Selling a house during a divorce

When a house is part of a divorce, the hard part usually isn’t finding a buyer. It’s getting two people to agree on repairs, price, showings, and timing. Selling as-is takes most of those decisions off the table.

Who has to sign

If both spouses are on the title, both usually need to sign the sale contract and the deed. If the court has issued an order about the house, the sale has to follow it. Your attorneys will know what’s required in your case.

How we keep it even

• We give the same written offer to both owners, and to both attorneys if you’d like.
• There are no repairs to split the cost of and no showings to coordinate.
• You pick the closing date together, or the court does.
• Each owner can sign separately, at different times or by mail.

How the money is split

The title company pays off the mortgage and any other liens at closing. The rest is paid out the way your settlement or court order directs. Each of you can get your share directly.
