Specialized seller guidance

Home Sales During Divorce

A home sale during divorce should follow the parties' written agreements and legal advice while keeping property decisions neutral, documented, and focused on a workable closing.

When to start

Start with clarity

Begin once the parties and their attorneys can define authority and communication. Garrett provides real estate guidance and does not provide legal advice or represent either party's legal interests.

  1. Confirm authority, access, and any written legal requirements.
  2. Use the same pricing evidence and updates for all authorized parties.
  3. Agree on preparation, showings, offer review, and communication channels.
  4. Coordinate contract and closing milestones with the parties' advisors.

Seller questions, answered

How is the list price decided during divorce?

Garrett can provide market evidence and a recommended listing range. Decisions about ownership, proceeds, and authority should follow written agreements and advice from each party's attorney.

Can a home be marketed while one spouse still lives there?

Yes, when access, communication, and authority are agreed in advance. A written showing and approval process reduces avoidable conflict.
