This is not your typical sale
Selling a home during or after a divorce is a unique situation that requires a different approach than a typical sale, and thus, a typical REALTOR® may not be suitable. There are various factors to consider when selling a home in this situation, such as
-
Higher chances of conflicts and disagreements, particularly about the sale price and how the proceeds will be divided.
-
Child custody and visitation arrangements can impact the timing and logistics of the sale,
-
restraining orders could affect how the property is marketed or shown to potential buyers.
-
Uncooperative spouses may not be willing to cooperate with the selling process, delaying or sabotaging the sale.
To navigate these complexities, it's essential to work with a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE®) who has the necessary training and experience handling divorce home sales and can provide guidance and support throughout the process.
Where do I start?
Does the house have to be sold?
In some cases, the sale of the marital home may not be necessary if one party can buy out the other's share either by mutual consent or a court order.
Our team works with Certified Divorce Lending Professionals to assist you in exploring your options for buying the home. If you are uncertain if the home needs to be sold in your situation, consult an attorney.
Is keeping the house the right move?
It's important to note that being awarded the house or being able to buy out your spouse doesn't necessarily mean that keeping the property is the best financial decision for you.
It is highly recommended that you speak with a financial planner and discuss your situation to determine whether holding onto the property is the right move for you and your family.
