 Selling Your Home During Divorce? Here’s What You Need to Know Navigating a home sale during a divorce can be challenging, but our team specializes in guiding couples through this process with ease. With years of experience helping dozens of divorcing couples, we’ve gained valuable insights that can save you time, reduce stress, and protect your financial interests. We recently consulted one of our trusted real estate attorneys, who shared this critical advice:  Ensure both spouses have full access to financial details—mortgage statements, bank accounts, and other relevant records—before filing for divorce.Having this information upfront helps prevent misunderstandings and disputes down the road.  Define Home Sale Terms in the Divorce DecreeA common issue we encounter is when one spouse continues paying the mortgage or funding home improvements, only for the proceeds to be split evenly without accounting for those expenses. To avoid this, clearly outline the sale terms in your divorce decree.   Establish a Timeline and Clear ExpectationsTo keep the process on track and minimize conflicts, include specific details in the divorce agreement, such as: • A timeline for listing the home (e.g., within 90 days) • The initial listing price (e.g., based on a professional appraisal) • How often the home must be available for showings • The condition the home should be in for those showings Without these guidelines, one party could—intentionally or not—delay the sale, leaving the home on the market for months or even years.
