“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
Selling a House With Water Damage in Tacoma, WA
Water damage can ruin more than just drywall — it can derail a traditional sale entirely. Whether your Tacoma home has roof leaks, plumbing issues, or flooding history, most buyers (and agents) will walk away unless it’s fully repaired and inspected.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying as-is properties with water damage, helping homeowners close quickly — no cleaning, repairs, or agents required.
💧 What Causes Water Damage in Tacoma Homes?
- Leaking roofs
- Frozen or burst pipes
- Faulty hot water tanks
- Sewer backups
- Flooding or poor drainage
- Failed sump pumps
- Past fire damage (followed by sprinkler or hose flooding)
Whether your home is in Manitou, Fern Hill, or Eastside, water damage is a red flag to traditional buyers — but not to us.
⚠️ Why Water Damage Makes It Hard to Sell Traditionally
- Mold risks scare off retail buyers
- Lenders won’t finance houses with moisture or foundation issues
- Insurance won’t renew or transfer without remediation
- Repairs can cost $10,000–$50,000 or more
- Disclosures are required under RCW 64.06 – Seller Statement
✅ We Buy Water-Damaged Homes in Tacoma As-Is
REI Branded Home Buyer will make you a fair cash offer, even if:
- The ceiling is sagging
- There’s visible mold
- The walls have rot
- You haven’t finished drying or gutting the space
- The foundation has settled or cracked from saturation
We’ll even coordinate the cleanout and haul-away if needed.

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.
