.
🔍 Assessing the Damage: Do You Rebuild or Sell?
After a fire, most homeowners in Spokane face a tough decision:
- Spend tens of thousands on repairs
- Or sell the property as-is and move on
Here’s what fire damage often includes:
| 🔧 Type of Damage | 💸 Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Smoke remediation | $3,000 – $12,000 |
| Structural damage | $10,000 – $50,000+ |
| Electrical rewiring | $5,000 – $15,000 |
| Plumbing replacement | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Interior repair (walls, paint, floors) | $7,000 – $25,000 |
| Roof repair | $5,000 – $20,000 |
These aren’t small numbers — and insurance won’t always cover everything.
💡 What Are Your Options?
If you’re holding onto a fire-damaged home in Spokane, you generally have three paths:
- Repair and Sell Retail
- High upfront cost
- Time-intensive
- Risk of unknown hidden damage
- List As-Is With a Realtor
- May sit on the market for months
- Buyers often back out due to inspections
- You’ll still need to clean out the property
- Sell to a Cash Home Buyer (Like Us)
- We buy fire-damaged homes as-is
- No cleanup, repairs, or showings
- Close in as little as 7 days
🧯 Challenges of Selling a Fire-Damaged Property
Even minor fire damage can scare away traditional buyers and lenders. Here’s why:
- Lenders won’t approve financing for homes with unresolved fire or structural issues
- Home inspectors flag smoke damage, mold, and charred materials
- Buyers expect deep discounts or walk away
- Home insurance issues can delay closing
But REI Branded Home Buyer isn’t a typical buyer. We don’t use banks, and we know how to value a home based on its potential — not its problems.

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.
