Divorce real estate
A clear, steady plan for selling the house in a divorce.
One price recommendation, a plan for showings, and updates to the owners and attorneys authorized to receive them.
What I take care of.
When a marriage ends, the house is often the largest shared asset and the hardest to talk about. I keep the real estate work clear while your attorneys handle the legal decisions.
Coordinating both owners
Pricing and offers go to the owners and attorneys authorized to receive them. I don't take sides.
Pricing and marketing
A written price recommendation based on closed sales, so the number is something both sides can review and discuss with counsel.
Showings in an occupied home
Notice, showing hours, and private spaces are agreed before the first showing, whether one of you still lives there or neither does.
Communication with counsel
Updates about price, activity, offers, and deadlines go to counsel as the representation and their instructions allow.
Offers and deadlines
Each offer goes to the people who have to approve it, with a summary and the response deadline.
Title and escrow
I coordinate signatures, payoffs, and the settlement statement with title and escrow through closing.
What happens next.
Most divorce sales follow the same path. The timing depends on your agreement and, sometimes, the court.
Who can sign, and what has to happen first, is confirmed with your attorneys. Nevada and Florida handle this differently, and so do individual cases.
- 1A confidential conversationWe talk through the property, the timeline, and who needs to be involved. It's fine if only one of you calls first.
- 2A pricing opinion in writingI prepare a market analysis both owners and their attorneys can review.
- 3Agree on the ground rulesAccess, showings, how offers are shared, and who signs, confirmed with counsel where needed.
- 4List and negotiateProfessional marketing, then offers presented to everyone at once with my recommendation.
- 5CloseTitle and escrow handle the funds as the agreement or court order directs. I track the deadlines. The closing date still depends on the contract, the lender, and title.
If one of you keeps the house.
A written market value helps with a buyout conversation, even if the home never goes on the market. If a sale makes more sense later, the groundwork is already done.

Questions people ask.
Can we sell the house before the divorce is final?
Often, yes, when both owners agree or a court order allows it. Your attorneys can confirm what applies in your case, and I can prepare pricing either way.
What if we don't agree on the price?
I'll put the comparable sales and my recommendation in writing for both of you. If you still disagree, that decision stays with you and your attorneys. I won't inflate the price to avoid a hard conversation.
One of us wants to keep the house. Can you help?
Yes. A market analysis is useful for a buyout discussion too. Whether and how a buyout happens is something to work out with your attorneys and lender.
Do I need to send court documents?
No. Please don't send decrees, financial statements, or account numbers through this site. If title or escrow needs documents, they'll request them directly.
Are you able to give legal advice?
No. I'm a licensed real estate agent, not an attorney. I handle the sale and keep counsel informed; legal questions stay with your lawyers.
Talk through your situation.
A short note is enough. I'll follow up personally and keep it confidential.
