REI SQUAD: Where
Every Home Has a Story

In a world of automated responses and cookie-cutter solutions, REI SQUAD stands for something different. We believe that behind every house is a story, behind every sale is a person, and behind every decision is a reason. That’s what drives us.

Our Philosophy is Simple

We’re building more than a business – we’re creating change in real estate, one relationship at a time. What We Stand For:

  • Truth over transactions (yes, we’ll tell you if working with us isn’t your best option)
  • Solutions over sales (because your needs come before our bottom line)
  • Relationships over rushing (we’re in it for the long haul)
  • Clarity over confusion (goodbye, real estate jargon; hello, straight talk)
  • Action over promises (watch what we do, not just what we say)

The REI SQUAD Difference

At our core, we believe your home sale matters—because it does. We’re not just investors; we’re problem solvers, creative thinkers, and real people who understand every situation is unique.

Whether you’re:

  • Looking for a quick, hassle-free sale
  • Managing an inherited property
  • Facing financial challenges
  • Ready for a fresh start

We adapt to your needs, offering:

  • No cleaning or repairs required
  • No open houses or endless showings
  • No pressure, hidden fees, or last-minute surprises

When my friend faced losing his home, Markesha helped explore all options. She handled the situation personally and professionally, selling the home in under a month to avoid foreclosure. Her extraordinary commitment and patience made a difficult situation manageable.
