What to Do With a Fire-Damaged Home in Tacoma WA
A house fire is devastating — and after the flames are out, reality sets in. Repairs can be costly, insurance claims take time, and you might just want to move on.
If you’re stuck with a fire-damaged property in Tacoma WA, here are your main options:
1. Rebuild and Restore
If the damage isn’t total and your insurance payout covers it, you could consider:
- Hiring a contractor
- Pulling permits via Tacoma’s Municipal Code
- Restoring over several months
🛑 Just note: Fire repairs in Tacoma must comply with strict code updates. Permits, inspections, and environmental cleanup may apply.
2. Sell As-Is to a Cash Buyer
This is the fastest path to resolution:
- No cleanup or repair work needed
- Close fast — often within 7–14 days
- Avoid insurance delays or foreclosure risks

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.
