“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
Fire is one of the most devastating things that can happen to a home. Whether it was a small kitchen blaze or a full structure fire, the aftermath can be overwhelming — emotionally and financially.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help homeowners across Washington State sell fire-damaged homes as-is. No need to wait for insurance, make repairs, or deal with agents. If your home in Spokane, Tacoma, or Vancouver has suffered fire or smoke damage, we can make you a fair cash offer fast.
Common Scenarios We See
We’ve helped Washington sellers facing all types of fire-related challenges:
- Insurance claims that are stalled or denied
- House partially burned, smoke-logged, or boarded up
- Total loss, with nothing salvageable
- Water damage from firefighting efforts
- Code violations or safety concerns
- Emotional trauma that makes it hard to return
In many cases, rebuilding is more expensive than just walking away — and we’re here to help make that possible.
What to Do After a House Fire in Washington
After a fire, your first step is often to contact your insurance provider. But if you:
- Don’t have coverage
- Are underinsured
- Or simply don’t want to deal with the rebuild
…you still have options.
You can legally sell a house in Washington even if it’s been damaged by fire — and even if it’s not habitable.
Real Story From Spokane County
A homeowner in Spokane Valley had a grease fire that gutted the kitchen and filled the home with smoke. Insurance dragged the claim out for nearly 4 months. Mold started to form, and city code enforcement stepped in.
We bought the house as-is, paid cash, and handled the cleanout and remediation ourselves. The seller walked away in less than two weeks — stress-free and fully paid.

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.
