Selling the family home during a divorce, handled fairly.
We provide neutral, straightforward representation to help both parties sell the marital home efficiently and move forward — without the sale becoming another point of conflict.
We work with both parties equally — clear, even communication — so the sale can move forward without becoming another source of friction.
How we handle a divorce sale
Six steps, from your first conversation to closing.
Confidential Consultation
We meet with one or both parties — and their attorneys, if involved — to understand the situation, the timeline, and what a fair, efficient sale needs to look like for everyone.
Confirm Court Requirements & Authority
We review the divorce decree or settlement agreement terms around the sale, and confirm what's needed from both parties before listing — so nothing stalls the process later.
Neutral Pricing & Prep Strategy
We set a fair market price based on independent data, not either party's preference, and work out any pre-sale prep or repairs together — with costs agreed on upfront.
List & Market
The home goes on MLS with professional photography and full market exposure, so you get the strongest realistic offers rather than a rushed, underpriced sale.
Negotiate With Both Parties Informed
Every offer and update is communicated to both parties equally and promptly, so no one is caught off guard or feels left out of a decision that affects them.
Close & Distribute Proceeds Per Decree
We coordinate with title and both parties' attorneys to make sure proceeds are split exactly as outlined in the divorce agreement, with no ambiguity at closing.
Common questions
Do both spouses need to agree to sell?
In most cases, yes — both parties on title typically need to consent to a sale, unless a court order or settlement agreement already directs it. If you're unsure where things stand, we can talk through your situation and coordinate with your attorneys as needed.
What if one spouse won't cooperate?
This happens more than people expect. We stay neutral and keep communication even-handed, but a sale that's genuinely stuck usually needs the attorneys or the court involved to resolve — we can point you toward that resource and pick the process back up once there's clear direction.
How are the proceeds split?
Proceeds are distributed exactly as outlined in your divorce decree or settlement agreement. We coordinate with the title company and both parties' attorneys at closing to make sure the split is handled correctly and transparently.
Can we list the home before the divorce is finalized?
Often, yes — many couples list and sell while the divorce is still in process, especially when both parties want to move forward. We'd just want to confirm what your settlement terms or attorneys require before we list, so the sale doesn't run into a conflict later.
