“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
Body:
Whether it was a burst pipe, heavy rain, or full-blown flooding, water damage is a nightmare. Repairs are costly, insurance claims are slow, and mold can start growing in days.
If your Washington home has been hit by water damage, you don’t have to fix it up to sell. At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy homes as-is — even if they’re soaked, damaged, or partially gutted.
Common Water Damage Situations in Washington
Water damage in Washington homes usually comes from:
- Basement flooding due to rising water tables
- Leaky roofs during heavy rains
- Plumbing or sewer line failures
- Poor drainage or foundation issues
- Seasonal flooding in wetland or floodplain areas
- Frozen pipes that burst in winter
And unfortunately, most of these don’t just damage drywall — they bring mold, rot, and long-term structural problems.
Can You Sell a Flood-Damaged House As-Is?
Yes — and you don’t have to clean or repair anything.
We buy homes with:
- Sagging ceilings or moldy walls
- Flooded basements and warped floors
- Missing drywall or insulation
- Failed homeowner insurance claims
- Visible water lines and mildew odors
Even if you’ve already started demo work, we’ll still buy it.
Real Story From Vancouver
A homeowner in Vancouver, WA had a burst pipe while out of town. By the time they returned, the kitchen and living room were soaked. The insurance payout didn’t come close to covering the damage.
They called us. We gave them a cash offer the same day and closed in 8 days. No repairs, no agents, no fees — just a clean exit from a waterlogged mess.

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.
