“Your Trusted Home Buyer REI Branded Home Buyer”
A vacant property can attract unwanted attention — and sometimes, it ends up occupied by squatters.
Whether it’s strangers, former tenants, or even family members who refused to leave, unauthorized occupants can make it incredibly difficult to sell a house through traditional channels.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we help homeowners across Washington sell houses with squatters, trespassers, or holdover tenants — fast and discreetly, with no court battles or confrontations.
What Is a Squatter?
A squatter is someone who occupies a property without permission. In Washington, they can be difficult to remove, especially if they’ve established residency or utility access.
We’ve seen it all:
- Former tenants who stayed after eviction
- Friends or family members who refused to leave
- Unknown occupants in vacant homes
- People claiming fake lease agreements
- Attempted adverse possession
Real Story From Tacoma
A rental property in Tacoma had been vacant for four months. The owner lived out of state. By the time they returned, a group had moved in, changed the locks, and claimed rights to stay.
We purchased the home with the squatters still inside, handled the legal process after closing, and saved the seller from flying back and fighting in court.

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.
