“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
A house fire can change everything in an instant — leaving behind not just damage, but stress, insurance battles, and uncertainty.
Whether the home is partially damaged, uninhabitable, or has lingering smoke issues, selling it through the traditional market can take months (if it sells at all).
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy fire-damaged houses in Washington — as-is, no cleanup, no repairs, and no waiting on insurance.
Common Fire Damage Scenarios We Buy
- Minor kitchen fires with smoke damage
- Major structural fires with roof or wall loss
- Homes red-tagged by the city or county
- Insurance claims denied or still pending
- Abandoned homes hit by electrical fires
- Fire caused by squatters or tenants
Real Story From Spokane
A landlord in Spokane had a rental duplex where an unattended candle caused a small fire. Smoke spread through both units, and the city red-tagged the building.
Insurance stalled. Contractors quoted over $80,000 in repairs. We made a cash offer in 48 hours, bought it as-is, and helped the owner avoid a total loss.

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.
