When a divorce involves a home or other real estate, deciding what happens to the property can add another layer of complexity to an already difficult situation. Whether the property needs to be sold, one spouse is buying out the other, or the court has ordered the property to be sold, I can help guide you through the real estate side of the process.

I work directly with you and, when appropriate, your attorney to help ensure the real estate transaction follows the terms of your Marital Dissolution Agreement (MDA), court order, or other applicable agreement. Different states may use different terminology and procedures, so I work within the instructions provided by the parties' legal representatives and the court.

I can prepare a professional Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to establish a realistic market value for the property and help you understand what the home may reasonably sell for in the current market.

I can help identify what should—and should not—be done to prepare the property for the market, including recommendations regarding repairs, presentation, pricing, and timing.

If the decision is to sell, I handle the listing, marketing, showings, negotiations, contracts, and coordination of the transaction from listing through closing.

When a sale is subject to an MDA, court order, or other legal agreement, I can communicate directly with the appropriate attorney or authorized parties regarding the real estate transaction and follow the instructions provided.

Divorce transactions can involve multiple decision-makers. My role is to keep the real estate portion organized, communicate clearly with everyone involved, and help move the transaction toward a successful closing.

You don't have to figure out the real estate portion of the process alone. Before making decisions about selling, refinancing, buying out a spouse, or determining the property's value, it can be helpful to understand your options and the current market.
