DispoKey

    Squatters in your house? Step out of the fight

    Removing unauthorized occupants can mean months in court. If you'd rather not, we can buy the property with them still inside.

    • No repairs or cleaning
    • No agent commissions
    • Funds held by title

    The short answer

    DispoKey buys houses occupied by squatters or unauthorized occupants for cash, as-is, allowing the owner to sell and step away from the removal process, which the new owner then handles through the proper legal channels.

    How it works

    Four calm steps, at your pace

      1

      Tell us the situation

      How long they've been there and any notices served.

      2

      Offer without full access

      We can price from the exterior and records if needed.

      3

      Close

      Title transfers with the occupants still in place.

      4

      We handle removal

      Through the legal process, as the new owner.

    Don't try to remove them yourself

    Changing locks, removing belongings or shutting off utilities can expose an owner to legal liability in many states, even when the occupant has no right to be there. Laws differ — some states have faster processes for squatters than for tenants. A local attorney is the right first call.

    Selling instead

    If you'd rather not go through the process, selling transfers the problem to us. You disclose what you know, and we handle it as the new owner. Closing runs through a licensed title company or closing attorney, which pays off liens and mortgages from the sale proceeds before you're paid.
