Selling a house during a divorce
Neither of you wants to manage a listing together. A direct sale keeps it simple and quiet.
Can I sell my house during a divorce?
Generally yes if both owners agree, and the money is handled as part of your settlement. You usually cannot sell without the other owner's signature if you are both on the deed. If a court order is in place, that order governs. Check with your divorce attorney before you decide.
Can I be forced to sell my house in a divorce?
A court can order a sale as part of dividing property. Many couples would rather choose the buyer and the timing themselves than have it ordered. That is a common reason people call us at this stage.
How long does it take?
We can close in a few weeks when title is clear, or wait months if the settlement needs to land before the sale. You choose the date. Often the timing is worth more than squeezing the last bit out of a price.
Will we have to do showings?
No. No listing, no open houses, no strangers walking through while you live separately. We do a walkthrough, give a written offer, and that is it.
What if we disagree on the price?
That is common. A written offer from an outside buyer gives you both a real number to look at instead of arguing over guesses. You can also compare it with listing the house. Your attorneys can help you decide together.
Want to know what we would pay?
Tell us the address and the situation. It costs nothing and you are never obligated to take the number.
