Selling a Home During Divorce in the Sheaborhood
Selling a home when two people have to agree, with clear communication to both of you.
Selling a Sheaborhood home during divorce
A divorce home sale in the Sheaborhood carries the usual 85028 questions, like how to price an established home against the right comparisons, plus one more: two owners who both need to agree. Clear information, shared equally, keeps the sale from stalling.
How I keep it even-handed
Both owners get the same information at the same time: the price reasoning with the comparable sales, every offer side by side and every decision with its options and deadline. I coordinate with each side's attorney so the sale follows your agreement and any court orders. I am an Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Realty with education and experience in divorce-related real estate.
Decisions to make early
Who stays in the home until it sells, who covers the mortgage and costs meanwhile, and how preparation costs are handled are worth settling with your attorneys first. A clear home value helps whether you sell or one of you keeps the home. More on the process: selling during divorce.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you represent both spouses?
I represent the owners as set out in our listing agreement and keep communication even-handed so both of you are informed at every step.
Can one of us keep the house instead?
Yes, that is a decision for the two of you and your attorneys. A home value can help that conversation.
