Divorced & Confused? Tips for Selling Your Shared Home

Ensure a smooth process and fair distribution of assets during divorce.

Are you or someone you know facing the tough decision of divorce? Divorce can be one of the most challenging situations in life, and it often involves tough decisions about shared assets. Having a knowledgeable and sensitive real estate advisor can help you get through this process. As a certified divorce real estate professional, here are some ways I can assist you in handling real estate during divorce. 

  • Dispute resolution. Disputes are inevitable in a divorce, especially regarding significant assets like the family home or investments. Working closely with legal professionals ensures that each decision complies with court orders and legal guidelines.
  • Transparent and frequent communication. Maintaining open lines of communication through phone calls, emails, and meetings is crucial to keeping everyone informed. It is also advisable to provide separate updates to both parties as a sign of respect and privacy.

  • Property access and repairs. Handling necessary maintenance can be contentious during a divorce. To avoid this, arrange property access and schedule visits respectfully and non-intrusively to make both parties comfortable when repairs are needed. Obtain quotes from trusted contractors and facilitate discussions for both parties to determine how the cost will be covered.

"Compliance with legal protocols maintains the safety and well-being of both parties."

  • Refer back to the divorce settlement agreement. Seek guidance from legal representatives to ensure a fair resolution. Legal compliance should be observed, especially in cases involving restraining orders or other legal restrictions. Compliance with legal protocols maintains the safety and well-being of both parties.
  • Confidentiality. This is one of the main aspects of handling divorce listings. Do not disclose the listing as a divorce unless it is necessary for legal reasons or if both parties agree. This protects the privacy of those involved and ensures the property gets fair market value.
