The Michael Barry show. So imagine you own a home and you're trying to sell it. You call

0:09.0

a realtor. She puts a sign out front. She puts it in MLS. Every day you want to know did

0:19.8

anybody show the house? Do we have any contracts? We even have any offers because you're carrying

0:27.8

a note on this house that you don't live in and you're ready to find somebody that wants

0:33.9

to buy it and take it off your hands. It's a little bit stressful. Well, in Houston there

0:43.2

is a growing problem of homes that are vacant being taken over by squatters who refuse to

0:56.0

get out. It's not that they slip in there and you don't know they're there. And when

2:18.2

story ABC 13. Well, they've been working on this frankly since the beginning of the year. The

2:23.0

squatters actually moved into the house. You see right behind me in January, since then they

2:26.8

2:32.9

month just to show you what happened. And yesterday, the squatters finally were forced to move out

2:39.4
