Divorce is emotional, stressful, and full of tough decisions. One of the biggest is what to do with the home. Should one of you stay? Should you sell? What happens to the equity.
At Founded Realty, we have helped many families through this difficult transition. Our goal is to bring clarity, reduce pressure, and create a plan that works for both sides.
Here is what you need to know if you are considering selling your home during a divorce.
You Have Options
Every situation is different. Some couples choose to sell and split the proceeds. Others agree that one person will buy the other out. And in some cases, one spouse stays temporarily until a better time to sell. We can help you understand each option and what it means financially and emotionally.
Timing Matters
In many divorces, selling the home helps both people make a fresh start. It can also simplify the division of assets. The key is to coordinate with your attorney and your agent to ensure the sale aligns with your legal process.
You’ll Need a Neutral Third Party
During a divorce, emotions can run high. You need a calm, experienced agent who understands how to work with both parties, communicate clearly, and keep the process moving forward without adding stress.
Clarity About Proceeds and Costs Is Essential
Before you sell, it is important to understand how much equity you have, what selling costs to expect, and how proceeds might be divided. We provide a clear estimate upfront so there are no surprises later.
Privacy and Discretion Matter
We treat every divorce sale with sensitivity and respect. We protect your privacy and handle showings, negotiations, and communication with care. Our job is to help you focus on your next step, not the stress.
You Are Not Alone
This might feel overwhelming, but you do not have to do it alone. We will guide you through every step, from valuation to closing, with honesty and compassion. We will also coordinate with attorneys, lenders, and other professionals as needed.
Let’s create a plan that gives you space to move forward. Reach out for a confidential consultation and let’s talk about the best path for your situation.
