We Built This Service Around Your Actual Problems
“Every listing decision becomes a new argument”
A single as-is cash offer removes months of joint decisions about agents, prices, repairs and buyers.
“You both keep paying for a house nobody wants”
Every month of listing costs mortgage, insurance and utilities. A fast close stops the bleeding for both sides.
“You need clean numbers for the settlement”
A written offer is an exact figure your attorneys can put straight into the agreement, no estimates, no contingencies that collapse.
“You worry the buyer will back out mid-settlement”
Cash means no financing contingency. When we sign, the deal closes.
Questions People In Your Situation Ask
If both names are on the deed, yes, both must sign. A neutral written offer is often what gets both sides to yes.
Yes. The title company can wire each party's share separately according to the settlement agreement or joint instruction.
Houses are commonly sold during proceedings with both parties' consent or a court order. Coordinate with your attorneys, we can time the closing to the case.
Yes, with both signatures. The sale is documented like any other: written contract, licensed title company, recorded deed. Many family law attorneys prefer it because the fixed price and date remove the biggest unknown from the settlement.
The title company follows written instructions: one wire split into two accounts, exact percentages or amounts per the settlement agreement. Neither spouse has to trust the other to forward money.
Insist on the same three protections we recommend to everyone: title company closing, written offer with the math shown, zero upfront fees. Have both attorneys read the contract. Pressure tactics have no place in a divorce sale and we never use them.
The deed or mortgage statement, both photo IDs, and, if the case is underway, the settlement agreement or a court order authorizing the sale. The title company coordinates with both attorneys directly if you prefer.
Our written offer shows the comparable sales, repair estimate and margin behind the number. Because both spouses see the identical math, neither side can claim the price favored the other. Some couples also order an independent appraisal for the file; we welcome that.
Selling while still married usually preserves the $500,000 joint exclusion on gains, which often beats selling after the divorce finalizes with only $250,000 each. Timing matters, so ask your attorney or CPA before choosing a closing date.
If both names are on the deed, a voluntary sale needs both signatures. When agreement is impossible, courts can order a sale in the divorce judgment. A concrete written offer sometimes breaks the deadlock because it replaces arguments with a number.
