Former California handyman, Flash Shelton, has turned his experience of evicting squatters from his mother’s home into a successful business called Squatter Hunters. Shelton’s journey began in 2019 when he found himself trying to remove unwanted intruders from his mother’s house in Northern California after his father passed away. Despite law enforcement deeming it a civil matter, Shelton took matters into his own hands and successfully reclaimed the property by outsmarting the squatters.
Shelton’s unique approach to dealing with squatters has garnered attention nationwide, with homeowners reaching out to him for help with their own situations. He now travels across the country, providing his services through video conferences and in-person visits when necessary.
With laws regarding squatters’ rights varying from state to state, Shelton emphasizes the importance of being prepared and proactive in protecting your property. He advises homeowners to invest in security measures such as cameras and locking mailboxes, and to contact law enforcement immediately if they suspect squatters on their property.
As Shelton continues to fight against squatters and help homeowners reclaim their properties, he hopes to see laws in place to make squatting a crime in all 50 states. His dedication to his work and his mission to protect homeowners from intruders have earned him the title of the “Squatter Hunter.”
