“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
If you’ve discovered someone living in your Everett property without permission, you may be dealing with squatters. It’s more common than you think — especially in vacant homes, rentals, or inherited properties.
The legal process to remove them is stressful and time-consuming. But if you’re ready to move on, there’s good news: you can still sell the property — squatters and all.
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying distressed, occupied, and problem properties — even those with active squatter issues.
🧍♂️ What Are Squatters?
Squatters are individuals who occupy a property without permission. Some may claim “tenant” rights, even if there’s no lease. Others break in and start living there to avoid homelessness or take advantage of vacant homes.
Washington State law includes squatters’ rights, making it harder for homeowners to act quickly without a legal process.
⚠️ The Risks of a Squatter-Occupied Home
Owning a home with squatters can bring:
- Vandalism or property damage
- Theft of appliances or materials
- Code violations from the city (code info)
- Legal liability if someone gets hurt
- Fines for blight or neglect
And worst of all — you may be liable if you try to remove them improperly.
🧾 Can You Sell a House With Squatters Inside?
Yes. But not easily through a traditional listing. Real estate agents typically won’t touch it, and buyers don’t want the legal headache.
That’s where we come in.

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.
