Can I request an offer for a house with squatters without fixing it first?
Yes. Start with the current condition and known issues. Any repair, cleanup, occupant, or possession responsibility should be stated in the written agreement.

Sell a House With Squatters or Unauthorized Occupants
Unauthorized occupants can make showings, repairs, and a normal listing difficult. We consider occupied problem properties when the access limits and legal situation are explained up front.
Understand the property and the written terms
Do not enter a property or remove occupants in a way that risks safety or violates the law. Document what you know, contact qualified local professionals about possession, and make sure any purchase agreement identifies who is responsible for each step.
When you contact Equity Consultant Pros, share the address or parcel number, current condition, occupancy, known title issues, and your preferred timing. If the property fits, we can explain a proposed cash offer. Requesting an offer does not require you to accept it.
Compare the price and estimated net proceeds with your other options. Read the agreement carefully, confirm the buyer and any assignment rights, and get legal, tax, or financial advice when your situation calls for it.
Helpful details to gather
Address or parcel number, photos if available, repair history, occupant status, access limits, title or probate documents, notices, estimates, and your desired closing window.
