Divorcing and selling your marital home is an emotional time but having a real estate agent who is experienced working with divorcing couples can help. Consider the following:
They are experienced in being an objective third party to help with decisions during an emotional time.
They are knowledgeable in different divorce situations, such as one person buying out the other.
They have mediation skills for disagreements about home selling decisions and property division, which can lower legal bills, leading to a quicker sale.
They have knowledge of legal and tax implications related to divorce and selling the matrimonial home and can ensure all paperwork is handled correctly.
They know how to market the home and will maintain confidentiality about the personal circumstances of their clients. For example, the home must look like the couple is together. If prospective buyers have any indication of a divorce sale, they may make a lowball offer thinking the sellers are desperate to sell quickly.
If you are looking for a REALTOR® who specializes in divorce real estate, ask for and check their references of divorced clients they have sold with in the past.
