“How REI Branded Home Buyer Can Help”
If someone has moved into your vacant property in Tacoma WA without your permission, you’re likely facing a squatter situation. While Washington State does not protect criminal trespassing, squatters can exploit legal loopholes to delay eviction—especially if the property appears abandoned.
Whether you’ve inherited a house, moved out early, or own a rental gone wrong, REI Branded Home Buyer can help you sell your house fast—even with squatters inside.
What Are Squatters Rights?
Squatters rights, also known as adverse possession, allow someone occupying a property to eventually gain legal ownership—if certain conditions are met over time. In Washington, the squatter must occupy the home for 10 continuous years, openly and notoriously, without permission, and must pay taxes.
While that’s rare, the bigger problem is removing squatters legally, which can be costly and time-consuming.

🔗 Squatting – General Definition
Signs You May Have a Squatter in Tacoma
- Unauthorized people living in a vacant property
- Changed locks or barricades
- Utilities turned on in someone else’s name
- Complaints from neighbors or city code enforcement
If your property is in areas like Hilltop, South Tacoma, or the Eastside, vacant homes are more vulnerable to unauthorized entry.
Options for Homeowners
Dealing with squatters often involves:
- Filing a Notice to Vacate under RCW
- Going through an unlawful detainer process
- Waiting weeks (or months) for legal action to proceed

In the meantime, your house may suffer damage, drop in value, and attract further enforcement from the City of Tacoma for code violations.

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.
