Divorce Sale
What Divorce Sale means
Selling a house during divorce is rarely easy. Traditional sales add months of showings, negotiation, and forced cohabitation while waiting. A cash sale resolves the property piece quickly and privately: no public listing (no neighbors knowing your business), no showings, no extended timeline. We handle the transaction with both spouses’ attorneys when needed and split proceeds at closing according to your settlement agreement.
When this is the right path
Spouses going through divorce who need to sell the marital home. Often want privacy, speed, and clean financial separation. May have one spouse already moved out.

Frequently asked questions
Do both spouses need to agree to sell?
Yes, both spouses on the deed must agree to a sale and sign the closing documents. If you’re in active divorce proceedings, your attorney typically structures the sale terms in the divorce settlement, and we work to those terms. If one spouse refuses to sell, that’s a divorce-attorney issue, not something we can resolve directly.
How is the money split at closing?
Proceeds are split according to your divorce settlement or court order. The closing agent (title company) follows whatever distribution you and your attorneys provide in writing. We just deliver the funds to the title company; they distribute per your instructions.
Can we sell before the divorce is finalized?
Often, yes. Many couples sell during proceedings to liquidate marital property and split proceeds. Some require court approval first; others don’t, depending on the state and circumstances. Your divorce attorney will know the requirements in your case. We’ve closed sales during divorce in every US state.
