Squatter Situations
Whether it's a holdover guest or an unauthorized occupant, we buy properties as-is, occupied, and handle the legal process ourselves so you don't have to.
Unauthorized occupants are the one situation where almost every seller we talk to has already been told no — by agents, by retail buyers, sometimes by another investor who backed out after a walkthrough went badly. We say yes because we've done it before and because we handle the removal ourselves after we own the property.
Practically, that means we don't need interior access to make an offer. We use exterior condition, records, and comparables, and we build the unknowns into the number instead of asking you to solve them first. You sign, you get funded, and the problem stops being yours the day we record the deed.
What you can expect from us
- We buy occupied properties as-is.
- Our team handles the legal process post-closing, at our cost.
- You don't need to set foot on the property.
- No cleanout, no repairs, no confrontation.
- Confidential — no public listings or signage.
How this works where you live
Changing locks, cutting utilities, or removing belongings yourself can create liability for you across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Removal goes through the courts.
DC's tenant protections are broad and courts often treat an occupant as a tenant by default, so cases run through Landlord and Tenant Court and take time.
Maryland uses wrongful-detainer actions in District Court; Virginia uses unlawful detainer in the General District Court. Both require proper notice and a hearing.

If someone is in your home who shouldn't be, the longer it sits the worse it gets. Let us take it from here.
